Combolands potions can manipulate the map and change how a difficult placement is solved. The supplied research confirms the system and records three historical Demo examples, but it does not prove that those examples are the complete release list. This Combolands potions database keeps those two evidence levels separate.
Version boundary: historical Demo effects are observations from that build, not fixed v1.0.4 rules.
Confirmed role
The Steam description presents potions as map-control tools. Use the current item text and preview as the final authority. A potion is most valuable when it solves a concrete bottleneck: a terrain conflict, a missing bridge in a trigger chain, an unusable draw or a reward that does not fit the board.
Historical Demo examples
Demo v9 notes described three broad effect patterns: directing the next building blueprint, allowing the next building to be placed in an otherwise invalid position, and improving the rarity of the next reward. These examples are useful as a verification checklist only. They are not presented as the full release inventory.
Database fields
| Field | What to capture | | --- | --- | | Exact potion name | Release UI wording and icon. | | Effect text | Full condition, target and duration. | | Availability | Where it appears and what progression state is required. | | Cost or limit | Only the current build value, with version date. | | Map interaction | The terrain or placement rule it changes. | | Follow-up result | Whether the expected preview matches the actual placement. |
Practical timing checks
Before spending a potion, identify the specific constraint it removes and the next two placements it enables. After use, compare the preview with the resolved board. Launch patches corrected several preview and trigger relationships, so a historical guide should never override current card text.

What remains pending
The complete release potion list, names, values, rarity and acquisition paths are not established by the supplied sources. No complete database or fixed numeric table is published here yet.
