War Paint

Common

Upon pickup, Upgrade 2 random Skills.

On pickup it shuffles every Skill in your deck that can still be upgraded and upgrades the first 2. Defends are Skills and sit in that pool. If only one Skill qualifies, that one is upgraded; if none, nothing happens. Because the effect resolves on pickup, the relic cannot be traded to a partner.

When to take War Paint

Buy it late in Act 1 or Act 2, after the Skills that matter are in your deck, since early Defends dilute the two random upgrades it gives.
