Acquisition

The Naked Gnome has a chance to appear in the first battle of a run (either The Pengoons or The Snowbo Squad). If the battle is won with the Naked Gnome still alive, it will offer to join the player after the battle.

Strategy

The Naked Gnome has basically no defensive or offensive capabilities, with just a single point of health and attack. However, its rare Counter of just 2 makes it attack very quickly. With the right Charms, the Naked Gnome can become a genuinely powerful card. The Sun Charm in particular is incredibly potent, allowing the Naked Gnome to attack every single turn.

Trivia

• The allied Naked Gnome is one of only two player cards that have no text box at all (the other being Foxee), as even cards with no effects like Woodhead and Junk have flavor text.
• Similarly, the enemy Naked Gnome is the only enemy card with flavor text.
  • It also shares this flavor text with Junk.
• The enemy Naked Gnome is the only enemy with no stats besides health, and one of only two cards in the game with only health (the other being Egg).
