Banish

Banishing an item removes it from the item pool for the rest of the run. Banished items can't show up in any chest or as a drop again, and a new option is rolled in the banished item's place.

How it works

• You banish while looking at the items offered by a Treasure Chest or a Hero's Grave.
• Banishing a weapon rolls a new weapon in its place.
• The number of banishes you start a run with depends on the size of your item pool: you get more as you unlock more items.
• Banishes are shown as hammers. The Hammer Smith sells 5 more for 10 gold.
• Since Patch #16, banishing several items from the same chest is faster.

In the Gauntlet

In the Gauntlet, one banish re-rolls all the items in the bag or chest you are looking at, instead of just one.

In Kingmaker

Banishes were added for single-player runs only, to keep Kingmaker builds from becoming even more consistent. The Hammer Smith doesn't appear on the Kingmaker map.

Tips

• Banishing early in a run removes items you never want for that build, which makes the items you do want more likely to show up.
• Keeping a few banishes for later turns them into rerolls when you need one specific kind of item for the next boss.
