yeah its a bit like those "burn" cards from hexaghost, i think those do (blockable) damage as well, but after a few of them in a turn, it can break though your block and get through.

(even with the 15 card per turn limit in some endless mode games, thats still like 9x3=27dmg)

i think there is only 1 relic (maybe modded) that could help with this, which gives you 2 block when you take a direct damage i think - but that will still rely on the character taking damage :)

3 damage to block does add up rather quickly

By the sound of it, it already shoots from a very bad boss relic to a must-take relic. You sure it should take damage instead of Losing HP?

this is Much better ;) i never take velvet choker if i have a choice due to its hard limit but this is really good for pushing our luck and taking dmg, and the needing some way to mitigate it :)

anarcher yes it is normal damage

Is it normal, blockable damage?

Finally, it's pickable.
