Ancient Tea Set

Ancient Tea Set is a common relic that triggers whenever you visit a Rest Site. After resting, the next combat begins with 2 additional Energy on your first turn. This means the benefit is slightly delayed — you rest, then gain the bonus in the subsequent fight — but if you camp frequently, you gain extra energy at a regular cadence throughout the run.

The relic rewards aggressive resting behavior and is at its most powerful in the mid-to-late game when you are regularly visiting campsites. Having 5 Energy on your first turn (3 base + 2 from Tea Set) can enable massive opening turns with expensive cards or combos. It does nothing if you consistently choose to smith (upgrade) at rest sites rather than heal, so its value depends on your playstyle and how often you rest. Ancient Tea Set is particularly potent in decks that have high-cost power cards or want to set up a massive turn 1 board state.
