Acquisition
An Ancient relic chosen from Tescatara in Act 2. It is one of the options offered when you encounter Tescatara on Act 2.
Rating
Very Hot Cocoa is a Tescatara Ancient relic that grants +4 Energy at combat start. Turn 1 jumps from the usual 3 Energy to 7, radically changing setup speed. Completing the deck's gameplan on turn 1 lets the rest of the fight play out on an optimized board. Whether in Boss or mob fights, the turn 1 burst is tremendous, and the upside is universal regardless of build direction. The only weakness is that it does nothing from turn 2 onward, but if you can build your board on turn 1 with 7 Energy, that is enough.
