Metoxys: /* List of themes */ added Gloamglow to Mothly

As your [[hero]]es participate in certain specific events, some event outcomes will modify a hero's appearance, abilities, and/or stats. An example of a common theme, also called a '''transformation''', is [[Flamesoul]], where one or more of the hero's limbs can be replaced with fire limbs.

A theme can modify the appearance of (one or more of) a hero's theme slots, possibly through [[Hero#Death_and_Maiming|maiming]]. A hero can have more than one theme (such as Flamesoul, and a [[pet]]), as long as the themes don't conflict with each other.

== Theme slots ==

Theme modifications can include replacing the hero's head, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, or torso. In addition, the hero can gain wings, a tail, or a pet.
Transformation body parts will be randomly offered at chapter intervals or forcibly added if a hero gets [[maim|maimed]].

== Theme skins ==

Some themes have cosmetic variants (which can be unlocked by completing theme-related [[achievement]]s). Once unlocked, they can be chosen in the customize section in the character sheet.

== Theme conflicts ==
{{Main|Theme conflicts guide}}
{{See also|Theme order conflicts guide}}

A hero can have multiple themes as long as the themes do not conflict with each other (see [[Theme conflicts guide]]).

Incompatible themes may be coded, or include transformations that affect the same body part. For example a hero cannot be [[Sylvan]] '''and''' [[Crystalline]], as the facial sylvan tattoo is incompatible with the gem eye. However, a hero could be Sylvan '''and''' [[Spell Touched]], with a Sylvan tattoo and blue skin.

If you recruit a [[legacy]] hero who already has a particular theme, that theme event will not occur in the campaign even if other heroes would be eligible for it. If you wish to have two party members with the same theme, wait to recruit legacy heroes until after your other hero receives the theme.

Weapons

Metoxys: /* Artifact Weapons */ fixed me duplicating an error from the Petriglass Seaspear page

Weapons are the equipment heroes carry in their primary and/or secondary equipment slots. They serve as the primary method for dealing damage to enemies.

== General Information ==
All weapons are either one-handed or two-handed. One-handed weapon types include: crossbows, daggers, dueling swords, swords, axes, maces, and wands. Two-handed weapon types include: bows, greataxes, greatspears, greatswords, hammers, and staves. If a hero loses arm(s) or undergoes some transformation, some of these weapons may not be equipped.

Like all equipment, weapons cannot be transferred or traded among heroes after being assigned.

Generally, a hero can only hold/equip one weapon at a time, but an extra weapon can be stored on the back. Switching weapons in combat is an unlimited free action.

== Weapon Qualities ==
Weapons can be '''basic quality''' (i.e. the randomly generated weapons that you come across during your play), '''elemental quality''' (a stunt effect is added to the weapon), or '''artifact quality''' (named weapons that have set descriptions and stats/abilities). All weapons, regardless of quality, additionally come in tiers representing their general power, usually spanning from Tier 1 (the weakest) to Tier 3 (the full capability of the weapon). An additional bottom tier, Tier 0, is present for certain categories of generic weapons. Weapons of all qualities can be upgraded to higher tiers through the crafting system.

=== Basic Weapons ===
Basic weapons are the most widely available. They are often obtained through random loot, but they can also be crafted with the correct [[resource]]s or using legacy points. Basic weapons typically come with a randomly generated name, but do not offer any additional bonuses beyond what might be normal for a weapon of their type.

Tier 0 weapons are the basic weapons that heroes normally start the game with.

</gallery>
Every once in a while your party might encounter an elemental spirit during a mission (see [[Spirit Captured]] for more information). If you catch it, it can enchant one of the currently wielded weapons of the hero who catches it, or give you a [[legacy point]]. The process of enchanting your currently wielded weapon effectively destroys your old weapon and replaces it with an elemental quality weapon of the same type and tier.

Each element gives a different bonus when a hero [[stunt]]s. The element granted is dependent upon the element of the spirit encountered.

{| class="wikitable"
|'''Fire'''
|Damages up to three nearby enemies.
|-
|'''Water'''
|Refunds one action point. (Can only occur once per turn, stunt damage reduced to 1)
|-
|'''Leaf'''
|Grants two temporary hit points. (This effect can stack)
|-
|'''Stone'''
|Shreds 1 Armour of all enemies in a two tile radius.
|}

Obtaining an enchantment for a specific weapon type unlocks that option in your [[legacy]] when you win a game. Thereafter, you will be able to craft that enchanted weapon type in future games without having to capture another spirit. It is only necessary for a spirit to have created a weapon of that type for you, not for you to have ever used it or even taken it in your possession. This means, for example, that you can tell a fire spirit to enchant your dagger, have it make a fire dagger for you, and then salvage it immediately -- and once you win the [[campaign]] it will nevertheless be unlocked in your [[legacy]].

=== Artifact Weapons ===
Artifact weapons are most notable for their unique bonuses, visual appearances, and the fact that they carry over with a legacy hero into their next story or campaign (rather than being lost as most equipment is). Many are obtained through random drops, but some are available through specific [[event]]s or moments in the main campaigns. They are never available to be crafted, but an already obtained artifact quality weapon can have its tier improved using the crafting system.

== Weapon droprate ==
Artifact vs non-artifact is determined after it knows you're getting a weapon. Every time you get a non-artifact weapon, the chance increases by 0.15. Every time you get an artifact, the chance decreases by 0.5. (So, you're guaranteed an artifact at least every 7 weapons)

The game won't give you an artifact that you already have in the current campaign.

Upbringing

2022-04-05T18:12:21Z

Metoxys: /* All the Bones of Summer */ Updated fixed characters

[[File:Example upbringing.png|frame|right|Example upbringing showing the generated backstory, hooks, and bonus stats]]
'''Upbringing''' is a permanent, unchangeable attribute that is randomly generated for every hero. The upbringing is responsible for defining permanent stat bonuses, the hero's [[Hook|hooks]], and the automatically generated backstory. This system is intended to make every encountered hero unique.

On a technical level, the upbringing consists of an ''origin'', an ''anecdote'' ("dote" for short), and a ''motivation'' ("mote" for short). Each of those parts comes with a defined hook, history tags (defining aspects of the character's backstory, e.g. eccentric, criminal, happy childhood), [[Stat#Personality_Stats|personality stats]] (e.g. leader, flirt, hothead), and [[Stat#Combat-Relevant_Stats|combat- and campaign-relevant stats]] (e.g. health, melee accuracy, charisma). Heroes that are generated as children ([[Chapter#Tidings|joining the party during an interval as they reach adventuring age]]) have their own separate set of origins, meaning that the probabilities for obtaining certain hooks or desired stat combinations is different. Also, a bonus for armor, stunt chance, and/or bonus damage can only be obtained with such a child origin. The game will not allow combinations that would result in duplicates of the same hook. For instance, if a hero is generated with an origin that comes with the Wildheart hook, it is not possible for that hero to have a dote or mote that would also come with the Wildheart hook. In addition, most of the upbringing parts come with so-called forbidden aspects, further making many origin/dote/mote combinations impossible.

This upbringing system results in 1,035,914 unique "regular" hero upbringings and 212,310 unique possible upbringings for children.

=== Upbringing Stats ===
Every origin, dote, and mote has a set of "primeStats" and "storyStats". 
"primeStats" are a list of stats, such as "Speed, Dodge, Melee Accuracy" or "Potency, Warding". The game assigns a bonus for those stats depending on how many primeStats are set for that specific origin/dote/mote. The more primeStats that origin/dote/mote has, the lower the bonus will be for each individual stat. For instance, origin_36 which has the primeStats Ranged Accuracy, Warding, Speed, Dodge, and Melee Accuracy (5 different primeStats) would give a 0.3 bonus to Warding whereas origin_61 which has the primeStats Ranged Accuracy, Warding, and Charisma (3 different primeStats) would give a 0.5 bonus to Warding. 
This means that there is a trade-off, with heroes falling into a spectrum between having a narrow set of very high bonus stats or a very broad selection of comparatively low bonus stats. 
"storyStats" are the aforementioned personality stats. Examples are "35 bookish, 35 snark" or "70 poet".

==== Unique Heroes ====
===== Monarchs Under the Mountain =====
In the [[Monarchs Under the Mountain]] campaign, the "Needs Rescuing" farmer has a unique backstory and the following stats: 
Hooks: Shame, Gritty, Potential 
Potency: +0.2 
In addition, that hero has five bonus stat "slots". These "slots" are filled with a randomly selected stat, with a specific bonus per stat. It is possible for the same stat to fill multiple "slots", giving the same stat bonus multiple times, so there is another trade-off between specialization and broadness. Because of this unique generation method, the farmer can obtain stat combinations that are impossibly high for any other hero if enough "slots" are filled with the same stat. Every stat has an equal chance of filling one of the five "slots" with a probability of 1/15. The personality stats are 1-60 for every stat, plus 30 Leader.

=== Minmaxing randomly generated heroes ===

By continuously using the Reroll button until stumbling upon a rare and desirable stat combination, it is possible to minmax.

Some character builds can greatly benefit from certain upbringing stats. Certain upbringing stat combinations make heroes objectively more or less fit to perform certain roles in combat.

For instance, a hero that is generated with 1.1 Speed and 5 Melee Accuracy bonuses from upbringing could be considered optimally suited for a [[Thornfang]] [[Hunter]] build. A hero that is generated with 10 bonus retirement age is more fit to suit a newly generated [[Warrior]] making it through a long campaign without relying on hook quest retirement age bonuses. A hero with a high Dodge and Block bonus is objectively more fit for using [[Riposte]] than a hero without.

Weapons

2022-04-04T19:25:08Z

Metoxys: /* Artifact Weapons */ Turned vague bonus effect descriptions into useful bonus effect descriptions

Weapons are the equipment heroes carry in their primary and/or secondary equipment slots. They serve as the primary method for dealing damage to enemies.

== General Information ==
All weapons are either one-handed or two-handed. One-handed weapon types include: crossbows, daggers, dueling swords, swords, axes, maces, and wands. Two-handed weapon types include: bows, greataxes, greatspears, greatswords, hammers, and staves. If a hero loses arm(s) or undergoes some transformation, some of these weapons may not be equipped.

Like all equipment, weapons cannot be transferred or traded among heroes after being assigned.

Generally, a hero can only hold/equip one weapon at a time, but an extra weapon can be stored on the back. Switching weapons in combat is an unlimited free action.

== Weapon Qualities ==
Weapons can be '''basic quality''' (i.e. the randomly generated weapons that you come across during your play), '''elemental quality''' (a stunt effect is added to the weapon), or '''artifact quality''' (named weapons that have set descriptions and stats/abilities). All weapons, regardless of quality, additionally come in tiers representing their general power, usually spanning from Tier 1 (the weakest) to Tier 3 (the full capability of the weapon). An additional bottom tier, Tier 0, is present for certain categories of generic weapons. Weapons of all qualities can be upgraded to higher tiers through the crafting system.

=== Basic Weapons ===
Basic weapons are the most widely available. They are often obtained through random loot, but they can also be crafted with the correct [[resource]]s or using legacy points. Basic weapons typically come with a randomly generated name, but do not offer any additional bonuses beyond what might be normal for a weapon of their type.

Tier 0 weapons are the basic weapons that heroes normally start the game with.

=== Elemental Weapons ===

</gallery>
Every once in a while your party might encounter an elemental spirit during a mission (see [[Spirit Captured]] for more information). If you catch it, it can enchant one of the currently wielded weapons of the hero who catches it, or give you a [[legacy point]]. The process of enchanting your currently wielded weapon effectively destroys your old weapon and replaces it with an elemental quality weapon of the same type and tier.

Each element gives a different bonus when a hero [[stunt]]s. The element granted is dependent upon the element of the spirit encountered.

{| class="wikitable"
|'''Fire'''
|Damages up to three nearby enemies.
|-
|'''Water'''
|Refunds one action point. (Can only occur once per turn, stunt damage reduced to 1)
|-
|'''Leaf'''
|Grants two temporary hit points. (This effect can stack)
|-
|'''Stone'''
|Shreds 1 Armour of all enemies in a two tile radius.
|}

Obtaining an enchantment for a specific weapon type unlocks that option in your [[legacy]] when you win a game. Thereafter, you will be able to craft that enchanted weapon type in future games without having to capture another spirit. It is only necessary for a spirit to have created a weapon of that type for you, not for you to have ever used it or even taken it in your possession. This means, for example, that you can tell a fire spirit to enchant your dagger, have it make a fire dagger for you, and then salvage it immediately -- and once you win the [[campaign]] it will nevertheless be unlocked in your [[legacy]].

=== Artifact Weapons ===
Artifact weapons are most notable for their unique bonuses, visual appearances, and the fact that they carry over with a legacy hero into their next story or campaign (rather than being lost as most equipment is). Many are obtained through random drops, but some are available through specific [[event]]s or moments in the main campaigns. They are never available to be crafted, but an already obtained artifact quality weapon can have its tier improved using the crafting system.

== Weapon droprate ==
Artifact vs non-artifact is determined after it knows you're getting a weapon. Every time you get a non-artifact weapon, the chance increases by 0.15. Every time you get an artifact, the chance decreases by 0.5. (So, you're guaranteed an artifact at least every 7 weapons)

The game won't give you an artifact that you already have in the current campaign.

[[File:Example upbringing.png|frame|right|Example upbringing showing the generated backstory, hooks, and bonus stats]]
'''Upbringing''' is a permanent, unchangeable attribute that is randomly generated for every hero. The upbringing is responsible for defining permanent stat bonuses, the hero's [[Hook|hooks]], and the automatically generated backstory. This system is intended to make every encountered hero unique.

On a technical level, the upbringing consists of an ''origin'', an ''anecdote'' ("dote" for short), and a ''motivation'' ("mote" for short). Each of those parts comes with a defined hook, history tags (defining aspects of the character's backstory, e.g. eccentric, criminal, happy childhood), [[Stat#Personality_Stats|personality stats]] (e.g. leader, flirt, hothead), and [[Stat#Combat-Relevant_Stats|combat- and campaign-relevant stats]] (e.g. health, melee accuracy, charisma). Heroes that are generated as children ([[Chapter#Tidings|joining the party during an interval as they reach adventuring age]]) have their own separate set of origins, meaning that the probabilities for obtaining certain hooks or desired stat combinations is different. Also, a bonus for armor, stunt chance, and/or bonus damage can only be obtained with such a child origin. The game will not allow combinations that would result in duplicates of the same hook. For instance, if a hero is generated with an origin that comes with the Wildheart hook, it is not possible for that hero to have a dote or mote that would also come with the Wildheart hook. In addition, most of the upbringing parts come with so-called forbidden aspects, further making many origin/dote/mote combinations impossible.

This upbringing system results in 1,035,914 unique "regular" hero upbringings and 212,310 unique possible upbringings for children.

=== Upbringing Stats ===
Every origin, dote, and mote has a set of "primeStats" and "storyStats". 
"primeStats" are a list of stats, such as "Speed, Dodge, Melee Accuracy" or "Potency, Warding". The game assigns a bonus for those stats depending on how many primeStats are set for that specific origin/dote/mote. The more primeStats that origin/dote/mote has, the lower the bonus will be for each individual stat. For instance, origin_36 which has the primeStats Ranged Accuracy, Warding, Speed, Dodge, and Melee Accuracy (5 different primeStats) would give a 0.3 bonus to Warding whereas origin_61 which has the primeStats Ranged Accuracy, Warding, and Charisma (3 different primeStats) would give a 0.5 bonus to Warding. 
This means that there is a trade-off, with heroes falling into a spectrum between having a narrow set of very high bonus stats or a very broad selection of comparatively low bonus stats. 
"storyStats" are the aforementioned personality stats. Examples are "35 bookish, 35 snark" or "70 poet".

==== Unique Heroes ====
===== Monarchs Under the Mountain =====
In the [[Monarchs Under the Mountain]] campaign, the "Needs Rescuing" farmer has a unique backstory and the following stats: 
Hooks: Shame, Gritty, Potential 
Potency: +0.2 
In addition, that hero has five bonus stat "slots". These "slots" are filled with a randomly selected stat, with a specific bonus per stat. It is possible for the same stat to fill multiple "slots", giving the same stat bonus multiple times, so there is another trade-off between specialization and broadness. Because of this unique generation method, the farmer can obtain stat combinations that are impossibly high for any other hero if enough "slots" are filled with the same stat. Every stat has an equal chance of filling one of the five "slots" with a probability of 1/15. The personality stats are 1-60 for every stat, plus 30 Leader.

=== Minmaxing randomly generated heroes ===

By continuously using the Reroll button until stumbling upon a rare and desirable stat combination, it is possible to minmax.

Some character builds can greatly benefit from certain upbringing stats. Certain upbringing stat combinations make heroes objectively more or less fit to perform certain roles in combat.

For instance, a hero that is generated with 1.1 Speed and 5 Melee Accuracy bonuses from upbringing could be considered optimally suited for a [[Thornfang]] [[Hunter]] build. A hero that is generated with 10 bonus retirement age is more fit to suit a newly generated [[Warrior]] making it through a long campaign without relying on hook quest retirement age bonuses. A hero with a high Dodge and Block bonus is objectively more fit for using [[Riposte]] than a hero without.

* Prior to [[Patch_notes#1.6.2B399_Edina_Gramling|version 1.6]] of the game, Vine Legs provided +5 Dodge and -0.3 Speed. The high dodge and ranged transformation attack made Botanical a favorite for [[Dodge]] build Hunters which aim to stack enough Dodge and [[Block]] to be missed by all attacks that are not [[Flanking]], allowing the hunter to retaliate safely with [[Archery]] and [[Riposte]] attacks. Due to the limited range of transformation attacks, [[Sharpshooter]] and [[Long Reach]] were highly suggested for these builds. Other dodge boosting themes and items include [[Crowtouched]] wings, the pet [[Duck]], and the [[Night Shard]] weapon.
