Effect Description Notes

Descend Move down a floor and to the back of that floor. Can't descend to a frozen floor.
Reform Return a defeated friendly unit to your hand. Enhance with Burnout 1, +5Attack, +5Health, and 0Ember. All stat changes carry over, but status effects added during the fight such as Rage or Multistrike do not, unless they are printed on the card.
Sacrifice Kill a friendly unit (of the required type in order) to play this card.
