Shuriken

Shuriken is an uncommon relic that grants 1 Strength every time you play 3 Attack cards in a single turn. It is the offensive counterpart to Kunai (which gives Dexterity) and works with the same threshold: playing 3 attacks in a single turn triggers the bonus, and the counter resets each turn.

Shuriken rewards aggressive, attack-heavy turns with compounding Strength increases. In a deck that regularly plays 4 to 6 attacks per turn, Shuriken can accumulate multiple Strength stacks per combat, each of which increases all subsequent attack damage. It is most powerful in multi-strike builds on the Ironclad or Shiv-based Silent decks. Shuriken, Kunai, and Ornamental Fan form a powerful trio for attack-heavy builds, providing Strength, Dexterity, and Block respectively from the same playstyle. The Strength gained is permanent for the rest of the combat.
