'''Steel''' is one of the six [[ink]] colors in ''[[Disney Lorcana]]''. It is represented by a gray/silver droplet icon. Steel focuses on defense, damage prevention, resilient characters, and dealing direct damage to opposing characters. Steel decks aim to outlast opponents through durability and removal.

== Philosophy and playstyle ==
Steel is the color of strength, protection, and resilience. In gameplay terms, Steel excels at:
* ''Resist'' – Reduces damage taken by characters.
* ''Bodyguard'' – Steel shares Bodyguard with Amber, protecting key characters.
* ''Direct damage'' – Steel has many actions and abilities that deal damage to characters without challenging.
* ''High willpower'' – Steel characters often have high Willpower, surviving multiple hits.
* ''Challenger synergy'' – Some Steel cards gain bonuses when challenging.

Steel is often paired with '''Amber''' for defensive midrange decks, with '''Sapphire''' for ramp‑into‑big‑threats, or with '''Ruby''' for aggressive challenge‑based decks.

== Signature keywords ==
* '''Resist''' – A character with Resist takes reduced damage from any source. Resist +1 means take 1 less damage.
* '''Bodyguard''' – Shared with Amber, forces opponents to challenge this character first when exerted.

== Steel in the metagame ==
Steel has been a versatile color since launch. Steel/Amber “Bodyguard” decks protect key engines, while Steel/Sapphire ramp decks deploy large threats early. Steel also appears in aggressive “challenge” decks paired with Ruby, using direct damage to clear the board.

== Trivia ==
* Steel’s ink droplet icon is a stylized gray drop with a metallic sheen.
* The color’s philosophy is inspired by armor and the emotion of courage.
* Steel has the most direct damage spells of any ink color.
