Bloodletting Build

Trade HP for explosive turns. Convert self-damage into Energy, Strength, and overwhelming tempo.

Self DamageEnergyTempoRisk

Overview

The Bloodletting build revolves around sacrificing HP to gain powerful advantages like Energy, Strength, and card draw.

Your HP becomes a resource — spend it aggressively to create explosive turns and end fights before enemies can punish you.

Pro Tips

Use Bloodletting only when you can convert the Energy into real impact.

Stack multiple self-damage effects in one turn for explosive scaling.

Rupture is your win condition — protect and enable it.

Damage-triggered Block relics are extremely valuable here.

Always aim for fast kills — long fights are your biggest enemy.
