💰 How Golden Glove Works
Golden Glove adds a flat +15% multiplier to gold gained from enemy kills. It does not change combat power directly, but it increases your buying power during the run, enabling more shop purchases, rerolls, and shrine interactions.
Advantages
- Immediate, always-on gold bonus from kills
- Great early pickup—benefits compound across the run
- Pairs naturally with other gold/XP acceleration tools
Trade-offs
- No direct DPS/defense—purely economic
- Lower impact if taken very late
- Situational in challenge/boss-rush runs where time is tight
🔗 Helpful Pairings & Tips
Gold/Farming Pairings
Golden Sneakers
Generates gold while moving—stacks well with a kill-gold bonus.
Golden Shield
Rewards taking hits with gold; complements kill-based gold to smooth income.
When to Take It
- Early stages: maximizes cumulative benefit throughout the run.
- Farming/score runs: where extra purchases and rerolls compound into power.
- Skip late: if you urgently need immediate combat stats instead.
Note: Because Golden Glove is purely economic, weave it into builds that already have stable damage/defense. Use shops to convert the gold edge into actual power (DPS/defense items).
