Mortal Coil

Damage Lifesteal Relic Weapon
Efficiency Score
20
Best Positioning (Quick Answer)
Placement: global effect (no slot requirement).
Trigger: global • Risk: None • Check: No
Mortal Coil
Key Takeaways
  • ● Component — strongest when purchased with a plan, not as a blind buy.
  • ● Low friction: only 2 slot(s), easy to slot in during pivots.
  • ● Low placement risk: trigger is global, so disruption is less punishing.
ⓘ Data & Methodology (How scores are calculated) Season 10

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 Mortal Coil is best classified as Component. At 16g and 2 slot(s), it’s a placement-safe (global) item where timing matters.

Low-to-mid cost means it can be used as a tempo stabilizer if it fits your board plan. Large footprint means you must plan around board compression and sequencing.

Quick Conclusions

Verdict: Buy — based on efficiency 20 and cost 16g.
Trigger: global — placement-safe (won’t usually break).
Best synergy: Basilisk Fang (score 3 • shared tags: Weapon, Damage, Relic).


### Efficiency & ROI Analysis
Your efficiency score (20) 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.

Opportunity Cost

Because it is Medium, you’re paying in board space. Plan your next 2–3 rounds so you don’t choke your sequencing or block key triggers.

Market Competition

Mortal Coil currently occupies a unique strategic niche in the Damage category with no direct cost competitors in this Season 10 meta.

Market Analysis

Cost: 16g • Price percentile: 33% (Damage pool) • Season 10
ⓘ Method

Compared to similar Damage items, this sits around the 33th cost percentile. Use efficiency (20) and role (Component) to decide if it matches your build plan.

Based on a small pool (3 items). Treat this as directional.
Efficiency: 20 Role: Component Slots: 2

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 8 (due to 2 slot footprint).
Cost: 16g Est. Rounds: ~1 Model: cost ÷ (eff×2)

Positioning Guide

Trigger: global • Risk: None • Check: No

Optimal Layout

No positioning requirement (global effect).
Mortal Coil

Placement does not change whether the effect triggers.

Why Placement Matters

Placement errors won’t nullify Mortal Coil. Focus on board space and upgrade timing instead of slot order.

Strategic Q&A

Is Mortal Coil 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 Medium item."

Does positioning matter for Mortal Coil?

"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."
