Cunning Potion

Cunning Potion is an uncommon potion exclusive to the Silent that adds 3 Shiv+ cards to your hand when used. Shiv+ is an upgraded version of the Shiv card, dealing 6 damage at 0 cost and Exhausting after play. The three free 6-damage attacks provide an immediate 18 damage with no Energy cost. It is obtained through enemy drops, shop purchases, or events.

Cunning Potion is one of the strongest potion rewards for Silent builds that leverage Shiv synergies. Cards like Blade Dance, Accuracy (which boosts Shiv damage), and Finisher (which deals damage for each Shiv played) all synergize directly with the three free Shivs. With Accuracy in play, each Shiv+ deals 6 + 4 = 10 damage, turning the potion into 30 free damage. Finisher played afterward capitalizes on the card plays. Even without dedicated Shiv synergies, 18 free damage with zero Energy cost is a strong tempo play on any turn. Best used on a burst damage turn against a high-priority target.
