Charms are equippable trinkets that can change the behavior of a single card for the remainder of a run. They can be applied from one's Inventory between battles. It's possible to open the inventory and attach a Charm mid-battle, but that Charm's effect will not count during that battle, only the following ones.

Obtaining Charms

Charms can be obtained through various events:

Additionally, there are many circumstances in which Charms can appear on cards pre-equipped:

  • Along with the 3 offered Charms, the Charm Merchant sells 1 card which comes equipped with a random valid Charm.
  • While the Frosthand Bell is active, 2 random non-boss enemies during boss battles are equipped with a  Frosthand Charm.
  • While the Icebourne Bell is active, 2 random non-boss enemies in each of the 4th through 6th combats are equipped with a  Battle Charm.
  • While the Frostbourne Bell is active, 2 random non-boss enemies in each of the 7th through 9th combats are equipped with a  Sun Charm.
  • While the Dread Bell is active, 2 random non-boss enemies in each combat are equipped with a random Charm (from a limited pool).
  • While the Titan Bell is active, all minibosses and bosses are equipped with a Charm (from a limited pool exclusive to each one).
  • While the Gloom Bell is active, some card rewards will come with a Cursed Charm.

Charm Behaviors

When a Charm becomes attached to a card, it modifies the card immediately and cannot be removed or undone. A single card can have a up to 3 Charms at once. Charms do not persist between runs, except for the injured Companion event, in which a Companion from the previous failed run is found injured with all their Charms still intact.

The effect of a Charm is immediately applied to the card as it is at that point in time, and it will not be reapplied or recalculated when future modifications are applied. This makes the order that Charms are attached to a card very important. For instance, attaching the  Snowball Charm to a Scrappy Sword adds the effect "Apply 1   Snow". Attaching the  Durian Charm after this will cause it to lose the Snow effect and gain 4   attack. If these Charms are applied in the reverse order (Durian Charm then Snowball Charm), the Scrappy Sword will deal 6 damage but still have the Snow effect.

Additionally, Charms cannot be attached to cards if they would modify a characteristic that the card does not have, with some exceptions. For instance, a Charm that increases the card's   Scrap can only be attached to a Clunker card, and a Charm that increases the card's   health can only be attached to Companions and Leaders. The exception to this rule are cards that don't have an   attack icon, such as Bonnie. These cards do not attack when they trigger, but by applying certain Charms to such cards, they gain an attack stat of 0. In this case, the card will become able to attack when triggering. The Charms that cause this to happen are:

Charms also cannot be attached to a card if they would grant a redundant keyword, or one that is incompatible with a keyword or ability the card has. For instance, the  Pomegranate Charm cannot be attached to any card that already has Barrage or Aimless, since Barrage is redundant and Aimless is incompatible with Barrage and Longshot. Similarly, the  Cake Charm cannot be attached to a card that already has Consume.

Some Charms are exclusive to specific Tribes, while others are available no matter what. The exclusive Charms are usually related to Tribe-specific mechanics.

Cursed Charms

Cursed Charms are primarily found randomly attached to new cards when the Gloom Bell is active. They have negative effects on the card and also count towards the card's Charm limit, so a card that comes with a Cursed Charm attached can only have 2 new Charms attached.
