Skill Potion

CommonSharedDrink
Choose 1 of 3 random Skill cards to add into your Hand. It's free to play this turn.
  • Offers 3 different Skill cards from your character's unlocked pool. Pick 1 or skip.
  • The card lands in your hand costing 0 Energy and 0 Stars until you play it or the turn ends, and it is gone from your run afterward.
  • Only your own character's Skills appear, never colorless ones, and the three are always distinct.
  • The roll comes from the combat card generation stream, so it is independent of card rewards.

When to take Skill Potion

Hold it as a flexible answer, a free Block card on a bad turn or a free Deathbringer or Glacier when you need that effect. Drink it before committing Energy.
