Flying Sleeves

Flying Sleeves is a Watcher common attack that deals 4 damage twice (8 total) and has the Retain keyword, allowing it to stay in hand between turns if not played. As a multi-hit attack, it can trigger Vulnerable twice, and in Wrath stance the doubled damage means 8 each hit (16 total) for 1 energy, making it one of the most energy-efficient attacks the Watcher has. The Retain keyword adds valuable flexibility since you can hold it without losing it.

Flying Sleeves' Retain ability allows strategic timing: hold it until you enter Wrath for maximum damage, or save it as a guaranteed damage source for a key upcoming turn. As a two-hit attack, it synergizes with relics that trigger on attack hits (like Pen Nib, which grants 100% attack increase on every 10th attack) and with Vulnerable. The upgrade increases damage from 4 per hit to 6 per hit (12 total), making it even stronger per energy. It's a flexible, efficient common attack that rewards planning around stance transitions.
