Summary
InDisney Lorcana, you’re able to use items, songs, and characters to make magic happen and gather lore to win the game. The use of items cannot be underestimated, as they grant you the opportunity to banish characters, gain lore, and grant bonuses to characters. With the right strategy, items can be an invaluable asset.
Not all items are as useful as others, and with Rise of the Floodborn’s release, new items are available to use and strategize with. Looking at all the new options, we’ve compiled a list of the best items to use so you’re able to get one step closer to victory.
10Maurice’s Workshop
Maurice’s Workshop is a wonderful addition to the game, as once played, you mayspend one ink to draw a cardeach time you play another item. When you fill your deck with items to use, you can reap the rewards quickly.
With acost of three, you can play this fairly easily and set yourself up for success, carefully and quickly going through your deck to get the cards that you need to execute your strategy. Theeffect can stack if you have additional Maurice’s Workshop cardsin your deck.
9Binding Contract
With Binding Contract, when you exert this item, youexert one of your characters that is dry. If the character is not dry yet, they cannot be exerted. The benefit to this is thatyou can then exert a chosen character, which will make one of your opponent’s characters vulnerable.
This is a great way tostart banishing your opponent’s characters, especially if they keep them from being exerted during the turn. With Binding Contract,no one is safe from exertionwhen playing (unless warded).
8Weight Set
With the Weight Set card, you canpay one ink to draw a card when playing a character with four strengthor more. This card is especially useful in late game when trying to draw cards andget more powerful charactersin play.

6Perplexing Signposts
The Perplexing Signposts card allows you tobanish the itemwhen exerted. When banished, you canreturn a character of your own to your hand. This can help youprevent a strong or favored character from being banished by your opponent.
Once returned to your hand, you may ink them, play them, or discard them based on what you already have in your hand. This can be alifesaver in a pinch, especially as the game continues to grow and get more intense as each turn passes.
5Ratigan’s Marvelous Trap
Ratigan’s Marvelous Trap is an excellent card, especially in multiplayer.When you banish this item, each opponent loses two lore. This can slow the pace of the game and prevent your opponents from winning, even more so when you have multiple in play.
Even in a standard game with only one opponent,causing your opponent to lose two lore can be devastating. As Emerald decks tend to cause chaos, this is yet another extraordinary addition to thwart your opponents and take the victory for yourself.
