Game Mechanics

Topics to explain more about:

• The Ranking system, how the system matches you against other players' builds, draw-wins
• Item activation rules, e.g for Goobert, how Spiked Shield activates on thorn creation and not on each block, and how other items work
• Miss
• Temporary debuffs (like from Lightsaber can be reflected etc),
• Stamina, passive gain, out of stamina
• Dark Reflection
• RNG in the game; damage, item activation speed, ...
• Combat Log explained
• Other frequently asked questions from the discord?
• Some mention of Game Modes? In another page than Game Mechanics though

Inventory Mechanics

Each class starts with 12-14 of 63 total tiles that can be rearranged and rotated which are used to place items in. Purchase Leather Bag, Fanny Pack, Stamina Sack, Potion Belt or Protective Purse from the shop to unlock more tiles. Each item has it's own set tiles configuration and synergies or , that can be found via the item's tooltip, which should be considered when arranging items.

Items can be placed in the Storage but their effects will be inactive until placed in the Inventory.

Shop Mechanics

Players start the game with 12 gold and 25 health and receive additional gold and health at the beginning of each round:

Gold received upon entering the Shop and starting Health for each possible round

Round	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8*	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18
Gold	12	9	9	9	10	10	11	21	12	12	13	13	14	14	15	15	15	15
Health	25	35	45	55	70	85	100	115	130	150	170	190	210	230	260	290	320	350

* Subclass unlocked.

Before the round starts, players can spend their gold on items from the Shop, which offers five items which can be rolled for 1 gold four times and for 2 gold thereafter. Right click an item to lock it "Reserved" to prevent it from being rerolled either manually or at the start of the next round. Each item has a 10% base chance to be on a 50% discount (rounding up) Sale, which is also the sell value of each item. Drag items from the inventory or the storage into the shopkeeper's chest to sell them or from the Shop to the inventory or the storage to buy them.

Items appear randomly in the shop based on a set probability relative to the current round:

Shop Item Chances (%) for each possible round

Round	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12-18
Common	90	84	75	64	45	29	20	20	20	20	20	20
Rare	10	15	20	25	35	40	35	30	28	25	23	20
Epic	0	1	5	10	15	20	25	25	25	25	23	20
Legendary	0	0	0	1	5	10	15	15	15	15	17	20
Godly	0	0	0	0	0	1	5	10	12	15	17	20

Unique items can show up in the shop from round 4. There is a 2% base chance for unique item to appear on shop enter, but not on reroll. You can have only 1 unique item at a time.
