Wad of Cash

If you Command enemies often, Wad of Cash lowers the Command Charge cost of that ability by 1. Targets that already cost more become cheaper. A target that already costs 1 still costs 1.

A lower cost and a larger Charge pool are different benefits. This Artifact only changes what one Command spends.

Subtract 1 from the target's Command cost, then stop at 1. A cost of 3 becomes 2. A cost of 2 becomes 1. A cost of 1 stays 1.

• 1 Charge

  No cost benefit. Command is already at the minimum.

• 2 or more Charges

  You save 1 Charge. The Artifact is more useful the more expensive the target is.

These rows illustrate the confirmed rule: cost minus 1, minimum 1. Actual enemy Command costs depend on the target.

Command never becomes free because of Wad of Cash. The floor stays 1 Command Charge, including targets that already cost 1.

Command makes an enemy switch sides and help Dylan in combat. It spends Command Charges, a resource you pick up in the environment, to do that.

Commanding bigger enemies costs more Command Charges. That is where saving 1 Charge matters.

It is a strong Command-economy Artifact, not the best Combat Artifact overall. The fit depends on how often you Command, and on how expensive those targets are.

Use it when the build is trying to Command more expensive enemies, not when it is trying to deal more direct damage.

• Command-focused

  Excellent. The Artifact exists for this ability.

• High-cost targets

  Excellent. Each Command above 1 Charge saves 1.

• Control-oriented play

  Strong. Commanded enemies switch sides and help in combat. That is not the same as a summoned ally.

A larger Charge pool plus a lower cost is a reasonable direction. This page does not calculate how many extra Commands that produces. It depends on the target cost, your current Charges, recovery, and the enemy.

Some Command talents add available Charges. A separate talent reduces the cost of Commanding low-Health enemies by 1, with the same minimum of 1.

• Capacity talents

  A talent that adds +1 Command Charge increases how many Charges you can hold. It does not change the cost of one Command.

• Low-Health cost talent

  Commanding low-Health enemies costs 1 fewer Command Charge, and the minimum is still 1. That is the same kind of discount as this Artifact.

Spending less and holding more are different benefits. Do not collapse them into Command +1.

• Wad of Cash

  Reduces spending. Each eligible Command costs 1 less Charge, down to 1.

• Charge-capacity talents

  Increase the pool of available Charges. They do not apply this Artifact's discount.

Using both is a real build direction: a larger pool and a lower cost per Command. Do not turn that into a fixed number of extra Commands.
