Best talismans, ranked

  1. S · Fist of Iron: 35% more melee damage at level 3, stacking with melee damage modifiers and the Flute. Common in endgame loadouts. Melee only.
  2. S · Tendrils of the Sprout: 40% more damage while health stays above 75% at level 3. In most endgame melee builds, and part of the best melee talisman trio. Drops to 20% (above 85% health) at level 2; lost as soon as you take real damage.
  3. S · Twisted Tooth: 140% more souls gained at level 3; rated above soul capacity because gaining beats holding. Key to keeping Warding Chimes up. Only as good as the artifacts you spend souls on.
  4. S · Glowstone Flask: Potion cooldown 25% shorter, the strongest single source of it found; potions are the main healing. Less useful without potion enchantments.
  5. A · Thrifty Pendant: Up to 50% more damage at level 3 with 9,000 emeralds held. In most endgame builds, one-shot builds included, and in the best melee trio with Fist of Iron and Tendrils of the Sprout. Only with emeralds banked: 25% (7,000 emeralds) at level 1.
  6. A · Sigil of Beeswax: 35% more maximum health at level 3; no armor effect does the same. Defence only.
  7. A · Amethyst Lens: 35% more ranged damage at level 3; in both ranged loadouts on /builds. Ranged only.
  8. B · Sculk Badge: Positive statuses last 15% longer at level 2. The Hivemind Hardhat does the same at 70%.

They level as you play

This is the part Mojang stated outright rather than left to a screenshot: talismans give passive bonuses and gain experience, upgrading as you play. The example given on stage was the Tasty Bone, which summons a wolf companion, and the demo build does show a wolf fighting alongside the hero through Wading Rainy Plains. What a level actually changes has not been said.
