Heirlooms

Heirlooms are items for King Knight to use in King of Cards as alternative weapons to his Shoulder Bash.

Description[]

Heirlooms, similarly to Shovel Knight's Relics, deplete numerical values as opposed to a gauge, although Heirlooms consume Vigor rather than Magic. The Vigor Capacity can be usually be replenished by collecting Vigor Jars, but the Vestments of Vigor also provide alternative sources.

The majority of Heirlooms can be acquired in Heirloom Courses after purchasing them with Merit Medals, similarly to Curios Courses. Furthermore once the Heirloom Course is completed, the seller of the Heirloom will join the crew of the Glidewing and becomes a Joustus player. The only Heirloom not acquired with Merit Medals are the Horns of Heralding, which are rewarded by the Juice Maid in the House of Joustus after paying drinks for everyone.

A special subset of Heirlooms are the Decrees. These papers, of which there are three different types, are single use items that summon helpful creatures to either attack, heal or float over obstacles; to replenish them new ones must either be found in chests or bought from the Troupple King, after unstuffing his blowhole, for 2500 gold each. Like with the Troupple Chalices, even two copies of the same type of Decree can be stored. Due to their single-use nature, Decrees are not considered traditional Heirlooms, and as such their use is allowed when attempting to earn the Feat Naked King.

King Knight's initial Vigor Capacity can be further increased by buying Vigor Cream Pies from Mom, in the Homestead or later the Glidewing.

In New Game Plus, the Vigor Capacity is absent, and the use of Heirlooms instead consume a quantity of Treasures with each use; coupled with the added difficulty of King Knight losing some treasure after each hit he received, and the general increased difficulty of the campaign, this makes each use of the Heirlooms a precious resource. However, Vigor Cream Pies and Vestments of Vigor drastically reduce the cost of using them.
