Nunchaku

Uncommon

Every time you play 10 Attacks, gain .

Counts Attacks played: hands you 1 Energy every time the count reaches a multiple of 10.
A card count: Twin Strike is one Attack, a Shiv is one Attack.
Carries over: the counter is stored with your save and is not reset when a combat ends, so a fight that finishes with the dial on 7 leaves you three Attacks from Energy in the next one.
The relic: lights up at 9 to show the next Attack pays out.
