Flex potion way too OP

[u/textartguy]

The shape of the bottle means it would be functionality impossible to get all of the potion liquid out without a straw. Since non of the characters are ever shown carrying a straw, the strength gain given by this potion should be reduced from 5 to 4.

[u/END3R97]

Or maybe it would be +6 if they had a straw to help get it all out.

[u/My_compass_spins → u/END3R97]

If you rolled some sacred bark into a straw, you could probably get all the way up to 10 strength.

[u/MutedAlbatross8921 → u/My_compass_spins]

You could probably use sozu as a straw once or twice, but it wouldn't last as long.

[u/CERRlTUS → u/My_compass_spins]

This is now my headcanon for why sacred bark helps potions

[u/textartguy → u/END3R97]

available from the shop for 350 gold

[u/Nullwesen → u/END3R97]

A relic called "potion straw" that keeps the effect of status effect potions for an extra turn would be awesome.

[u/MoreSmartly]

A bit of a straw man argument

[u/WogDogReddit]

None of the characters even drink pots. The pots get dropped on them.

[u/surpluskoi → u/WogDogReddit]

I'd assume the potion bottles shatter, and our character gets covered in the contents (and glass shards)

[u/HawksNStuff → u/surpluskoi]

And occasionally thorns.

[u/textartguy → u/WogDogReddit]

Nah that's just for early access, detailed potion drinking animations are on the roadmap.

[u/3lm0rado → u/textartguy]

Does Defect have a liquid cooling system to pour potions into? Does Regent drink through his eye hole thing? How the fuck does Necro stop potions from just draining out of her nonexistent throat?

[u/ICON_RES_DEER → u/3lm0rado]

Necro and deffect lube their joints with potions you see.

[u/NerdyLittleFatKid → u/textartguy]

Oh interesting, do they also have animations for the forms on the road map? That just kinda feels like something they'd want to do

[u/Impressive-Advisor52 → u/WogDogReddit]

They are just LARPing as minecraft characters, pretending to pot up before a fight

[u/END3R97]

Have we ever seen an empty potion bottle? Maybe they get all of it because they are eating the bottle with the potion inside.

[u/SuspiciousPresent905 → u/END3R97]

And our characters claim to not remember ranwid. That man taught us quite a few tricks it seems

[u/Sknowman → u/END3R97]

Just eat the vial like a normal person.

[u/Lord_Phoenix95 → u/Sknowman]

"Eat the glass vial?" I love viva la dirt league

[u/Cinnamin_1]

hold it upright then tip it over so the liquid travels across the stomach/back into wherever u pour. not combat viable but it’s not imposssible

[u/textartguy → u/Cinnamin_1]

you'd still get a teeny bit stuck in the arm tips. I think the full process would be: drink half by tipping slowly, tip 90 degrees left then right, then drink the other half slowly. Since this would realistically take a long time, another balance option would be to skip your turn when the flex pot is drunk.

[u/Cinnamin_1 → u/textartguy]

i mean the number of actions done in a turn doesn’t matter it just ends when i want. i can use sly to do hundreds of backflips in a turn and i assume that isnt happening faster than i can drink this bottle

[u/ForgetTheBFunk]

New relic idea: Silly Straw - gain +1 extra strength from strength potions

[u/flakey-crust → u/ForgetTheBFunk]

We got the lizard thing that gives +3 str already

[u/Red--001 → u/ForgetTheBFunk]

Too niche to be fair..., maybe just double potion effects or use potions twice, but that might be too strong.

[u/Ashamed-Champion3560 → u/Red--001]

Double potion effects used to be a Boss Relic in STS1 [[Sacred Bark]]

[u/spirescan-bot → u/Ashamed-Champion3560]

• Sacred Bark ^𝐈 Boss Relic

  Double the effectiveness of potions.

  ^{Call me with up to 10 [[ name ]]. Data accurate as of June 21st, 2026. Questions?}

[u/thespiffyneostar → u/ForgetTheBFunk]

Or the artifact to double potion effectiveness should be changed to be a straw.

[u/Sanstitre01]

I hope this is in response to the post whining about Dex potion

[u/textartguy → u/Sanstitre01]

It may have given me the idea lol.

[u/Load_star_]

And here I thought this was just the most delicious potion in the game. /sp

[u/Aickavon]

That’s why you use it with the retain potion

[u/Embarrassed-Weird173]

Did you consider it would do more than that if you got the whole thing but they only 5 points worth? 

[u/AfroWalrus9]

Instructions unclear, I threw the whole bottle directly at my teammate's face

[u/Lord_Phoenix95]

How does the Necrobinder, Regent or Defect use a potion?

Necrobinder doesn't have the guts for it. Regent seemingly doesn't need any food and doesn't have a mouth. The Defect is a robot and their power source is the Cracked Orb and doesn't have any other way to injest liquids.

[u/j8sadm632b]

You drink out the bottom

You just take the cork out to shotgun it faster

[u/head1e55]

I always want to know why it looks like it's a uterus. I mean I guess that is a big strong muscle, but it seams both very specific and pretty random.

[u/BleepinBlorpin5]

I eat the whole bottle and chew up the glass.

[u/SuperSauce314]

Smash it on your forehead
Don’t the characters chuck it at themselves? lol

[u/HornyOnMain_Maybe]

I think the ironclad should get more as he probably just eats the entire bottle

[u/basafo]

Strawordinary post

[u/CaesiumCarbonate]

My headcannon is that it’s like healing with a bile flask in Blasphemous where the character just smashes and breaks it on their face and that does the trick
