If you’ve played a few runs of Slots & Daggers, you already know items are what truly define your builds. Winning isn’t just about luck — it’s about understanding what each equipment and powerup actually does for your run and how they synergize.
This guide organizes all known items into a practical, player-friendly format so you can quickly understand what’s worth picking and when.
Equipments
Equipments are the items that appear on your wheel. When rolled, they trigger their effect instantly.
There are 30 total equipment items, divided into functional categories based on their role in a run.
Coin Equipments
These are your primary economy tools and extremely important early in a run.
Coin
Gain: 1 coin
Critical Bonus: x6 value
This is your basic money generator. Weak alone, but useful early before you unlock stronger options.
Coin Bag
Gain: 1 to 4 coins
Critical Bonus: x3 value
Much more reliable than the basic coin. It’s one of the best early money sources.
Fiver
Gain: 3 coins
Critical Bonus: x3 value
Strong and consistent income. Ideal for stabilizing shop purchases.
Equipment Categories

Buffs — enhances damage or survivability.
Physical Damage — direct melee attacks.

Each category supports different build strategies.
