Strategy & Tips
Soul Fragment is a Common relic that provides a steady income of +3 Gold after every fight. Gold lets you buy relics and cards from shops, so the cumulative value over an entire run is significant, especially when picked up early. Like Lucky Coin and Scroll of Insight, this is a snowball relic whose value is proportional to how many fights remain.
The extra gold lets you afford more shop relics and card removals, indirectly improving your deck quality. It has no combat application whatsoever, so picking it means forgoing a relic that helps you fight right now. The relic pairs well with other economy-focused relics in a strategy that invests in long-term run progression through shops.
In short runs or runs where shops are scarce, the gold accumulation matters less. There are no anti-synergies, since gold is universally useful. However, in desperate situations where you are struggling to survive fights, prioritize combat relics instead.
Priority: always pick early in a run for maximum gold accumulation; skip late when few fights and shops remain.
