Potions are one-time-use items that can only be used in combat(with the exception of Fruit Juice, which can be used in most scenarios). The player can typically hold up to 3 of them at any given time, or 5 with the Potion Belt relic. However, on ascension levels 11 and higher, the player only has 2 potion slots, or 4 with the Potion Belt.

Using a potion does not require Energy.

Potions are occasionally dropped as a reward after combat. They can also be bought at Merchants or obtained from some Events. Neow also offers 3 random potions as a starting blessing.
