Tingsha + Tough Bandages: Silent’s Best Relic Combo Right Now
Why Tingsha and Tough Bandages stack into 12-18 passive damage and 12-18 passive Block per turn on a Silent discard deck, and exactly how to draft into it.
How the combo actually scales
Each discard from your hand triggers Tingsha (3 damage to a random enemy) and Tough Bandages (3 Block) simultaneously. A Silent deck that cycles 4-6 discards per turn produces 12-18 passive damage and 12-18 passive Block before any actual card effects resolve.
That is functionally equivalent to playing two extra cards every turn for free, on top of whatever the cards you play and discard already do. Switchblade Gaming labelled this the strongest A-tier pair in the current Silent meta and it is hard to argue against.
- Tingsha: 3 damage per discard.
- Tough Bandages: 3 Block per discard.
- 4-6 discards/turn = 12-18 passive damage + 12-18 passive Block.
How to fish for both relics
Both relics are uncommon and Silent-specific, so you cannot guarantee them. What you can do: bring a Bottled Tornado / Bottled Lightning style draft so your existing engine works without the relics, then convert any Silent uncommon relic you find into the missing piece via shop and event swaps.
On A6, the −25 gold shop relic discount makes the second piece much easier to pay for. Save shop visits accordingly.
What the deck actually wants
You want 1-2 cheap discard triggers (Calculated Gamble, Tactician), 2-3 Sly cards to convert each discard into a real action, a hand-size buffer, and at least one finisher that scales independently (Snakebite, Grand Finale, or Strength-scaling weapons). The relics multiply this, they do not replace it.
- 1-2 discard triggers.
- 2-3 Sly cards.
- 1 hand-refill source.
- 1 independent finisher.
