Mantra

Mantra is a counter exclusive to The Watcher. Gaining 10 Mantra stacks during combat automatically triggers entry into the Divinity stance, granting triple Attack damage and 3 bonus Energy. Mantra stacks accumulate across turns and do not reset at the end of each turn. Each time Divinity is entered, the Mantra counter resets to zero.

Mantra is generated by cards like Pray (3 Mantra), Worship (5 Mantra), and Devotion (a Power that generates Mantra each turn). Building Mantra efficiently is the primary goal of Divinity-focused Watcher builds. Since 10 Mantra is required, and most Mantra-generating cards provide 3-5 per play, reaching Divinity typically takes 2-4 cards over one or more turns. The Mantra threshold is fixed at 10 and cannot be reduced, so the pace of accumulation depends entirely on cards and relics available.
