    {% trans trimmed %}
    The Path of Caine arrived with the Sabbat set in October 2025, so these
    figures are drawn from a small, recent sample and will shift as the cards
    see more play.
    {% endtrans %}

<div class="insert tip">
    <p>
        {% trans trimmed qawiyya_caine=link("/archetypes/qawiyya-caine") %}
        The Path of Caine is the game's rush path. Rather than bleed, its cards
        hunt the prey's minions down. Its first competitive home is the {{ qawiyya_caine }}
        archetype.
        {% endtrans %}

{% call layout.card_column("Algirdas, The Solar Prophet", decks=1, copies="1") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
A seven-capacity Banu Haqim {{ banu_haqim }} <em>bishop</em> backing the path's
combat pumps with superior {{ ANI }}{{ CEL }}{{ THA }}. His strike tax drains a
blood from younger opponents each time they answer a fight, blunting defenses.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Kalyani, Agent of Doom", decks=1, copies="1") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
The same superior {{ ANI }}{{ CEL }}{{ THA }} as her Banu Haqim {{ banu_haqim }}
clanmate, with {{ obf }} on top and a standing +1 strength that sharpens every hand
strike. A capable seven-capacity <em>bishop</em>.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Abuse of Power", decks=4, copies="1-3") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
The path's signature action and its entire thesis: a stealthy rush that bills
the opposing Methuselah one pool whenever the fight ends with the opponent down.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Twisted Bloodhound", decks=4, copies="1-3") %}
{% trans trimmed abuse_of_power=card("Abuse of Power") %}
A one-pool ghoul that hands its employer a rush on demand, the cheapest way to
keep the prey's minions in combat turn after turn.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Rage of Apedemak", decks=3, copies="2-7") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
The path's main damage pump, open to Animalism {{ ani }} or Potence {{ pot }}
crypts. The extra hand size cannot be overestimated: it is a huge cycling effect, particularly handy in a combat deck.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Sentry Signal", decks=2, copies="1-2") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
Defence for a crypt that could otherwise lack some: both the unlock and bleed reduction effects are interesting.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Soulgrinder", decks=2, copies="2-6") %}
{% trans trimmed %}
A heavy strike for Potence {{ pot }} or Blood Sorcery {{ tha }} vampires. The +2
hand strike is already strong, but ignoring Fortitude {{ for }} prevention can be key depending on the meta.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}

{% call layout.card_column("Wall of Filth", decks=2, copies="2-5") %}
{% trans trimmed rego_motum=card("Rego Motum") %}
Great prevention for Protean {{ pro }}, though Blood Sorcery {{ tha }} already has {{ rego_motum }}.
It also avoids jam easily as long as it is not played in too high numbers.
{% endtrans %}
{% endcall %}
