About Flittering Spike (3)

Flittering Spike (3), action - attack, designed by None first released in Jun, 2026 in the set Omens of the Third Age.

Flittering Spike (red) is best suited for aggressive Ninja decks—especially heroes like **Katsu** or **Fai**—that naturally play **instants during the combat chain** (e.g., Razor Reflex, Art of War, or other attack reactions played as instants), since it rewards that sequencing with extra power and provides a **Lightning Flow** token for additional go‑wide pressure and synergy; however, because it costs 1 resource and only reaches strong breakpoints conditionally, it competes with more efficient 0‑cost red attacks like **Snatch**, **Ravenous Rabble**, or class staples such as **Head Jab** or **Scar for a Scar**, which often provide more consistent value without requiring setup, making Flittering Spike more of a synergy or budget inclusion rather than a top‑tier staple—playable in specific instant-heavy builds, but generally outclassed in optimized competitive lists.
