Weaken
"Reduces the Health of all enemy Monsters."
Can be Cleansed
Notable Rulesets
| Top 3 Rulesets | Bottom 3 Rulesets |
| Armored Up - Bypass the armor and reduce the health stat of your opponent's monsters directly with Weaken. | Counterspell/Fire & Regret - Ensure that your ranged or magic attack monsters can take what they dish out! |
| Equalizer - Though all monsters start with the same max health, you can reduce it with Weaken. | Heavy Hitters - Though weaken is always beneficial, consider whether putting in monsters with stun would be of more use. |
| Little League - Only monsters and summoners with a mana cost of 4 or less can be used. Subtract one from the already low health of these monsters. | Earthquake - Consider the health of your weakening monsters and whether they can fly. If they only last a round or two, your opponent will regain health upon their death. |
Notable Abilities
| Top 3 Abilities | Bottom 3 Abilities |

| Poison - allow poison to further attack your opponent's health. | Snipe - Be sure that your monster with weaken is well protected, or you risk them being taken out in the first round by an enemy with snipe! |
