Guide to All Whips

Сrеdit gоеs to Snapjaw!

Preface

• Guide was written in early Early Access. All items are subject to change.
• All whips (except the adventurers whip) have exactly one curse, which is listed at the bottom
• Getting a relic with the whip equipped that has at least the same color as the whip, removes the curse. So for a blue whip, one needs to gather a relic from either blue or red level.
• With curses cleared, some whips are objectively better than whips of easier color.
• Releasing a whip early costs 3 tokens of the whip’s color.
