Roibos is a Companion that the player can bring along on a run.

Strategy

Roibos occupies a similar role as Companions like   Fungun,   Shen, and   Biji but buffs another card when hit, instead of themself. Leveraging Roibos's   attack buff requires some planning, and the Leader's base attack and effects can single-handedly dictate Roibos's effectiveness. If the Leader has good attack and an ability like Barrage, the player must avoid having cards on the field with lower attack, or else they will get buffed first. On the other hand, if the Leader's attack is low and there is a Companion worth buffing, the Leader will get buffed first. As such, Roibos is most effective when the intended card to buff has significantly lower attack than the rest of the deck's Companions. Luckily, some strong targets such as   Foxee,   Tiny Tyko, and   Jumbo have very low attack to begin with, so they can quickly accumulate attack. When attempting to buff a specific card, such as one with   Frenzy or Barrage, have as few other cards with low attack stats on the field so that Roibos's buffs don't get spread thin across multiple cards.

Roibos's buff will only affect allies that have attack stats. Cards with no attack stat, such as   Woodhead, will be completely ignored by Roibos's effect, so the player can have many cards with no attack on the field without Roibos wasting attack buffs on them.

Remember that an "ally" always refers to a separate card, so a card that interacts with its allies will never interact with itself in that way. Thus, Roibos will never gain attack by their own effect and will always give attack to other cards.
