Acquisition
An Ancient relic chosen from Niou in Act 1. One of Niou's starting-Act options — a run-shaping pick.
Rating
Pomander is a Niou Ancient relic that instantly upgrades one card. The effect is reliable, but valued at exactly one upgrade it's more modest than other Niou picks. If you target a card whose upgrade drastically changes performance (cost reduction, damage doubling, etc.), early combat Strength visibly improves. A side benefit is skipping one campfire smith and spending that rest site on HP recovery instead.
