Preface
Guide was written in early Early Access. All items are subject to change.
All whips (except the adventurers whip) have exactly one curse, which is listed at the bottom
To remove a curse, obtain a relic of at least the equivalent color as the whip whilst using the whip. So for a blue whip, gather a relic from either the blue or red level to remove its curse.
Without curses, some whips are objectively better than others.
Releasing a whip early costs 3 tokens of the whip's color
When you enter the lobby, there is a percentage chance that a whip will be available for purchase.
Individual whips have no unlock requirement. If an entire tier of whips refuses to unlock, make sure you have at least one relic of that color; and at least 5 of the same colored tokens.
