Question about the "olive branch"

[Sylverone]

Taking the olive branch doesn't give you anything, right? I ask because it's colored the same as the teeth, so I wondered if it gave you something for surviving all of the cards in the encounter.

If not, it seems that continuing to play for the overkill teeth would be better almost every time.

You get nothing but the victory, so yes, as long as you are in a position to be able to it is often better to just finish out the match and get your overkill. There are occasions where you might want to accept the surrender but normally thats a case of Leshy still having something like a bear, moose, or shark on the board thats hard hitting and hard to kill and might be able to actually win if you haven't gotten good draws that match.

It's almost always better to go for overkill, yes. Although if you're in a scenario where, like, you're dealing 3 damage each turn and the enemy card is dealing 2, you're better off taking the surrender.

As general noob-level commentary, I've figured out that it's best to deal with the threats, then "tiptoe" up to the edge of winning so you can play your strangest cards on the last turn. I've managed to get two golden fleeces at once three times now (in act one). I don't know how significant that is, but at least I know I'm learning so far. :)

Golden pelts do get you rare cards from the trader, though the trader only has 4 options for rares anytime you visit so the absolute max golden pelts you want to carry at any point is 5 (and that's if you are planning to use the 5th in, a different way. Being vague so I don't spoil the fun of discovering it yourself). Too many pelts in your deck and you may struggle to pull cards you can use for anything other than defense though, which i why there is a max to what you'd want to carry even if you could carry more than that max.

Okay, thanks! Lol, at first, since the pelts felt "precious" I was afraid to use them in battle. My instinct told me that they might be destroyed when they were damaged to zero, making them a challenge item you had to keep safe while they disrupted your deck.

I was almost disappointed, lol, but on the other hand they make an interesting tool.

Nope, although I think I had the same misconception when I first started playing. Pelts do clog up your deck, but the small return they provide is that they serve as free-to-place damage blockers while you draw for something else. Provided you aren't going against birds, anyway.

Yeah, I realized quickly (thankfully not due to catastrophic error) that ending up with pelts stuck in front of flyers could be a problem in the absence of a diagonal attack card.

I only accept it in Kaycee's Mod, mainly because I avoid getting pelts
