Tea Cup
Tea Cup

Tea party buffs that are both useful and easy to attain in Hardcore.

Hats are listed in roughly the order they're encountered during a run. Utility for a given hat/buff combo depends on both the hat and the buff. A buff may be listed more than once if multiple hats provide it or if there are multiple sources for the hat.

Speed Ascension Buffs

Buffs that directly help with quests or otherwise lower your turncount, and whose hats can be acquired without spending turns in non-quest zones.

Useful Buffs

Buffs that may not be optimal for no-path, but still provide utility in various situations, or are good but require extra turns to find the hat.
