Spire Spear

Description

Spire Spear is the offensive half of the Act IV elite pair with Spire Shield. It has more HP, focuses on damage and debuffing (Burn insertion, Strength buffs), and its multi‑hit attacks become very dangerous, especially when Shield is boosting its defenses at the same time.

Abilities

Burn Strike

•

Deals 5 × 2 damage. Adds 2 Burns to your discard pile.

•

At Ascension 3+, deals 6 × 2 damage.

Piercer

•

All enemies (Shield + Spear) gain +2 Strength.

Skewer

•

Deals 10 × 3 damage.

•

Deals 10 × 4 damage (Ascension 3+).

Tips

• Be ready for harsh turn‑two damage, especially from Burn Strike and Burns slipping into your discard/draw piles.
• Reducing Strength or using Weak is useful, since Spear periodically buffs itself and Shield.
• Burst them down quickly or control their buffs, because once Spear builds enough power the fight becomes much harder.

Trivia

Spire Spear has Artifact 1 (increasing at higher Ascensions). It has a pattern of Burn Strike → Skewer → (Burn Strike or Piercer) alternating, making its damage reliable and scaling. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
