Defend 4

How to use

• Take this when your deck needs immediate consistency.
• Pair with matching synergies instead of forcing it blindly.
• Prioritize draw and energy support before overcommitting.
• Pivot out if elite route pressure outscales current setup.

Common mistakes

• Can underperform in low-draw decks.
• May be weaker if scaling arrives too late.
• Risky when route demands immediate burst output.

When it spikes

Defend 4 usually spikes when your deck has enough draw + energy support and your route gives room to scale before major elites/bosses.
