What Does the Depression Charm Do in Clovepit?
Depression Stops Random Lucky Spins
Players will occasionally see sparks when they pull the slot machine’s lever, which indicates that they have gotten a lucky spin. While players are not guaranteed to make any patterns on a lucky spin, they are more likely to do so.

The Depression charm prevents these lucky spins from occurring, setting “spontaneous luck” to 0. While it is still possible to use other charms to increase luck, the machine will not randomly spark when Depression is equipped.
When to Use the Depression Charm in Cloverpit
It may seem like it would never be beneficial to eliminate lucky spins, as they increase the chances of making patterns, but that is not the case. Indeed, there are some powerful charms that trigger only after consecutive spins that yield no rewards, and a series of dead spins is more likely to occur without any lucky spins in the mix. Here are details on two charms that reward bad luck, and pairing them with Depression during the early deadlines can lead to some very strong starts:
- Steam Locomotive: Increase all symbols by their base value permanently if the previous 3 spins had no reward.
- Diesel Locomotive: Increase all patterns by their base value permanently if the previous 3 spins had no reward.
To note, builds that are attempting to scale symbols or patterns by minimizing the spins that yield rewards will still need to have the ability to generate a high-scoring spin when they need to make points. The Rotated Hamsa, a charm that grants +7 Luck on the last spin of a round, is a good way to address that need. The Red Shiny Rock, which grants +4 Luck for the spin after pressing the red button, is another good option, and players can even combine it with the Hamsa to have some great final spins.
