Potion
Speed Potion
Gain 5 Dexterity. At the end of your turn, lose 5 Dexterity.
Speed Potion grants temporary Dexterity for the current turn, increasing the Block gained from all cards played that turn. This defensive potion lets you generate significantly more Block from your existing defense cards without changing your deck composition.
Speed Potion is ideal for surviving big damage turns from bosses like Lagavulin Matriarch or Kaiser Crab, where a single turn of enhanced blocking can be the difference between life and death. Use it on turns where the enemy telegraphs a massive multi-hit or single large attack.
Silent benefits most from Speed Potion thanks to cards like Blade Dance that generate multiple Block instances through Afterimage, and Wraith Form's defensive scaling. Ironclad can pair it with Barricade to retain the enhanced Block permanently. Defect appreciates the extra Dexterity when generating Block through skill cards alongside Buffer. Sacred Bark doubles the Dexterity bonus for even stronger defensive turns. Cracked Core's passive orb channeling pairs with the Defect's defensive scaling.
