护符系统概述 / Charm System Overview#

Charms are items that provide passive buffs in Cuphead, with one charm selectable before each battle from the equipment screen. Charm effects cover enhanced survivability, accelerated energy gain, attack pattern modifications, and more. Choosing the right charm often influences battle outcomes more than weapon selection.

基础护符 / Basic Charms#

烟雾弹 / Smoke Bomb#

价格：4 金币 / Prices：4 Gold

Prices：4 Gold Prices：4 Gold Price：4 Gold 效果：冲刺变为烟雾冲刺，全程无敌且无声 / Price：4 Gold

适用场景：几乎所有战斗 / Price：4 Gold

效果：冲刺变为烟雾冲刺，全程无敌且无声 / Price：4 Gold

适用场景：几乎所有战斗 / Price：4 Gold

Price: 4 coins Effect: Transforms dash into smoke dash, granting full invincibility and silent movement Suitable for: Nearly all battles

烟雾弹是游戏中最实用的护符，没有之一。普通冲刺只有短暂的帧数无敌，烟雾弹则将冲刺变为全程无敌，同时不发出声音。这意味着你可以直接穿过任何弹幕，不受伤害。对于新手玩家来说，烟雾弹可以弥补操作不足带来的失误。即使是高手玩家，烟雾弹提供的容错率也无可替代 / The Smoke Bomb is quite simply the most practical charm in the game. A normal dash has only brief invincibility frames, while Smoke Bomb grants full invincibility throughout the dash and eliminates movement sound. This means you can pass through any bullet pattern without taking damage. For new players, Smoke Bomb compensates for technical shortcomings. Even for veteran players, the margin for error provided by Smoke Bomb is irreplaceable.

咖啡 / Coffee#

Prices：4 Gold Prices：4 Gold

价格：4 金币 / Prices：4 Gold

效果：超级计量槽随时间自动缓慢充能 / Prices：4 Gold

适用场景：持久战、需要高频率必杀的战斗 / Price: 4 coins

Price: 4 coins Effect: Super meter slowly auto-charges over time Suitable for: Extended battles, fights requiring frequent super arts

Price：4 Gold

The Coffee charm lets you gain energy continuously without parrying, auto-charging one card every 7 seconds. In extended battles, Coffee lets you unleash 2-3 additional super arts, which is significant in later boss fights. It pairs well with weapon combinations that benefit from frequent EX moves or super arts. The downside is limited effectiveness in fast, short battles.

Prices：4 Gold Prices：4 Gold

P·糖 / P. Sugar#

价格：4 金币 / Prices：4 Gold

效果：自动格挡触碰到的第一个粉色物体 / Price: 4 coins

Price: 4 coins Effect: Auto-parries the first pink object touched Suitable for: Boss battles with numerous pink projectiles

Price：5 Gold

P. Sugar auto-parries one pink object without requiring button input. This is very useful for players who frequently miss parry timing. In boss battles with difficult parry windows (such as Grim Matchstick fire parries), P. Sugar provides a guaranteed parry. The downside is it triggers only once per battle, requiring careful timing planning.

生存类护符 / Survival Charms#

Prices：5 Gold Prices：5 Gold

心环 / Heart Ring#

价格：5 金币 / Price：5 Gold

效果：受到伤害时有概率回复一格生命值 / Price：5 Gold

Price：5 Gold

Price: 5 coins Effect: Chance to recover one HP when taking damage Suitable for: Early game exploration, practicing new bosses

心环在受到伤害时有概率触发回血效果，每次战斗最多触发三次。这枚护符的效果依赖运气，但在开荒阶段确实可以提供额外容错。需要注意的是，心环不能超过生命值上限，且触发概率大约是 30% 左右。对于追求稳定性的玩家来说，心环的随机性可能不如其他护符可靠 / Prices：5 Gold

Prices：5 Gold Prices：5 Gold

The Heart Ring has a chance to heal one HP when taking damage, triggering up to three times per battle. This charm relies on luck but provides extra margin for error during the learning phase. Note that Heart Ring cannot exceed maximum HP, and the trigger probability is approximately 30%. For players seeking consistency, the Heart Ring randomness may be less reliable than other charms.

双心 / Twin Heart#

价格：5 金币 / Price：5 Gold （已在心环中介绍，此处不再重复） / Prices：4 Gold 效果：增加一格生命值上限 / Price: 5 coins

Price: 5 coins Effect: Increases maximum HP by one Price：4 Gold Suitable for: Boss battles with extreme survival pressure, new players

Twin Heart directly increases maximum HP by one, allowing you to survive one additional hit. For new players, this is the most straightforward survival improvement. However, one extra hit point means one more mistake allowed in specific boss battles, while sacrificing a charm slot tactical value. Veteran players typically opt for more aggressive charms.

心形戒指 / Heart Ring#

Prices：4 Gold Prices：4 Gold （已在心环中介绍，此处不再重复） / Prices：4 Gold

攻击类护符 / Attack Charms#

威士顿 / Whetstone#

价格：4 金币 / Prices：4 Gold 效果：格挡时对附近的敌人造成伤害 / Price: 4 coins

Price: 4 coins Effect: Deals damage to nearby enemies when parrying Suitable for: Battles with frequent parrying, bosses with short attack windows

The Whetstone charm adds a damage effect to parries, dealing approximately 10 damage to nearby enemies with each parry. In boss battles requiring frequent parrying, Whetstone provides substantial additional damage. This is especially valuable against bosses that frequently release pink projectiles. It pairs well with P. Sugar to guarantee parry triggers.

DLC 护符 / DLC Charms#

星界曲奇 / Astral Cookie#

适用场景：挑战模式、追求趣味性 / Price: DLC acquisition (complete Graveyard challenge)

Price: DLC acquisition Effect: Hold down plus jump to transform into Ms. Chalice Suitable for: All DLC content, battles requiring high mobility

The Astral Cookie is the most important DLC charm. Using it transforms the character into Ms. Chalice, granting an entirely new ability set: double jump, roll dodge (with invincibility frames and damage), and auto-parry for pink objects (Ms. Chalice uses a special magnet parry). Ms. Chalice has no normal dash, but the roll dodge comprehensively surpasses the dash in utility. In transformed state, the character hitbox is smaller, providing enhanced survivability.

神圣遗物 / Divine Relic#

效果：随机切换武器效果，属性随战斗时间提升 / Price: DLC acquisition (complete Graveyard challenge)

适用场景：挑战模式、追求趣味性 / Price: DLC acquisition (complete Graveyard challenge)

Price: DLC acquisition (complete Graveyard challenge) Effect: Randomly cycles weapon effects, stats improve over time Suitable for: Challenge mode, seeking variety

The Divine Relic is a hidden DLC charm with extremely special effects. When equipped, the weapon transforms into a Cursed Relic, with stats gradually improving during battle. As more parries are completed, the weapon progressively unlocks stronger effects, eventually evolving into the Divine Relic. This is one of the strongest charms in the game, but its acquisition conditions are extremely demanding.

破碎圣遗物 / Broken Relic#

神圣遗物的初始形态，在墓园中通过特定挑战获得。装备后武器没有特殊效果，但随着战斗持续会逐步解锁能力 / The initial form of the Divine Relic, obtained through specific challenges in the Graveyard. When equipped, the weapon has no special effect initially, but progressively unlocks abilities as combat continues.
