Corrupted Enchantment adds 50% attack damage but costs 3 HP every time you play the card. It is strongest on high-damage finishers you play once or twice per combat (, ) and weakest on high-frequency cards like Shivs where the HP drain compounds fast.
Spirit Enchantment turns an Exhaust card into a Strength generator. The Chinese community calls this the most explosive Ironclad build in early access: a 0-cost card with Spirit Enchantment gains +2 Strength per play, and + + let you cycle it every turn for free.
Vulnerability Enchantment adds Vulnerable application to an attack at the cost of increased energy. It is best on opening-turn attacks in Strength builds because Vulnerable multiplies all subsequent hits in the same combat.
Corrupted: +50% damage, −3 HP per play. Best on finishers, deadly on spam cards.
Spirit: Exhaust → Strength generation. Core of the Ironclad 灵体附魔流 build.
Vulnerability: adds Vulnerable, costs extra energy. Best on turn-1 openers.
These principles are consistent across English, Chinese, and Japanese community guides. They hold regardless of which specific Enchantment you are evaluating.
Match your build direction — Enchant cards that align with what your deck already does. A Corrupted Enchantment on a card your Strength build barely plays is wasted.
Never blind-enchant — Read the full trade-off. Enchantments are not free upgrades. The cost side matters as much as the benefit side.
Avoid HP-drain on high-frequency cards — Corrupted on a card you play 5 times per combat is 15 HP per fight. That kills runs.
Consider combat duration — Short fights make HP costs tolerable. Long boss fights make them lethal. Enchant accordingly.
Commit only when ready — Enchantments are irreversible. If your build direction is unclear, skip the Enchantment event and come back stronger.
This is the highest-profile Enchantment build in the Chinese community. The core is a 0-cost Exhaust card with Spirit Enchantment that generates +2 Strength every time it is played. makes all Skills cost 0 energy but Exhaust after use. draws a card whenever you Exhaust. gives Block whenever you Exhaust.
The result is a free Strength engine: every turn, cycle through your Skills at 0 cost, gain Strength, draw cards, and gain Block. Finish with (Block → damage) or (0 cost, 17 AoE damage).
The build requires three specific cards (, , ) plus the Spirit Enchantment. That makes it a high-ceiling, medium-consistency strategy: devastating when assembled, but dependent on finding the right pieces.
The simpler Enchantment build: put Corrupted on your primary finisher ( or a multi-hit attack) and scale Strength with plus current-card-pool support like and . At 20+ Strength, the 3 HP cost per play is irrelevant because the fight ends in one or two swings.
The key rule is to Enchant only your finisher card, never your cycling or support cards. A Corrupted costs 3 HP every time you draw through your deck, which adds up across a long run.
