Kusarigama
Uncommon
Every time you play 3 Attacks in a single turn, deal 6 damage to a random enemy.
It counts your Attacks each turn, resetting at the end of your turn and at combat start. Every third Attack in a turn deals 6 damage to one random enemy that can be hit. The damage is unpowered, so Strength does not add to it. Nothing happens if there is no legal target. Unlocked with the Ancients epoch.

When to take Kusarigama
A cheap bonus for Attack-spam decks, most useful in Act 1 and 2 where 6 damage still kills things. Pick it over nothing, not over a relic that changes how your deck works.
