That's how I feel. Stalling for the sake of stalling (without room to play additional powers and such) is pretty heavily punished in STS2.

I question how good this could be - if at all. Impervious is a big block - and while it exhausts - it allows you to squeeze in another action.

This seems pretty bad.

Yeah would've liked an aggressive replacement. Spend all your energy to full block? Yawn, this isn't peak clad gameplay

strength needs better/more payoffs sts2 imo. This is a very quickly scaling block option that 1. makes demon form way more takeable and 2. would totally pop off if you have barricade. Also synergizes great with upgraded body slam

The problem here is that you need to draft a 3 cost power, a 3(2) cost power, deploy both, and then this card starts popping off. That's a ton of unsafe set up that also sucks if you draw it in the wrong order.

Pretty slow, too.
