Strangle

Strangle is a 2-cost uncommon Attack card for the Silent that deals 12 damage and applies 2 Weak to an enemy. The combination of meaningful damage and strong Weak application makes it a versatile offensive-defensive card. Two turns of Weak provides sustained damage reduction against dangerous enemies.

Strangle pairs with Leg Sweep for extended Weak duration alongside massive Block. Neutralize provides free additional Weak application. Finisher counts Strangle as an Attack for damage scaling. Envenom applies Poison when the 12 damage is unblocked. Expose builds on the debuff theme with additional Weak and Vulnerable.

Silent players should pick Strangle when they need both damage and Weak application in a single card. It is effective against hard-hitting bosses like Ceremonial Beast and Kaiser Crab where Weak is critical. The 2-cost limits its use in energy-tight situations, so pair it with energy generation.
