When you replace your starting relic and get a black star...

Double relics, all the way across the screen!

All of the elites. All. Of. Them.

Probably the only time the Black Star is useful.

Well, if you take the time to dig thru old threads you'll realise that the amount of people wondering about how the heck they get DESTROYED by the first elite they encounter after getting a Black Star at first boss (not to say that elites suddenly thin out like crazy too) is not marginal enough to just dismiss it.

And yes, this happened to me all the time. Until I learned to never pick up a Black Star.

the problem is, then you have to enter act II without an energy relic, unless you traded your starter for one. And hunting elites without an energy relic is asking for trouble.

Black Star is fine if the other two relics would wreck your strategy. I usually pick it up because the others would be a problem.

Act 2 elites are quite rough on base energy, and act 3 elites are run-enders in their own right.

Black Star is honestly one of the biggest noobtraps in the game

Just happened to me. Then I found some relics.
