How to beat Inklet

  • Slippery wastes your first hit on each of them, so open with your weakest attack or a multi-hit card, which burns the shield with its first point and kills with the rest.
  • They have 11 to 17 HP, so one real hit after the shield usually finishes one.
  • Three Whirlwinds or Gazes in the same turn add up, and Gaze hits for ten, so cut the number of Inklets as fast as you can rather than blocking.
  • Killing the middle one first removes the one that starts with a multi-hit.

Notes

  • Normal fight in the Overgrowth act, three Inklets, each 11 to 17 HP (12 to 18 at Ascension 8+).
  • Piercing Gaze is hidden from the compendium.
  • The code declares an unused opening random state, and the no-repeat rules on the coin flip never matter because Jab always comes between.
  • In multiplayer Slippery is multiplied by the player count.
