Key Takeaways

  • ● Low friction: only 1 slot(s), easy to slot in during pivots.
  • ● Placement-sensitive: mispositioning can nullify value (trigger: global).

ⓘ Data & Methodology (How scores are calculated) Season 11

Efficiency: Efficiency Score is a normalized "space ROI" metric: (estimated effect value ÷ size slots). It is NOT raw DPS.

ROI: ROI estimates assume standard round pacing and compare this item against same-tier peers by cost and slot usage.

Percentile: Percentiles are computed within the same category/tier bucket (e.g., Tech items at similar cost).

Meta Strategic Position

The Genie Lamp is best classified as Engine. At 16g and 1 slot(s), it’s a placement-sensitive (global) item where timing matters.

Low-to-mid cost means it can be used as a tempo stabilizer if it fits your board plan. Low footprint makes it easy to slot in without breaking your grid.

Quick Conclusions

Verdict: Buy — based on efficiency 10 and cost 16g.
Trigger: global — placement-sensitive (mispositioning can nullify value).
Best synergy: Barbspike Warden (score 1 • shared tags: Relic).


### Efficiency & ROI Analysis
Your efficiency score (10) is a *space ROI* signal, not raw DPS. This usually means it can carry a board plan if you can protect space and scale it. If you’re behind on board stability, delay the purchase until you can immediately benefit from it.

Board Flexibility

Because it is Small, you can pivot into it with minimal disruption. This is ideal when you need to keep options open while scouting opponents.

Based on a small pool (4 items). Treat this as directional.
Efficiency: 10 Role: Engine Slots: 1

Investment ROI

Estimated break-even: ~1 rounds
ⓘ Method

This is a heuristic estimate (not raw DPS). If you want it to matter, buy early enough to get multiple trigger windows before the board locks.

Timing hint: strongest when purchased before ~round 9 (due to 1 slot footprint).
Cost: 16g Est. Rounds: ~1 Model: cost ÷ (eff×2)

Positioning Guide

Optimal Layout

No positioning requirement (global effect).

Placement does not change whether the effect triggers.

Why Placement Matters

Correct placement ensures consistent triggers. Small disruptions may reduce value, but are not always fatal.

Tip: If it “doesn’t trigger”, double-check the neighboring slot is occupied and that the target item is valid for this effect.

Strategic Q&A

Is Genie Lamp worth buying early game?

"With a cost of 16g, this is typically a calculated investment. In early rounds, focus on board stability before committing to this Small item."

Does positioning matter for Genie Lamp?

"No — this is a global item. Placement won’t affect whether it triggers. Optimize for slot efficiency and keep your grid open for higher-impact pieces."
