Hypoesthesia is the medical term for numbness, which involves a loss of sensation.
The objective of this deck is to take attacks with minimum damages while completing your labors!
Cut a head from Lernean Hydra, no head will grow back! (Defeat the Hydra)
Excelsior + Pinned Down + Under Control is a massive combo for this labor!
While you defend, you can deal up to 8 damage in one turn (even 9 or more if you have multiple retaliates thanks to Gauntlets of Hercules and/or Shield of Perseus)
- If the villain attacks, you can defend and deal 2 damage to your minion with Excelsior since you can deal damage to ANY enemy with this sword!
- Then, when your minion attacks, if he has Pinned Down & Under Control, you can defend with a basic defend or Herc's Helm to deal 4 damage thanks to Under Control and another 2 with Excelsior!
And if you choose Lernean Hydra as your minion, it bypasses his forced response since you don't attack! So it will not regenerate or you keep your physical resource!
Hercules doesn't feel anything! (Protect Humanity)
Judoka Skill, Northstar, Preemptive Strike & Defiance can greatly reduce villain's damage while attacking! Here are some combos that makes you defend without exhausting:
- Judoka Skill + Northstar + Herc's Helm makes you defend against a potentially 0 ATK!
-
Judoka Skill + Defiance does the same as the previous example.
-
Northstar + Herc's Helm, you take the villain's ATK and reduce it by one.
-
Even with just Defiance or Preemptive Strike, you can still defend and just take villain's basic ATK.
Jocasta will help you grabbing the protection event you need. And if you cannot change form and heal, you still have Hercules' basic ATK with the Golden Mace & Prince of Power against a minion or Second Wind if needed. (Against Ultron, the combo Golden Mace & Prince of Power is just incredible!)
Ain't nobody got time for that! (Embody Pathos)
With Limitless Stamina, Son of Zeus & What Doesn't Kill Me, you got many occasions to ready up and use Hercules' ATK stat to remove threat on the side scheme!
And if you cannot deal with the side scheme quickly, Vivian can blank it for you!
Then, when you complete a labor, if you decide to change form, Hidden Base will give you a tough status card. So the next villain's attack will be blocked by it!
As for the other cards:
-
Professor X will help you with the THW and the confuse if you need to change to AE form
-
Brother Voodoo and Yellow Jacket will help you grabbing respectively an event or an upgrade. They will also help you with threat management!
Any feedback will be appreciated! Thanks!

Since damage coming from upgrades come from the hero, I thought it worked! Then it would also means that retaliate doesn't work? It is strange! |
Feb 23, 2026Yeah it's very weird and I'm not sure if they intended it that way or not! |

Feb 23, 2026It is a shame for sure - luckily there are other ways to deal with that labour and then you can use the other cards to help control the field while you do that :) |
Cool idea for a deck! Now I'm not sure on the exact ruling but for Defeat the Hydra the wording states that the minion can only take damage from Hercules' attacks so I'm not sure you can use Excelsior and Under Control as they're not "attack" traited.
It was something I saw in a video based on the wording on the card. However, FFG won't know and it's an awesome idea and seems really thematic.
