A warrior who harnesses dark power, dealing massive damage at the cost of their own health.
Characters
Playstyle
Ironclad is the closest STS2 has to a straightforward aggression character — high HP, strong self-sustain through Burning Blood, and a card pool built around Strength scaling. Most games trend toward one of two things: stacking Strength to make every attack hit harder, or building enough Block generation to become a wall that hits back. The ceiling is high but early floors are forgiving, making Ironclad the best character to learn the game's core loop on.
