💡 How to Use
Royalties is a pure economic investment card that should be played early in a run to maximize the total gold accumulated across all combats. It is most effective when the player has a stable defensive core, allowing them to spend energy on non-combat scaling without risking health.
⚡ Synergies
Membership Card
The flat 30 gold gain per combat is significantly more impactful when shop prices are halved. This combination ensures the player can afford every high-tier relic and colorless card offered at the Merchant.
The Courier
Extra gold from Royalties is wasted if the shop runs out of useful items. The Courier keeps the shop inventory full, allowing the player to spend their accumulated wealth on a continuous stream of power upgrades.
Hand of Greed
Combining these two cards creates an aggressive economic engine that prioritizes wealth over immediate tactical advantages. This allows the player to pivot into any build by purchasing the necessary components rather than relying on standard card rewards.
Maw Bank
Royalties adds a steady stream of income that complements the passive gold gain from this relic. Together, they allow the player to reach the high gold thresholds required to make the most of late-game shops or specific events.
