With each respawn, you start your run with zero special abilities and a normal sword. As you continue your run, you can come across a few different items that can either replace your weapon or give you an advantage that you can activate for a short amount of time. All of these pickups are advantageous in some way, but because they last for a limited time, you must make them count.
