What are Tarot Whispers in Sword of Convallaria?
You can think of Tarot Whispers as the artifact equivalent of Genshin Impact in Sword of Convallaria. These are items that go in the third gear slot, and they come with different effects as well as stat upgrades that are randomized.
Unlike weapons and Trinkets, the stat upgrades on Tarot Whispers are not fixed, and you’ll unlock them as you level them up. In addition to that, if you have fourth Legendary tier substat on a Tarot Whisper, there’s a chance that it’ll allow you to evolve that Tarot Whisper’s passive skill to make it even more powerful. For instance, the Justice Tarot Whisper gives you a 15% boost to your CRIT rate. Once evolved, that percentage increases significantly.
How to Get Tarot Whispers
The main way of getting Tarot Whispers in Sword of Convallaria is by doing your Tarot Residual stages in Crossing Worlds. This gets unlocked after beating chapter 3, and you can farm these everyday to get better Tarot Whispers.
You can also get them by participating in the Clash PvP mode, by progressing Fool’s Journey, and as rewards from the Cornucopia battle pass. However, Tarot Residual will be your main method of farming them as you get to the endgame portion.

Best Tarot Whispers in Sword of Convallaria
Without a doubt, the absolute best Tarot Whispers you should try to farm for are the following:
- Dream of the Magician
- Mercy of the High Priestess
- Silence of the Hermit
- Verdict of Justice
- Temptation of the Devil
These are just all-around good Tarot Whispers that can work well with virtually any character in the game, with the exception of Mercy of the High Priestess, which is just the best-in-slot gear for your healers. Aside from that, everything else is versatile and powerful, and you can’t go wrong with any of those.
The other Tarot Whispers are much more situational and a lot less useful in many situations, so my recommendation would be to focus on the five we’ve listed above.
And that does it for our Sword of Convallaria Tarot Whispers guide. Be sure to search up The Escapist for more tips and information on the game, including our codes list and character tier list.
