Especially if she's specifically built that way, but even if she's not, it can still work pretty well. Her blocking alone can be pretty epic, so she can be extremely patient during a fight. There's several different viable strategies for her, and one that pops up in a lot of different deck builds is blocking and retaining until you can unleash some single turn devastation. And she only dies like that if you keep your deck small enough to use an infinite loop, or if it's just poorly balanced. What, you mean using infinite loops? Yeah, that's an optimal deck, not a guaranteed one. She dies super super hard if you aren't able to play attacks like crazy for positive block. Patience is definitely not a Watcher trait. You Omniscience for your block scaling card, Foresight, and/or Rushdown, whichever you have the hardest time getting enough of into play. If you have managed to not see Talk to the Hand all run then you block with Mental Fortress instead.

My understanding of Watcher is that you play Talk to the Hand (1 energy, gain 200 block every turn) and immediately win the ascension 20 Heart fight by being able to full block in Wrath if your deck has any functioning card draw. That's an interesting description of Watcher. And the advice that can be given for blocking with Watcher is just too massive for me to really go into in here. Mostly, though, Watcher is about patience, which means blocking until everything is set up and the time is right.

You want the usual stuff, of course, but a way to scale your strength (which can be hard to find with Watcher) and a devastating multi-hit attack (like Tantrum or Ragnarok or Expunger) while in the Divinity stance can also really help. With Watcher, having divinity against the heart can be a big help. Originally posted by Mr Scruff:there isn't much watcher guide i can find
