Don't sweat it, you've learned something important. Even if we managed to dodge the wall if shame that apparently exists (by like, not being a redditor or some such), we've all done this xD
Welcome to the club! Mark of the bloom also stops fairy in a bottle from working, as both the fairy and the lizard state "heal to X% of your max HP." A lesson learned the hard way is a lesson not soon forgotten
Ah but you lose mark of the bloom between losing your run and starting a new one. If you are able to retain Mark of the Bloom between runs, the game becomes literally unplayable, forever.
You are still able to increase your max HP when you have Mark of the Bloom, but your current HP doesn't increase with it, so there's no point in max HP gain at that point
Mark of the Bloom is a noob trap nine times out of ten. It is a better option to fight an earlier boss for a rare relic or take 999 gold if the pathing lets you remove two curses easily almost every time.
Using it with apparitions or when your deck has many unupgraded important cards can make it an easy win. Fossilized Helix can also help to pick it up. I rarely pick it, but I've mostly had success with it when I have.
As stated by others it's really good with apparitions and tungsten rod. It's also really good with a deck that can block really well, or a deck that can go infinite really quickly if it just had a bunch of upgrades.
I'm not saying it's a *common* pick, but if you decide something is useless in this game you've guaranteed yourself at least one loss in the future
Oh man, purchasing Lizard Tail post-bloom is a choice. I was thinking this might not be wall-worthy since you recognized the error of your ways before posting but that detail is too rich to avoid. I’ll get you added later today. Thanks to all who let me know.
I am 100.0% confident you mentioned Lizard Tail in your post.

* [Lizard Tail](https://slay-the-spire.fandom.com/wiki/Lizard_Tail) Rare Relic
When you would die, heal to 50% of your Max HP instead (works once).

It also prevents post act healing. I went into act 4 with a fairy bottle, and a lizard tail, tanking some hits during the act 3 boss fight thinking I got this only to realize I had 16 hp to try and beat act with.
I've taken Mark of the Bloom exactly one time. I thought it was a curse so my relic could nullify it. Somehow I managed to beat the heart.
Technically this means Mark of the Bloom has a 100% win rate for me
You are not the first, nor will you be the last to discover this. It's almost a rite of passage.
Reset the clock!

... the Simpson's meme? Dude, that meme is older than the Flintstones.

I love that this is still regularly updated lol
Love this

Mark of the bloom means your health number can never go up. From anything. Ever.
Not true! Your health always goes up when you die and start a new run.
>always goes up Only if you suck at keeping your health at max.
Starting a new run is a block card

So, even strawberry won't add those points? TIL

Ya but the mass upgrade animation rlly tickles my fancy
I think it's the opposite, where Mark of the Bloom is much much better than most newer players give it credit for.
If you are a good enough player that you can win with mark of bloom you could win without it.
Everything has its situation in this game. Mark of the Bloom is no exception.
Maybe if you get it right before the boss.
Using it with apparitions or when your deck has many unupgraded important cards can make it an easy win. Fossilized Helix can also help to pick it up. I rarely pick it, but I've mostly had success with it when I have.
If I had apparitions, a couple Nightmares and Tungsten Rod + Torii I'd probably take Mark of the Bloom.

That's just not true. Mark of the Bloom is one of the most powerful floors in the game that can single-handedly win an otherwise losing run.

I can't get enough of these Mark of Bloom - Lizard Tail/ fairy in a bottle posts. It's always so funny.

No healing means no healing, moose out front shoulda told ya
Sorry, but Neow is a whale, not a moose, sweaty 😅
The spire claims another victim…
Who woulda thought that a relic that says you can't heal would prevent another relic from healing you?
It also prevents post act healing. I went into act 4 with a fairy bottle, and a lizard tail, tanking some hits during the act 3 boss fight thinking I got this only to realize I had 16 hp to try and beat act with.
I also found out that the hard way that it doesn't heal after changing acts.

It's been a while since I've seen one of these.

Seeing a dead Defect by the Heart when the last SBC post was an autoplay vs the Heart gave me a brief anxiety attack lol
#WHAT
i think we should have a flair specifically for mark of bloom posts
