Gas Can + potion

Learn how to combine the Gas Can and Potion artifacts in Monster Train for powerful Pyre healing and potential Gold generation. A beginner-friendly guide.

Hey there! So, you're asking about the "Gas Can + potion" combo? That's actually a bit of a misunderstanding. The artifact that works with healing and potions is called Refracting Lenses, not Gas Can. Let's talk about how Refracting Lenses can help keep your Pyre alive. Refracting Lenses is a pretty neat artifact that restores 5 Pyre Health every time you play a card with the Consume keyword. Think of it as a little bit of healing for each time you use up a card from your hand. How good is it? It really depends on how many Consume cards you have in your deck. If you're just starting out and have even 2 or 3 Consume cards, this artifact can be a lifesaver, helping you survive those early battles. As your run progresses, you'll likely pick up more Consume cards, making Refracting Lenses even more potent. It's even possible to heal your Pyre back to full health with this, which is huge, especially on higher Covenants where you start with less Pyre Health (like 40 Pyre Health on Covenant 24+). Synergies and Strategies: * Wurmkin Clan: If you're playing the Wurmkin clan, you'll naturally have a lot of Consume cards. With Refracting Lenses, you can even make a strategy out of letting some enemies reach your Pyre and then healing them off, as long as you can handle the boss with other means. * Rationing Scales (DLC): If you have the Rationing Scales artifact (from The Last Divinity DLC), you can turn that Pyre Health you gain from Refracting Lenses into Gold each combat. This can be a massive boost to your economy in decks that rely heavily on Consume cards. Watch out for: * The Last Divinity (DLC): This artifact becomes less reliable if you're dealing with Pact Shards. The enemies hit harder, and in the final boss fight, two non-relentless mini-bosses can easily destroy your Pyre even if it's at full health. In a nutshell: Refracting Lenses is fantastic if you need early-game Pyre healing and have Consume cards. Otherwise, it's a solid, but not game-breaking, artifact. It can be a core part of your strategy if you're not using Pact Shards.
