Tingsha

Tingsha is a Rare relic in Slay the Spire 2 that deals 3 damage to a random enemy whenever you discard a card during your turn. This relic converts the act of discarding cards into a source of free damage, turning card management and cycling into offensive output.

The 3 damage per discard triggers add up significantly in discard-heavy builds. Mass-discard effects like Calculated Gamble can trigger Tingsha 4-5 times in a single play, dealing 12-15 damage for free on top of the card's normal effect. Even single-card discards from Survivor or Tools of the Trade provide consistent chip damage each turn.

Tingsha is the offensive counterpart to Tough Bandages, and the two relics together create the devastating discard engine: every discarded card deals 3 damage AND gains 3 Block. This combination turns the Silent's discard strategy into one of the most efficient builds in the game. Tingsha also pairs well with Gambling Chip for turn-1 burst damage. The relic requires active discard effects to trigger and provides no value in decks that do not discard during their turn.
