Serpent: Effects & Location

【Serpent】

Automatically performs Counters, but reduces maximum Sanity and slows Sanity recovery.

From Draw Omamori


When Serpent Is Most Useful

Triggers a Counter Automatically When the Sign Appears

Very convenient. Even without Focus, if the Counter sign effect appears for even a brief moment, the Counter will auto-activate.

However, the Sanity Cap reduction from automatic activation is fairly high. It reduces more than a Focus Attack does, so without item support or some other form of mitigation, managing it becomes difficult.


Recommended Omamori Combinations

Hound / Dolphin / Willow

HoundLocation: Treasure Hall

Slightly restores maximum Sanity when defeating enemies.

Dolphin

Slightly restores maximum Sanity when performing a Perfect Dodge.

From Draw Omamori

Willow

Boosts the effectiveness of items and Omamori that restore Sanity.

From Draw Omamori

If you plan to restore your Sanity Cap with items, you can skip this Omamori — but if you want to conserve items, you will pretty much need to run the three Omamori above to keep things manageable.
