Sea of Stars offers dozens of relics and Artful Gambit is one of them. It is packed with immense power but it comes at a cost. The user will lose most of their health when it is equipped but they will get its true power that can even destroy high-end bosses.
In this guide, we have covered everything important about Artful Gambit and also how you can use it effectively against most of the bosses. Keep on reading to find out everything.
How to Obtain Artful Gambit in Sea of Stars
Artful Gambit is obtained from a location that becomes available after you have activated the Speedball Network Station at Es’tristae’s Lookout.
Once you have done head to the Cerulean Island which is accessible from Cerulean Expanse, here you will have to reach the exact location of Throne of the Queen That Was. At this spot you can have two major items, the first is Artful Gambit Relic and the second is Rainbow Conch.
The place has a specific mini-boss that you can choose to fight with. Also, this place has a main story “The Cerulean Expedition”.
How to Use Artful Gambit Effectively Against Bosses
Now, using Artful Gambit in boss battles and even in normal fights can be extremely rewarding but you should know how to use it in the right way. This is a pretty hard-to-control relic that can make you die if not used correctly.
So, here are some important tips.
You can activate or deactivate it at any time, I would recommend to activate in the boss battles. Doing so will give you tons of additional damage. You can choose to activate it when you are roaming around but it can be painful sometimes. However, you can still knock down the enemies with just a single hit if it is landed at the right time.
Make sure not to activate it right after you have obtained it. Doing so might bring out the trophy. So, roam around for some time and then try activating it when in a tough battle.
Artful Gambit can become even more effective when it is paired up with various trinkets. Here are some of them:
- Reaper Mercy: It will protect you from dying whenever you fail to perform a block.
- Leeching Thorn: It will heal you on attacks.
- Nano Injector: When your teammates are knocked out, 1 star will be dropped.
If you try to equip trinkets that boost HP, you will notice that they are not useful here. Because Artful Gambit decreases the user’s HP by 95% even including that comes from equipped items.
To make this relic even more powerful, try equipping other relics with it, such as Sixth Sense and Double Edge. The first one will give you a chance of auto block while the second one will lower the target’s defense.
