Description
Game flavor: "Luzian cigarettes. Heavy on the tar. Their acrid, unapologetic smell will eternally remind you of Tempo."
The heavyweight Delirium drop on the Portofiran-cigarette spectrum. Delirium -7 / Fatigue +3 — biggest Intellect-cluster cooldown you can get from a pack, biggest Action-cluster cost.
For reference:
- **Ouroboros Black** (Luzian) — Delirium -7 / Fatigue +3 - **[Sturdy Pony](/wiki/characters/sturdy-pony)** (Portofiran) — Delirium -5 / Fatigue +2 - **[Suprema 100s](/wiki/items/suprema-100s)** (Portofiran) — Delirium -3 / Fatigue +1
Smoke Ouroboros when:
- Delirium is at 15+ and you can't risk a skill-point drop in the Intellect cluster. - Fatigue is at 5 or lower — the +3 is real. - You have a make-or-break Records / Cold Read / Grey Matter / Poetics / Technoflex check incoming.
The story layer: Ouroboros Black is also the box [Dante's Exit Papers](/wiki/items/dantes-exit-papers) are hidden inside at the Backways shrine. And the only documented pack is in Tempo del Sur's office. The cigarette is tied to the Tempo plotline — the flavor text says so directly.
