Quick Answer: The Core's Kit
The Core's kit is built around the Kraken Die launched by the From the Deep starter perk: launching it grants +10 XP to any artifacts in its column, and the kit feeds the column's STR and refunds your resources every time it fires.
| Item | Rarity | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Dread Knot | Uncommon | When you score any quadruple, give all units +150 STR. |
| Rib Cannon | Rare | After you score this column with Kraken base dice, get +2 Budge and +3 Multi. |
| Cavities | Common | Units scored during Kraken base dice gain +25 STR. |
| Lone Dragon | Legendary | Your Kraken base dice has +2 Dicepower when it is alone in its column. |
| Hydra Head | Perk | You have a second Kraken base dice. |
| Bone Eater | Perk | Launching Kraken base dice increases the STR of the bottom units in its column by 50%. |
How the Kit Compounds
Every Kraken launch is simultaneous value: column artifact XP, Bone Eater's 50% STR boost to the column's bottom units, Cavities' +25 STR to anything scored during the launch, and Rib Cannon's Budge + Multi refund when the column scores. Hydra Head duplicates the whole loop with a second die, and quadruple turns from Dread Knot raise every unit on the board at once.
