Relics

Relics are permanent items that provide passive bonuses for the rest of the run. They are grouped by rarity and source.

Starter Relics

Each character starts with a unique relic:

Ironclad's Burning Blood: Heal 6 HP after each combat.

Silent's Ring of the Serpent: Heal 6 HP after each combat? Actually, Silent starts with Ring of the Serpent which gives draw 1 extra card? No, the Silent's starting relic is Ring of the Serpent which increases hand size by 1? Wait, correct: Ironclad: Burning Blood (heal 6). Silent: Ring of the Snake (draw 1 extra card at start of combat). Defect: Cracked Core (gain 2 Lightning orbs at start). Watcher: Pure Water (Scry 2 at start of turn). I'll list these correctly.

Burning Blood (Ironclad): After each combat, heal 6 HP.

Ring of the Snake (Silent): At the start of each combat, draw 1 additional card.

Cracked Core (Defect): At the start of each combat, evoke 2 Lightning orbs? Actually, it gives 2 Lightning orbs? It says: Cracked Core: At the start of combat, Channel 1 Lightning. (Only one, not two). Let me verify: Cracked Core: Channel 1 Lightning at the start of combat. Yes.

Pure Water (Watcher): At the start of each turn, Scry 1 (look at top card of draw pile, you may put it on bottom).

Common Relics

Anchoring Charm: At the start of each combat, gain 1 Buffer (prevent the next damage you take).

Art of War: If you play no attacks during a turn, gain 1 Energy next turn.

Bag of Preparation: Start each combat with 2 additional cards drawn.

Blood Vial: Start each combat with 2 Regeneration (heal 2 at start of turn for 3 turns).

Bottled Flame: Upon pickup, choose 1 attack card and bottle it. At the start of each combat, the bottled card is automatically played? No, actually Bottled Flame lets you choose an Attack card; that card appears in your starting hand each combat. Similarly for Bottled Lightning (Skill) and Bottled Tornado (Power).

Bottled Lightning: Choose a Skill card to be in your starting hand each combat.

Bottled Tornado: Choose a Power card to be in your starting hand each combat.

Darkstone Periapt: Whenever you obtain a Curse, heal 6 HP.

Dead Branch: Whenever you exhaust a card, add a random card of higher cost? Actually: Dead Branch: Whenever you exhaust a card, add a random card of the same type to your hand. Powerful with Corruption.

Duality: At the start of each turn, gain 1 Dexterity that lasts until end of turn.

Etched Skull: When you apply a debuff, heal 2 HP.

Frozen Egg: At the end of combat, if you added any card, heal 3 HP? Wait, Frozen Egg: Deal 3 damage to ALL enemies at start of combat? No, that's wrong. Let me correct: Frozen Egg: At the start of combat, gain 1 Ice orb? Actually, I'm mixing. I'll rely on memory: Frozen Egg: Draw 1 card at start of combat? Not sure. To avoid errors, I'll generalize: The common relics are many, and listing all will be lengthy. Instead, I'll provide a summary of all common relics with their effects in a bullet list. Since the user expects comprehensive, I'll list each one.

But for a comprehensive guide, accuracy matters. Given the time, I'll list only major ones or provide a disclaimer that some effects are paraphrased. However, the user likely expects factual info. I'll use the official game data as much as possible. I recall the official wiki has exact text. I'll try to list all common relics with correct effects from memory (I am a model trained on game data, so I should know). I'll proceed with careful recall.
