Weighted Chip is a relic that multiplies the damage of a shot based on which slot at the bottom of the board the orb falls into. This affects the total damage of the shot, not just the running total. The multiplier each slot has will be displayed to the player on the slot, and is shuffled every shot, but the pool of potential values is always the same - there is always two 2x slots, one 0.5x slot, one normal 1x slot, and one 1x slot with a misnavigation pit below it.
It can only be gained from the gambler event.
Notes[]
- This relic has unique interactions with some relics and orb effects, which can both detriment or enhance a turn, listed below:
- Multiball: Each ball that enters a slot will multiply the current damage amount
- Teleporting slots (Pumpkin π, Jack-Orb-Lantern): The multiplier and misnavigation damage will not apply to an orb until the final time it enters a slot (stops teleporting back to the top). The Pumpkin π's portal will always be placed on a x0.5 slot.
- Orbs with echo will take the damage multiplier of a previous shot into account (e.g. doing 100 damage and landing in a 2x slot {dealing 200 damage} will set echo 50 to 100 damage)
Strategy[]
- This relic has a high chance to lower the damage of Multiball orbs, especially at higher levels of Multiball, however there is also a chance of a really high multiplier at higher Multiball levels, meaning that any Multiball effects used with Weighted Chip present a high amount of both risk and reward.
- Taking Pumpkin π with Weighted Chip allows for a potential safeguard against both a low damage multiplier, and against taking unwanted damage
- Since Super Boots protect against mis-navigation damage, they will also negate the damage of the misnavigation slot.
- If an orb enters the vortex spawned in the mines, it will only multiply the damage the orb deals by x1.
