Molten Egg

Rare

Whenever you add an Attack card to your Deck, Upgrade it.

Every Attack that enters your deck arrives upgraded, as long as it can be upgraded and is not already: card rewards after combat show the Attacks upgraded, the merchant's Attacks are upgraded on the shelf, and Attacks added by events or relics are swapped for the upgraded copy. It is not offered from the Act 3 chest onward (floor 41 solo, 38 in multiplayer).
