Rat Heart

A common trinket from the Rat set that grants +1 CON. Constitution increases max HP and related survivability stats, making Rat Heart a solid pick for any build that wants a bit more staying power. Part of the Rat set alongside Rat Bezoar and Rat Tail — assembling the full set compounds across defense, offense, and luck.

+1 CON from a common trinket is identical to Wiz Cheese's stat contribution, but Rat Heart's value is enhanced by its set membership — wearing Rat Heart, Rat Bezoar, and Rat Tail simultaneously provides PoisonThorns plus LCK plus CON, creating a defensive package that scales well for a trio of commons. Each piece reinforces the others: more HP to absorb hits, more luck to improve outcomes, and thorns to punish attackers.

Rat Heart is most valuable as part of the complete Rat set for a common-rarity survival bundle, or as a CON placeholder until a higher-rarity HP-boosting item appears. Standalone, it competes directly with Wiz Cheese for the same effect — neither is better than the other except as part of their respective set synergies. In Copycat builds, the +1 CON doubles, making Rat Heart contribute +2 CON per slot.
