Strategy & Tips

Wound is a status card that enemies add to your deck. It is unplayable and takes up a draw slot, reducing your hand quality. Unlike Burn and Daze, Wound does not self-exhaust, making it more disruptive than Daze but less damaging than Burn.

Your main mitigation strategies are increasing draw power through Void Dancer, Foresight, and Void Insight to cycle past it. Dark Trade and Sacrificial Pyre can discard Wound from your hand, turning it into fuel for better cards. Void Exchange can also discard Wound for energy.

Building a larger deck reduces the frequency of drawing Wound. Cards with Innate keyword ensure good opening hands despite Wound dilution. Unlike Parasite, Wound can potentially be removed through card-removal events during a run.

Prioritize draw and discard tools when facing enemies that generate Wounds.
