Crown Trick: Character upgrades guide

All the character upgrades in the Hall of Reincarnation cost soul shards. As mentioned in our beginner’s guide, you do get to keep any soul shards you’ve amassed in your previous run. However, attempting to start another run will deplete a ton of soul shards until only a minimum amount is left.

This implies that you should be spending these soul shards as soon as possible to obtain character upgrades. In any case, you’ll see the selections from each Hall of Reincarnation NPC below.

Additional tips

Your best bet is to pick all the character upgrades that cost only five soul shards. These will help you immensely while you’re just starting out in Crown Trick. Heck, Barbara’s Elixir Upgrade alone gives you an extra use of your elixir.

Next, get Accident Insurance and Shard Collector from Stein. These will let you retain some gold and soul shards without losing a lot of your resources at the end of (or upon starting) a new run.

Likewise, Brock’s starter perks — Arsenal Expansion 2/2 and Arsenal Upgrade 2/2 — will be quite beneficial at the start of a Crown Trick run. These ensure that you’ve got some nifty weapons to choose from while you’re still in the initial room — pray that you get a decent axe which can last you several dungeon floors.

Additionally, the Smithy has the “Forge Aspect” panel. By spending 20 soul shards, you can unlock an additional affix that will be part of the possible rolls for future weapons of a certain type.

Note: The Familiar Crystal is another facet in the Hall of Reincarnation that provides character upgrades. We discuss these mechanics in our familiars, skills, and spells guide.
