Switchbait

Description
Switchbait fires a shot that deals damage equal to the written damage of the other spell in your slot, without consideration for multi-hits. For example, a 1x8 damage spell would result in a Switchbait hit of 1, not 8.

Strategy and Synergy
This spell is best used in a deck with a spell that deals a lot of damage with one shot, but costs a lot or has a drawback, like. This makes Switchbait one of the best spells in the game for speedrunning. It combos well with, the starting spells of Solo Saffron. It can essentially be used with any spell that deals high damage. Other examples would be, or even , if you have a lot of shield.

Due to the high power level of Switchbait, and the reliance it has on having a specific other spell in your other slot at the same time, it lends itself very well to thinner decks.

Fling can help provide greater consistency in finding the cards you want alongside Switchbait, and Fling tends to synergize with similar cards, however if the two are found together neither is a good cast - making it somewhat awkward in some scenarios.
