Theme Upgrade

Main article: Shy Swipes

The first enemy to enter adjacency with Hero each turn will take 3 shred and then 2 damage (instead of 2 shred or 1 damage). The 2 damage does not skip the remaining armor, so an enemy that starts with 4 armor would take 3 shred and 1 damage and an enemy with 5 or more armor would take 4 shred and 0 damage.

Note: to use this ability, it must be selected as a theme upgrade upon hero promotion.
