Strategy
The Peppernut Charm is a truly bizarre Charm that completely changes how the attached card behaves. When it becomes attached to a card, any mention of Spice that appears in the card's abilities becomes Shell, and any mention of Shell becomes Spice. For instance, the Shell Shield's "Apply 4 Shell" would become "Apply 4 Spice." As a result, a Spice or Shell deck that has obtained the Peppernut Charm should keep an eye out for the opposite archetype's cards. For instance, a Shell deck with Chompom would likely not care about the Spice Stones, but if the Spice Stones became a Shell-doubling card then they would fit right in. Likewise, a Spice deck might not be interested in the Nutshell Cake, but if it applied 9 Spice then it would be more appealing.
Like all Charms, the Peppernut Charm modifies the card as it was at the exact moment it becomes attached. Any Spice and Shell abilities gained after it is attached, such as with the Shield Charm and Spice Charm, are not affected. If the card had the Acorn Charm attached to it previously, this will not be replaced by 8 starting Spice, since it is not an effect.
Unique Interactions
- Chompom will deal extra damage equal to their Spice, effectively making Spice twice as potent.
- Firefist will recover any damage they take to their health by gaining that much Shell, doubling their effective health.
- Shelly can cause powerful snowballing by granting Spice to cards that kill enemies. If the Spice is maintained with the Pepper Flag, the deck's offense will become more and more overwhelming as a battle progresses.
- The Heartforge dramatically enhances any healing deck's longevity by granting twice as much Shell, effectively tripling all healing. However, the offensive potential of extra Spice instead may be more worthwhile depending on the deck.
- The Moko Totem will trigger when it has 10 Shell. This may be a unique opportunity to stack high amounts of Spice on it, but it will require a good source of Shell to trigger (or the Spark Charm or Punchfist Charm).
- The Spice Stones will double the target's Shell, granting huge defensive boosts to anything that has a decent amount of Shell to begin with.
- Although the Pepper Flag does mention Spice in its effect, it is not eligible for the Peppernut Charm. Because Shell lasts indefinitely, the effect "all allies retain Shell" is meaningless.
