Egg has two purposes: tank damage and summon [[Dregg]]. While Dregg is a heavy-hitting card to deploy, having Egg as a high-health tank in the front line can be just as useful. The key to Egg is knowing when to summon Dregg and switch from tanking damage to dealing damage.

Egg is a Companion that the player can bring along on a run. It is exclusive to the Shademancers Tribe.

Strategy

Egg is a truly unique Companion that has no attack or Counter, just health. There is no way to buff Egg that allows it to attack. It instead has the dual purpose of tanking hits and summoning Dregg when destroyed. Dregg is a powerful Shade in its own right, but Egg's high health still makes it a useful defense. The key to maximizing Egg's potential is summoning Dregg at the proper time, pivoting from defense to offense.

Egg's complete lack of stats outside of health means that it is particularly good at taking hits that would inflict debuffs like Snow, Frost, or Haze, since they will have no effect on it. It also makes most Charms useless for it, although the Lamb Charm is especially powerful for Egg and makes Dregg a force to be reckoned with.

Since Egg will likely be regularly destroyed, having the Bell of Death active will cause it to spend a lot of time injured. If it is enabled, expect Egg to start most battles at half health.
