Inscryption Item Guide

Master every usable item to gain the edge in Leshy's card game.

Squirrel Totem Bottle

  • 1The Squirrel Bottle gives you a free Squirrel card that can be played without any cost.
  • 2Squirrels are primarily used as sacrifice fodder to play blood-cost cards on the first turn.
  • 3Having a Squirrel Bottle in your inventory guarantees a turn-one sacrifice play every battle.
  • 4Combine with cards that benefit from sacrifice triggers for additional value beyond just blood generation.
  • 5The Squirrel Bottle is a single-use item per battle -- once used, it cannot be activated again that fight.

Scissors

  • 1Scissors instantly destroy one card on the opponent's side of the board when activated.
  • 2Save Scissors for high-priority threats like buffed cards or cards with dangerous sigil combinations.
  • 3Using Scissors does not count as a kill, so it will not trigger death-related sigils on the target.
  • 4Scissors are consumed after use -- choose your target carefully as you only get one activation.
  • 5Against bosses, Scissors can remove their most dangerous card to break their strategy entirely.

Magnifying Glass

  • 1The Magnifying Glass reveals hidden information about face-down cards on the opponent's side.
  • 2Knowing what the opponent has queued lets you make informed placement and sacrifice decisions.
  • 3Use it early in a battle to plan your strategy around the opponent's upcoming plays.
  • 4Particularly useful against Leshy, who often plays face-down cards that can surprise unprepared players.
  • 5The information gained is permanent for that battle -- the revealed cards remain visible after use.

Smoke (Stinking Card)

  • 1The Smoke item places a Stinkbug card on the opponent's side that blocks their lane.
  • 2The placed Stinkbug has the Stinky sigil, debuffing adjacent enemy cards by reducing their power.
  • 3Strategic placement can cripple the opponent's strongest lane while blocking damage output.
  • 4Use Smoke when the opponent has powerful cards adjacent to an empty slot for maximum disruption.
  • 5This item is especially effective in the early game before opponents deploy multiple threats.

Stim Serum

  • 1The Hare Stim doubles the power of one of your cards on the board for the rest of the battle.
  • 2Apply Stim Serum to a card with Bifurcated Strike or multi-lane attacks to multiply the effect.
  • 3Timing is critical -- use it on a card that will survive long enough to take advantage of the boost.
  • 4Cards with Airborne and Stim Serum applied become devastating direct damage threats to the opponent.
  • 5Save Stim Serum for boss fights or difficult battles where a single powered-up card can turn the tide.
