Items that require x victory to release something?

The first one is from Simon, 2nd varies.

Since you get Simon rather early, usually first recruit after dragon, you'll get a lot of use from it.

Oh, and just like the other items, Gremlin tower battles don't count.

There's also a skull(in every version so far)that's a bit different but works kind of the same. You have to equip it for X battles, X being what takes it from 100% to 0% charge. You get more rage, but half your mana is gone every battle with it equipped. Once it reaches 0%, it's worth it as it becomes a better skull that gives +5 Intellect AND +5 Attack.Pain Skull becomes Death Skull.

Many thanks for this piece of information bro.
I remember that boring skull from KB:KW. It was pretty hard to keep it equipped while you go to fight with halved mana as a mage, but the blasted thing proved its worth at the end.
