The Empress is a Tarot card that allows the player to enhance two cards into 
Mult Cards ({{mult|+4}} Mult Card.png).
Usage Notes
- The
Bram Poker ( ) challenge starts the player with a copy of The Empress.
- The Fragile ( ) challenge bans The Empress.
- When using The Empress on a face-down card, the card will briefly flip over and be revealed. This can be helpful on Boss blinds such as
The Fish ( Boss The Fish.png) and 
The Wheel ( Boss The Wheel.png).
- When facing
The Pillar ( Boss The Pillar.png), using The Empress on a debuffed card will make it a "new" card and thus no longer debuffed.
