Inscryption is known for its creepy aesthetic and intense deckbuilding, but behind its atmospheric horror lies a playground of intricate mechanics and powerful synergies. Among the most satisfying—and absolutely broken—mechanics are the infinite attack loops scattered throughout its Acts and Casey’s Mod. This guide outlines every known method for achieving infinite attack, detailing both the engines that drive them and the payoff cards that reap the benefit. From Ouroboros loops to billion-point mirror tentacles, this is the definitive compendium for all things infinite in Inscryption.
Defining an Infinite Attack Combo
To qualify as a true infinite combo, two key components are required:
- Engine – A repeatable mechanism that can be executed indefinitely.
- Payoff – A card whose stats (especially attack) increase as the engine loops.
Let’s go act by act and explore each of these devastating combos.
Act 1: Foundational Loops
1. Ouroboros + Unkillable Black Goat
Ouroboros gains +1/+1 each time its unkillable sigil is triggered. Combine it with a Black Goat also bearing Unkillable, and you can loop them indefinitely:
- Summon Black Goat → Sacrifice it for Ouroboros → Black Goat returns.
- Sacrifice Ouroboros → Black Goat returns → Ouroboros stats go up.
- Repeat.
Simple, accessible, and deadly. It’s the gateway combo to endless damage.
2. Hand Tentacle + Fecundity Loop
Hand Tentacle gains 1 attack per card in your hand. So:
- Create infinite cards using Fecundity, Rabbit Hole, or Ant Spawner.
- Use an Unkillable loop (like Ouroboros + Unkillable Black Goat).
- Add a card-generating sigil to your loop.
Eventually, your hand is overflowing, and Hand Tentacle becomes unstoppable.
3. Mirror Tentacle Auto-Loop
The only automatic infinite attack loop:
- Both sides must have Mirror Tentacles.
- A Leader card boosts one, triggering an infinite back-and-forth stat increase.
- Add Airborne to your Mirror Tentacle so it attacks Leshy directly.
Though rare in Act 1 (you need Leshy to have a Mirror Tentacle, usually only possible during the Trader boss), the setup is elegantly broken.
Act 2: Combo Variants and Energy Loops
1. Ouroboros + Pharaoh’s Pets or Skeleton Engine
Ouroboros returns, but the sacrifice engine changes:
- Pharaoh’s Pets (Worthy Sacrifice + Many Lives) can infinitely feed Ouroboros.
- Or use Tomb Robber to generate Skeletons with bone tokens.
- Sacrifice the skeletons → Summon Ouroboros → Hammer → Repeat.
2. Energy Conduit + Steel Mice
- Complete an Energy Conduit circuit → Infinite energy.
- Use Steel Mice (Fecundity) to summon endless cards for free.
- Sacrifice two mice for Ouroboros → Hammer it → Repeat.
3. Stem Mage Buff Loop
- Uses Energy Conduit for infinite energy.
- Stem Mage’s activated sigil lets you pay energy to increase its stats.
- Infinitely buff for massive foil gains or high-turn achievements.
4. Bone Heap / Gourmage Buffing
Both cards have activated sigils that use bone tokens to increase stats:
- Generate infinite bones via:
- Tomb Robber + Necromancer (2 bones per skeleton).
- Bone Lord’s Horn + Energy Conduit (3 bones per energy).
- Dump bones into Bone Heap or Gourmage for rising attack values.
Act 3: Custom Engine Chaos
1. Ororobot + Card Creator Loop
Ororobot mimics Ouroboros but costs 6 energy. Here’s the workaround:
- Create a card with no cost, Unkillable, and Battery Bearer.
- Each time you play it → +1 energy. Hammer it → it returns.
- Do this 6 times, then summon Ororobot → Hammer → Loop.
Optional: Add Gift Bearer for random bonus cards per loop. It’s a long loop, but functional—and hilariously DIY.
Casey’s Mod: Complex Engines & Stat Overload
1. Red Hart (Sacrifice Count)
Red Hart’s attack = number of sacrifices in a turn.
- Loop Unkillable 1-blood cards for infinite sacrifices.
- Red Hart becomes enormous immediately.
2. Lammer (Bone Token Scaling)
Attack = half your bone tokens.
- Same bone token generation engines (Tomb Robber + Necromancer or Bone Lord’s Horn).
- Lammer scales as high as your bones go.
3. Bloodlust + Brood Parasite Setup
Bloodlust adds 1 attack per creature destroyed.
- Brood Parasite creates Broken Eggs on Leshy’s field.
- Use a Bloodlust + Bifurcated card to attack the eggs.
Caveats:
- Requires sacrifice loop to infinitely summon eggs.
- Must prevent attacking Leshy directly to avoid ending the match.
- Starvation limits long-term potential unless the Moon/Limoncello is defeated (post-battle freeze).
4. Morsel + Mirror Tentacle Mega Combo
This is the most powerful loop, combining:
- Mirror Tentacle vs Mirror Tentacle (infinite stat reflection).
- One Mirror Tentacle has Morsel and Unkillable.
- Add another one-blood card with Morsel and Unkillable.
After looping, summoning the Mirror Tentacle again adds all prior stats. The result?
- Literally billions in attack stats.
- Verified by run end screen: 1,908,869,217 damage.
This combination pushes Inscryption to its limits and breaks the damage cap, if one even exists.
Conclusion: Breaking Inscryption, One Loop at a Time
From humble beginnings with Ouroboros to mirror tentacle stat explosions, Inscryption’s hidden depth lies in these intricate infinite combos. Whether you’re aiming for record damage, foil farming, or just bending the game’s rules to their breaking point, these engines and payoffs open the door to limitless potential.
If we missed an infinite combo or you’ve engineered something even crazier, let us know. Until then, happy looping—and may your sacrifice engines never run dry.
