What to you go for in shops?

[Mehfisto]

What's your priority when shopping?
I usually just go immediately for the remove card option and I rarely have money for something else. Unless there's a really helpful relic or an early apotheosis

These days I've gained newfound respect for relics that always do something. Turns out bronze scales provide a lot of damage over the course of a run.

Card removal tends to come next unless I see a card I really want, even if not on sale.

Potions if I have leftover gold and won't be seeing another shop or if i really need dex to stall an act 2 boss.

>would losing a card provide an infinite? Remove unless on act 3 with time eater as boss

>can I afford a high return relic that is on offer? Buy

>is there a card that I feel my deck needs right now? Buy

>remove in almost all other situations

I very rarely buy pots. Probably need to learn to do more of that

I used to treat them as card removal stops, but lately I've been more appreciative of the relics, so I try not to hit shops without 300 gold these days. If there's no good relic, I generally just dump a Strike and aim to hit another shop as soon as possible.

Potions aren't really worth the cash unless you're at the point where you need to just dump your gold. I value potions at around 10 HP a piece, and 50 gold can go a lot further to saving more HP if you put it towards card removal, much less a decent relic.

Dex (and for some builds Str) potions are actually really good for the end boss of Act III. So even though I never remember to do so, buying some potions from the last Act III shop would be wise.

[Mehfisto]

I really like potions, I also find very useful alchemyze (silent) and the pot relic. Too bad the only really useful ones are dex/str and heal.. The others do help but are not really gamechanging.

I should really look for those and save them for bosses though

[Behomacotle]

depends on what i see, if there's something like Panache or Apotheosis in there, i'll happily sit on a curse for a bit longer, but relics are always a good buy

Yup; I went through the same progression.

[Muskie-ppds]

i always get potions and apotheosis if i can, spend all of your money at the first shop you can get to and buy potions

remove card is the default option

some common relic like lantern/gambling/bag are well worth 150 gold

some core relic like kunai

some neutral card when you go for infinity

apotheosis

good on-sale card

desparate needed card

regen potion when you low on health, fire potion when you on facing slime boss, etc.

[Filthy Casual]

Card Removal is the best service. Basic Strikes and defends are bunk and you want them out of your deck.

[Ghostlight]

Totally situational
