Witch puts a Potion in the first shop each day. In Steam 1.4.1, Black Belt’s lone-Fighting On Victory activation happens after each battle. Choose a trigger your opening offers can support; the shop and current card determine the plan.

Start with the trigger, then check your first shop
The 1.0 additions were Twins, Gentleman, Painter, Burglar, Scavenger and Black Belt; Smuggler arrived in 1.2.0 and Witch in 1.4.0. These are additions across versions, rather than a complete ranking of every trainer.
Witch: inspect the first shop of each day
The first shop rolled each day contains a Potion. The 15-item Potion family belongs to Witch’s shop access. Inspect that first offer and its current cost before committing gold; later rolls are not guaranteed to supply another Potion.
In 1.4.1, Glamour’s sell-value effect changes from tripling to +30 per monster. Fate uses base sell value for its doubling and grants 8 free rerolls, down from 10. Summon Potion costs 10, up from 5. Avoid planning a shop around the old multiplier or an old five-gold price.
Black Belt: plan for the after-battle trigger
With the trainer’s lone Fighting monster condition met, the extra On Victory activation moved from the start of battle to after each battle in 1.4.1. Evaluate the post-battle payoff instead of expecting the extra effect to provide an opening combat proc. Basic Bait also costs 10 now, so an older zero-cost bait plan needs a new budget.
Other supported plans
| Trainer | Decision before committing |
|---|---|
| Smuggler | Brings Batomon from other regions into the shop (1.2.0). Inspect the actual offer for its role, rarity and cost. |
| Twins | Launch-era footage demonstrates the level-three merge copy plan. The 1.2.0 card clarifies that the copy starts with sell value 0; 1.3.0 fixes buffs missing from copies after a merge. Plan team space for the result. |
| Burglar | Launch footage shows trinket gifts offering two choices and taking both. Prioritize trinkets that improve an existing payoff. |
| Scavenger | The linked launch run uses eligible non-unique common/uncommon trinket copies. Check rarity and Unique restrictions before buying a copier. Furnadon no longer counts duplicate trinkets in 1.4.0. |
| Chemist and Redhead | In 1.2.0, Chemist’s Toxic starting Poison becomes +3 and Redhead’s per-win Burn for Fire monsters becomes +3. Match the printed type condition. |
| Bug Catcher | In 1.4.0, the first Bug bought each day changes from free to a 10-gold discount. Check its displayed price. |
When to change direction
Ask what must happen for the ability to pay off, then whether the current shop can reach it soon. A near-complete merge supports a different choice from a repeatable trinket producer. If the enabler is missing, keep a team that can win the next fight while looking for another offer. The Build Finder groups the decisions by engine.
