Tranquility

Tranquility is a Watcher common skill that enters Calm stance and has the Retain keyword for 1 energy. Calm stance generates 2 energy when you leave it, making Tranquility the foundation of the Calm-cycling engine. With Retain, you can hold Tranquility without losing it, giving you full control over when to enter Calm. By entering Calm at the optimal moment — right before playing stance-exit cards like Empty Body or Empty Fist — you maximize the 2 energy you receive.

Tranquility is essential in Calm-cycling Watcher builds. The game plan revolves around: enter Calm with Tranquility, play Halt for free Calm Block, then exit Calm via Empty Body or Empty Fist for 2 energy, netting positive energy each turn. The Retain keyword makes this reliable because you can draw Tranquility and wait for the right moment in your turn sequence. Upgraded, Tranquility loses its energy cost, becoming a free Calm entry — a hugely significant upgrade that makes each Calm cycle generate net 2 energy from a 0-cost investment.
