🤖 Generated with Claude Code


Note

Medium Risk
Large, mostly additive changes to combat/effect logic (new Ironclad effects plus Rage/DoubleTap/Berserk/NoDraw triggers) that can subtly affect turn sequencing and state handling. New tests also include a hardcoded local sys.path injection that could break in CI/environments outside the author’s machine.

Overview
Adds a large set of Ironclad card effect implementations to effects/cards.py, covering Strength/Block manipulation, self-damage and energy gain, card generation/movement, exhaust interactions, conditional damage (e.g., block/strike/Strength scaling), and X-cost/AoE behaviors, plus an IRONCLAD_CARD_EFFECTS mapping and expanded attack-ID detection used for playability checks (e.g., Clash).

Extends registry/powers.py with Ironclad power triggers, including per-turn energy for Berserk, Rage reset + on-attack block gain, DoubleTap marking attacks to replay, and end-of-turn cleanup for NoDraw.

Introduces tests/test_ironclad_cards.py with broad coverage of Ironclad card definitions/effects wiring and basic registry invariants.

PR #3 Code Review: Ironclad Cards - Java Parity Audit

Critical Issues

1. Berserk - Wrong Trigger Hook

  • Python: onEnergyRecharge
  • Java: atStartOfTurn() - BerserkPower.java:39
  • Fix: Change to @power_trigger("atStartOfTurn", power="Berserk")

2. Rupture - Incorrect Trigger Condition

  • Python: source == "card"
  • Java: info.owner == this.owner - RupturePower.java:33
  • Impact: Java triggers on ALL self-damage (including Combust), Python only card HP loss
  • Fix: Check if damage source is player, not just "card" source

3. Limit Break - Doesn't Handle Negative Strength

  • Python: only doubles if current > 0
  • Java: doubles ANY non-zero strength including negative
  • Impact: -3 Strength + Limit Break = -6 in Java, nothing in Python
  • Fix: Remove the if current > 0 check

Medium Issues

  • Spot Weakness: Check specific target's intent, not all enemies
  • Body Slam: Should use damage calculation pipeline (Strength/Weak/Vuln)
  • Corruption: Missing onCardDraw cost modification
  • Brutality: Java adds DrawCardAction THEN LoseHPAction (order matters for Dead Branch)

Rage and DoubleTap power triggers always fail silently

High Severity

The rage_on_attack and double_tap_on_attack functions access ctx.trigger_data.get("card_id", "") to get the card ID, but the trigger is called with {"card": card} where card is a Card object. Since "card_id" is never in trigger_data, card_id will always be an empty string, causing the condition base_id in ALL_CARDS to always be False. Both the Rage (block per attack) and DoubleTap (play attack twice) effects will never activate.

Heavy Blade ignores negative strength penalty

Medium Severity

The strength_multiplier effect only applies extra damage when extra_damage > 0. When the player has negative strength, extra_damage will be negative and the function does nothing. In Slay the Spire, Heavy Blade's strength multiplier applies in both directions - negative strength results in reduced damage (multiplied penalty), which this implementation doesn't handle.

Test file contains hardcoded local machine path

Medium Severity

The test file contains a hardcoded absolute path sys.path.insert(0, '/Users/jackswitzer/Desktop/SlayTheSpireRL') that will only work on one developer's machine. This will cause test failures on CI systems and other developers' environments where this path doesn't exist.

Sentinel card effect never grants energy when exhausted

High Severity

The gain_energy_on_exhaust_2_3 effect for Sentinel only stores a value in ctx.extra_data["sentinel_energy"] but never actually grants the energy. There's no corresponding onExhaust trigger handler that reads this value and calls ctx.gain_energy(). The effect sets up data that is never consumed, making Sentinel's "gain energy when exhausted" ability completely non-functional.

# Mark for auto-play and exhaust

Havoc effect removes card but never plays it

High Severity

The play_top_card effect (Havoc) pops a card from the draw pile and appends it to ctx.state.cards_to_auto_play, but this list is never read or processed anywhere in the codebase. The card is permanently removed from the draw pile but never actually played or exhausted - it simply vanishes. This causes card loss during gameplay.

Fix in Cursor Fix in Web

# Mark card as cost 0 this turn
if not hasattr(ctx.state, 'cost_0_this_turn'):
ctx.state.cost_0_this_turn = []
ctx.state.cost_0_this_turn.append(card_id)

Infernal Blade marks cost-0 but nothing applies it

Medium Severity

The add_random_attack_cost_0 effect (Infernal Blade) adds a random attack to hand and appends its ID to ctx.state.cost_0_this_turn, but this list is never read anywhere in the codebase to actually modify card costs. The card is added to hand at its normal cost instead of costing 0 as intended.

1. Berserk - Change from onEnergyRecharge to atStartOfTurn hook for Java parity
   (Java: BerserkPower.atStartOfTurn grants energy)

2. Rupture - Fix trigger condition to check is_self_damage instead of source=="card"
   (Java: info.owner == this.owner - triggers on ANY self-damage)

3. Limit Break - Allow doubling negative strength
   (Java: doubles any non-zero strength including negative)

4. Body Slam - Add calculate_card_damage() method to apply full damage pipeline
   (Java: uses calculateCardDamage() which applies Strength/Weak/Vuln/Stance)

5. Corruption - Implement onCardDraw (set Skill cost to 0) and onUseCard (exhaust Skills)
   (Java: setCostForTurn(-9) on draw, action.exhaustCard=true on use)

Note: Spot Weakness was verified correct - already checks only target's intent.
