Neow

Neow is not a traditional event but the starting entity who greets the player at the beginning of every run in Act 1. She offers a choice of four blessings to begin your journey, randomly selected from a pool of options. Possible blessings include gaining max HP, receiving gold, getting a random relic, trading a curse into a starter relic upgrade, removing a card from your deck, upgrading a card, gaining a rare card, or receiving three potions. The blessing pool rotates and changes each run.

Neow's blessings can dramatically shape the direction of a run. High-tier blessings like receiving a powerful relic or gaining a rare card provide strong immediate advantages. The 'Transform 2 cards' blessing can modernize a weak starting deck. For most characters, blessings that provide max HP or gold are considered reliable and flexible choices. The option to remove a card (typically a Strike or Curse) is very valuable for deck-thinning strategies. Some blessings require sacrificing HP or cursing your deck in exchange for rarer rewards.
