Volatile Explosive

Volatile Explosive

A self-upgrading firecracker: it grants [Ember] on pickup, and once your stacks reach the threshold it destroys itself and hands you the stronger Thermite Explosive. Essentially a discounted pre-order for a better relic.

Quick answer

PICK IT WHEN

Take it when your current route already produces the fire, economy signals. The value comes from repeating that event, not from the item name or rarity alone.

WATCH OUT

If none of its triggers are happening yet, keep the slot open for a pick that strengthens the engine already on screen.
