If a card with a Crown cannot be played for some reason (most commonly encountered with cards that have [[Stats#Keywords|Recycle]]), the player is forced to hit the Redraw Bell and discard all the unplayable cards. If a card is created by a card with a Crown (such as by a card with [[Stats#Keywords|Trash]]), that created card will ''not'' be playable as though it had a Crown. Attempting to play such a card displays a "Play Crowned cards first!" message. Additionally, any created cards will take up space in the player's starting hand, causing them to draw fewer cards; for instance, using the [[Bom Barrel]] and adding 4 [[Junk]] to the hand means that only 2 new cards will be drawn (as the hand size is 6). | If a card with a Crown cannot be played for some reason (most commonly encountered with cards that have [[Stats#Keywords|Recycle]]), the player is forced to hit the Redraw Bell and discard all the unplayable cards.

Another Crown may be purchased for another 75 Blings if the player encounters the Woolly Snail again later in the run. If the [[Blingsnail Bell]] is active, Crowns cost 80 Blings each, and each time a Crown is purchased the next Crown will cost 10 more Blings. Additionally, a Crown will always be offered after defeating the first boss. | ||

Cursed Crowns are special Crowns that appear while the [[Tyrant Bell]] is active, in which case they have a chance to replace regular Crowns whenever they are offered. Cursed Crowns ''cannot'' be removed from a card, and reduce the health and attack of the card by 1 each, if such stat changes are possible. Since they cannot be removed, Cursed Crowns are best applied to [[Items]] that are generically useful in any fight, rather than fight-specific counterpicks. | Cursed Crowns are special Crowns that appear while the [[Tyrant Bell]] is active, in which case they have a chance to replace regular Crowns whenever they are offered.

Since they cannot be removed, Cursed Crowns are best applied to [[Items]] that are generically useful in any fight, rather than fight-specific counterpicks. It's also possible to leverage the attack loss beneficially, as some Items hit allied cards for a benefit (e.g. [[Peppereaper]] and [[Shellbo]]). | ||

Crowns are exceptionally useful in guaranteeing a card is deployed (or used, if an Item). It also saves a turn that would be needed to play the card. With multiple Crowns, players can even add Crowns to Items to buff other cards before the first turn of the battle. This tactic is helpful in avoiding relying on drawing the cards in the right order and taking turns deploying and using them. | Crowns are exceptionally useful in guaranteeing a card is deployed (or used, if an Item).

Duplicating a card with a Crown at the [[Shade Sculptor]] will display a Crown on the copied card in the animation, but the new card will ''not'' have a Crown. Additionally, if the copied card had a Cursed Crown, the copy will still have its stats lowered even though it does not have a Cursed Crown on it. | |||
The {{Charm|Noomlin Charm}} cannot be attached to any card that has a Crown, since these cards are already played for free at the start of a battle. However, a Crown can still be placed on any card with [[Stats#Keywords|Noomlin]], so it is possible to simply remove the card's Crown, attach the Noomlin Charm, and put the Crown back. This also means that a card that receives a Cursed Crown is ineligible for the Noomlin Charm for the rest of the run. | |||
[[Krono]] has a special effect that grants 1 {{Stat|Frenzy}} to all allied cards that do ''not'' have Crowns. | |||
