Guard costs 1 Energy and creates a barrier that absorbs 10 damage for each Energy held.
Your next damaging attack within two turns deals 15% more damage. After use or expiry, damage is reduced by 15% for two turns.
The starting kit uses Pebble Throw; elemental scrolls add spells beyond that opening attack.
The following tips are recommendations derived from the recorded ability effects, not a tested optimal rotation.
Use Mage’s Sense when a damaging attack is ready within its two-turn window. Activating it before a sequence of non-damaging actions can waste the boosted hit.
Plan for the reduced-damage period after the boost ends. Review healing or defensive needs rather than assuming the bonus remains active.
Guard and spells compete for Energy. Check your reserve before choosing a barrier, then read new elemental scrolls before replacing your usual spell sequence.
