Shakes and fidget руководство

Обновленное гайд по созданию персонажа с кратким описанием способностей класса и списком уровней в конце.

Создание персонажей и список классов

Расы

Доступно восемь рас. Каждая раса оказывает небольшое влияние на стартовые атрибуты, которые в долгосрочной перспективе не имеют значения (и, следовательно, не важны), поэтому выбирайте то, что вам больше нравится.

Стоит также отметить, что вы сможете изменить расу и внешний вид персонажа всего за одно золото в любое время (поэтому выбор не является постоянным).

Классы

Примечание: Бард и Друид будут изменены в ближайшем будущем, поэтому их описание может быть соответствующим образом изменено.

В настоящее время доступно девять классов. В отличие от рас, класс изменить нельзя.

К сожалению, на данный момент классы не полностью сбалансированы (поэтому следующий раздел состоит из списка классов), но я все же предлагаю немного поэкспериментировать, прежде чем выбирать окончательный класс, так как игра особенно гриндовая и потребуются годы, чтобы закончить даже PVE-контент (нет смысла выбирать класс охотника на демонов, если он вам действительно не нравится, даже если сейчас он S-уровня).

Поскольку способности не объясняются подробно на экране создания персонажа, я опишу их кратко.

Воин

• Жизнь: x5
• Урон: x2
• Броня: 50%
• Способность: 25% шанс заблокировать входящую атаку

Разведчик

• Жизнь: x4
• Урон: x2,5
• Броня: 25%
• Способность: 50% шанс уклониться от входящей атаки

Маг

• Жизнь: x2
• Урон: x4,5
• Броня: 10 %
• Способность: Атаки игнорируют броню. Аннулирует способность противника (разведчики не могут уклоняться, воины не могут блокировать, охотники на демонов не могут возрождаться, …). Примечание: Берсеркер является исключением, поскольку он по-прежнему может использовать свою способность против Магов (но также получает х2 урона)

Убийца

• Жизнь: x4
• Урон: как у Разведчика. примечание: Ассасин использует 2 одноручных оружия и атакует дважды за ход. Урон масштабируется так, чтобы он был похож на урон разведчика
• Броня: 25%
• Способность: 50% шанс уклониться от входящей атаки

Боевой маг

• Жизнь: x5
• Урон: x2
• Броня: 50%. примечание: 10% от экипировки и 40% от классовой способности (таким образом, боевой маг всегда будет иметь 40+% брони)
• Способность: в начале стреляет огненным шаром, который наносит до 33% урона HP противник. Не работает против магов или боевых магов

Берсерк

• Жизнь: x4
• Урон: х2,5. примечание: Берсеркер использует 1 одноручное оружие (как воин), но имеет скрытый множитель, делающий его урон равным урону разведчика
• Броня: 25%. примечание: берсерк использует экипировку воина, но значение брони уменьшается вдвое
• Способность: после атаки есть 50% шанс снова атаковать (может делать это бесконечно). примечание: несмотря на формулировку, это то же самое, что и способность уклонения разведчика, за исключением того, что она также работает против магов, что делает Берсеркера действительно сильным средством для зачистки подземелий

Охотник на демонов

• Жизнь: x4
• Урон: x2,5
• Броня: 50%
• Способность: 44% шанс возродиться с 90% HP. После каждого возрождения шансы уменьшаются на 2%, а HP на 10% (1-е возрождение, шанс 44% при 90% HP, 2-е возрождение 42% при 80% HP, … ).

Друид

Друид имеет 3 формы животных на выбор (можно изменить вручную). Каждая форма будет изменять ваши способности и атрибуты. примечание: форма тигра и медведя наносит половину урона магам и бардам.

Орел

• Жизнь: x3
• Урон: x4,5*0,33 (1/3 от магического урона)
• Броня: 10%
• Способность: 50% шанс выполнить атаку махом, наносящую 500% урона . После каждого наскока шанс падает на 5%.

Медведь

• Жизнь: x5
• Урон: x4,5*0,4 (аналогично урону Воина) + бонус
• Броня: 50%
• Способность: 20% шанс заблокировать входящую атаку и бонус к урону на основе недостающего HP %.

Тигр

• Жизнь: x4
• Урон: x4,5*0,56 (аналогично урону разведчика)
• Броня: 25%
• Способность: Запускается в скрытом режиме, с 35% шансом уклониться от входящих атак. После успешного уклонения переключитесь в режим ярости, без шансов уклониться от атак, но с увеличенным критическим уроном и шансами. После критического удара вернитесь в скрытый режим и т. д.

Бард

Бард может играть на 3 разных инструментах (может переключаться между ними вручную). Каждый инструмент имеет разные способности, но атрибуты всегда следующие:

• Жизнь: x2
• Урон: x4,5
• Броня: 25%

Различные инструменты хорошо показаны на следующем снимке экрана:

Какой бы инструмент вы ни использовали, в бою Бард будет играть мелодию каждые 4 раунда. Продолжительность мелодии может варьироваться от 1 до 4 раундов в зависимости от ее уровня (шанс 25% для уровня 1, шанс 50% для уровня 2 и шанс 25% для уровня 3). Соотношение Con/Int также влияет на продолжительность мелодии (если ваше Con составляет >= 75% вашего Int, вы получите несколько бонусных раундов за мелодии, поэтому важно поддерживать достаточно высокое Con).

Сравнение уровней и классов

Прежде чем перейти к списку уровней, важно сделать некоторые предпосылки.

< р>Количество купленных грибов и игровые знания имеют большое влияние на производительность определенного персонажа, поэтому для того, чтобы список уровней имел смысл, он должен основываться на одних и тех же грибах и знаниях.

Есть одно. Главный фактор, который следует учитывать при ранжировании классов: волатильность.

Проще говоря, волатильность класса можно определить по тому, насколько ему повезет победить более сильных противников.

Низкая волатильность выгодна против противников с более низкими характеристиками (и наоборот против противников с более высокими характеристиками). Это означает, что классы с высокой волатильностью будут иметь лучшую производительность в подземельях, таким образом получая больше уровней и характеристик, чем классы с низкой волатильностью (помните: мы рассматриваем те же самые грибы, которые оплачиваются).

Примечание: именно поэтому учитываются только пвп (и одинаковые статы) для сравнения классов недостаточно; с теми же грибами Охотник на Демонов будет прогрессировать намного быстрее, чем Воин, и будет иметь преимущество в уровне и характеристиках.

Уровень

S-ранг: Охотник на Демонов

• Несбалансированный для честных матчей и действительно высокой волатильности, в настоящее время лучший универсал.

A-ранг: Берсерк

< ли>Очень хорошая производительность в подземельях (в основном лучший разведчик, потому что его способность работает против магов). Немного страдает в ПВП против Мага (получает двойной урон, высокая волатильность делает его немного непостоянным).

B-ранг: Счет – Убийца

• Хорошая производительность в подземельях и хорошая согласованность в PvP.

С-ранг: Маг

• Не очень хорош в как в подземельях, так и в PvP.

Ранг D: Воин – Боевой маг

• Их низкая волатильность была бы хороша в PVP против противников с более низкими характеристиками, но их плохая производительность в подземельях затрудняет (читай: дорого) получение этого преимущества.

Уточняется: Друид – Бард

• Эти два класса пересматриваются, поэтому позже они будут добавлены в список уровней.
• В настоящее время у Барда действительно хорошая производительность в подземельях, но он страдает против берсерков в PvP.
• Друид, с другой стороны, имеет хорошую производительность в подземельях в начале игры, но позже страдает от подземелий с высоким HP-Mage.

Please note that this guide is written for players who do not intend to purchase mushrooms with real money.

FAQ[]

Q: How should I spend my mushrooms?[]

A: If you want to increase the amount of quests you can do, you should save it for the gryphon mount (25 mushrooms over 14 days). Gryphon doubles the amount of quests you can do over 14 days. A combination of the raptor/tiger and beer still should not beat the gryphon. Should you have under 25 mushrooms and no mount, then you should buy a raptor or tiger (30% mount).

Q: How should I allocate my stats?[]

A: 1 luck is worth approximately 40% of your primary attribute. 1 Cons is worth approximately 80% of your primary attribute. The other two attributes are worth about 10% of your primary attribute. Allocate points accordingly. Try to keep cons about 60-80% of your primary attribute.

Eg:

If you’re a mage, the importance of stats goes in this order:

Intelligence

Constitution (60 — 80% of your intelligence)

Luck (40% of your intelligence)

Q: What should I buy from the weapon or magic shop?[]

A: Do not purchase any items that cost mushroom(s). Otherwise, always upgrade your current equipment whenever possible selling your old item. It is optimal to buy cons, primary attribute, and eternal life potions whenever they become available.

Q: When should I use potions?[]

A: It’s a good idea to stack them and use them all at the same time to make some progress with dungeons. Otherwise, feel free to use them whenever. Another option is to use them when you get a new one to replace the old one.

Q: Is arena good?[]

A: Arena is fun but it is not a good source of income. Honor does not help your character other than the achievement stats. Just remember to do arena with as little gold as possible.

Q: Should I take quests which give exp or gold?[]

A: It’s recomended to take gold. It makes it easier to buy stats, which are then needed to complete better quests. Taking exp gives will eventually mean less successful quest completions, so it’s not recommended. Take the quests in the following priority: Superior equipment, best gold ratio, dungeon key, low time.

Edit: Some people believe what is written above, but it’s not completely true. EXP always outclasses gold, but if you take quests with high EXP reward only, you will fall behind eventually, leading to losses from low levels. You should keep it balanced.

If you’re going for a «cookie cutter» build, meaning you don’t want to think too much about the missions you do, then you should probably go for the method cited above the edit, since if you keep going for gold your equipment will always keep getting better, meaning that you won’t fail missions or lose to low levels. The only downside to this is that you’re not going the optimal route, but going for the optimal route is a tiring process, you should decide which route you want to go depending on the time you want to allocate to the game.

A2: Going for Exp has always been my #1, with more Exp you achieve a higher level therefore you can unlock higher level items for which you will have the gold to buy them just from the quests in the tavern alone. A good thing to notice here is the weekend events (different every weekend) in the tavern where you can for example obtain more gold on one weekend, on the next one more exp and yes in that scenario I always go for the stuff that is active on the event.

Q: Should I do dungeons higher than my current level?[]

A: Because the epic drops from dungeon monsters are rare (25%), it is expected that you do not get an epic item. Therefore you do not lose much from completing a dungeon earlier than your current level. Try to save the last stage since you are guaranteed an epic drop.

Gameplay[]

(Good guide for the gameplay, but probably too long to read: http://forum.sfgame.us/showthread.php?t=6986) 

Level 1-3: []

(Do not buy a mount yet)

Take the quest that takes the least time. Should there be a tie, take the quest that gives fewer exp. You want to maximize your mushroom chances in the early stages of the game. Upgrade stats accordingly. Note that mounts do not reduce quests below a minute.

Level 4-9:[]

(Save up for the raptor/ tiger mount (-30% quest time))

By now the quests should take a fair amount of time to complete solol it is necessary to reduce the time per quest by using a mount. We will be saving the gryphon mount for another time. For now the raptor mount will suffice. Use above guidelines to take quests but do not use gold to upgrade stats. Once you get 10 gold, buy the raptor.

Level 10-30:[]

Always take the quest that gives a superior item or a dungeon key first.

With gryphon mount: Take the best exp 2.5 minute quest. Otherwise take the quest with the best exp/time ratio.

With raptor mount: Take the quest with the best exp/time ratio.

Level 30+:[]

Keep focusing on high experience quest, the gold gathering will happen anyways

Tips[]

Guilds[]

Try to join a guild with exp/gold bonus as soon as possible starting level 9-10. It drastically improves your questing results. You can do this by clicking hall of fame and then guild. A guild also regularly attacks another guild. The experience is as good as a medium 10 minute quest. This happens twice a day.

From the question of which class to choose, to monstrous dungeons in the pyramids of madness. In this guide you will be walked through until level 110 for a pleasant introduction to Shakes & Fidget.

Character Selection

When creating a character, you can choose one of these classes:

As you can see, the classes differ in their abilities, but they are all about equally good in terms of game balance. After choosing a class, you also have to decide for a race, but that only adds a few attribute points.

The race can also be changed by editing your avatar later in the game. So if these few extra attribute points actually matter to you, you can still adapt the race to your class.

Until level 10, it is quickly explained what to do. After you have created your account, you first validate your email to receive 10 extra mushrooms. You now have a total of 25 mushrooms, of which you then lease the dragon as a mount.

Right at the beginning there are different ways to get XP (before quests). On the one hand you get XP for the first 10 arena battles won, at the same time it is also possible to win XP at the wheel of fortune. You should take advantage of these opportunities before starting with quests to maximize your XP. Once you start with quests, make sure to always select the quest with the highest XP/time ratio. This is the fastest way to progress.

Before level ten, you also save up 25 gold, that is how much the scrapbook later costs in the magic shop. It is important that the magic shop is not visited during this time. This way, the scrapbook can appear with a certain chance without the use of mushrooms.

Level 10: Scrapbook and Dungeon #1

As soon as you reach level ten, you pause the quests for the time being. Now it’s time to start filling the scrapbook.

The items in the shops are only generated when you click on them for the first time. If you do this with level 1, only level 1 items are available in the shop. If you click the magic shop for the first time at level 10, the scrapbook can be offered immediately. If not, it should only cost a few mushrooms until it is finally available.

All defeated opponents including their equipment are added to the scrapbook. In order to fill the scrapbook as quickly as possible, you should look for opponents who are easy to defeat and have filled almost all item slots.

In addition to the items, there are also some achievements in the scrapbook. While some of them can be done right from the start, others can take months to unlock. I can recommend two guides for the achievements:

From level 10 it is also possible to send messages. Use this to ask a strong guild whether they still have an open spot for you. Guilds give big bonuses to gold and experience through adventures.

Finally, the first dungeon key can also be found from level 10 during a quest. In the dungeons you will be confronted with much tougher monsters, at the same time the reward of gold and experience is significantly higher. The reward in the dungeons can also include epic items. These are usually much stronger than those you can get in the shops.

The dungeons are discussed separately in this post. An overview of the level requirements up to level 110 can be found under Dungeons.

Level 25: Fortress

At level 25, the construction of the fortress can be started. The main building is built for 100 gold. All other structures start from there.

The fortress works kind of like a Clash of Clans mini-game, with resource buildings being pulled up that are needed for further expansion. Ultimately, the fortress gives you additional backpack slots, experience points and access to the gems.

Items with sockets are available from level 25 onwards. Gems are gathered in the mine of your fortress and then put into these sockets. This gives your character huge bonuses on his attributes.

You can find a detailed guide about the fortress in this blog post:

Level 50: The Magic Mirror

During adventures you cannot fight in dungeons or in the arena. After all, you can’t split yourself up. However, the magic mirror helps to solve this problem.

From level 50, mirror shards can now drop while quests, which when put together result in the magic mirror. So you can go on an adventure while your mirror image faces the dungeon monsters or arena opponents. The mirror consists of 13 shards (coincidence?) that have to be found and dragged onto your avatar. It can take up to level 70-75 to collect them all.

After that, it is much more pleasant to progress with the scrapbook, since you don’t have to wait for the quests to finish. You can also earn more gold, because the same applies to the city guard: While your character is on guard, the mirror image can fight in the arena or dungeons.

Level 66: The Witch

The inconspicuous book» in the magic shop brings you to the witch. Scrolls can be purchased there that add important effects to your equipment. For a complete guide to the upgrades and how to get them, check out this blog post:

Level 75: Pets

At level 75, a nest full of eggs can be found during quests. You can then get to your pets via the stable. There they can be fed and pet fights can be carried out. There are five pet habitats in total:

• Shadow — Fruit: Blackberry (Bonus on Constitution)
• Light — Fruit: Lemon (Bonus on Dexterity)
• Earth — Fruit: Apple (Bonus on Intelligence)
• Fire — Fruit: Strawberry (Bonus on Luck)
• Water — Fruit: Plum (Bonus on Strength)

For each pet of a specific habitat found, you receive a pack bonus of 1% on the corresponding attribute. So if you have 5 pets of the water habitat, your character gets a 5% bonus to the strength attribute.

As soon as a pet level reaches level 100, the character receives another 0,5% bonus on the corresponding attribute. This increases further to 1% at the maximum level 200.

To unlock the pets, the corresponding pet must first be defeated in the habitat. This pet’s egg can then be found during a quest. Each pet has certain conditions that must be met (time of day, day of the week, season, quest area, etc.). You can also see the conditions if you move the mouse over a locked pet.

Various fruits can be found during quests, with which the pets are fed and improved. If you win habitat battles, you will get a fruit of the habitat aswell.

You can also have up to five pet fights a day against other players’ pets. The reward for winning a fight is also a fruit. Up to three fruits can be fed to a pet per day.

In another post about Shakes & Fidget you will find the optimal strategy for feeding your pets efficiently:

Level 85: The Holy Grail

The holy grail makes filling up the scrapbook much easier for you. The grail can be found in the gem mine from level 85, instead of a gem.

If you activate the Grail, missing items from the scrapbook will now be highlighted. This affects the items in the shops, as well as the items of all characters in the hall of fame.

Level 90: The Blacksmith

As soon as the character reaches level 90, he gets access to the blacksmith. You can get to it by clicking on the obscure pommel in the weapon shop. The blacksmith offers the following services:

• Provide items with a socket
• Remove gem from the socket
• Improve attributes of items
• Dismantling items for resource extraction
• Change the look of epic items
• Swap rune bonus of two items

In order to use the blacksmith, some items must first be dismantled. Up to five items per day can be dismantled into their components. You will be credited with metal and arcane resources. Normal items give a lot of metal, while epic items bring a balanced mix of metal and arcane resources.

These resources can now be used to upgrade your items. An item can carry up to twenty upgrades, with each additional upgrade becoming more expensive. When an item with upgrades is sold, the player receives back all invested resources.

Level 99: The Demon Portal

As soon as you reach level 99, you can also enter the demon portal in addition to the usual dungeons. Here you will face an overwhelming opponent whom you can only fight once per day.

The damage done to the opponent is remained. However, the monster regenerates 10% of its hit points every day at midnight. If you are actually able to defeat your opponent, you will receive 1% bonus hit points for your character. A total of 50 enemies are hidden behind the portal, which corresponds to a total hit points bonus of 50%.

From level 99, the guild’s demon portal will also open for you. Here you can fight against even stronger opponents. As with the dungeon demon portal, the opponent regenerates 10% of his health every day. If you defeat the opponent, the entire guild receives a damage bonus of 1%. This bonus also increases to a maximum of 50%.

Level 100: The Toilet of the Arcane Gods

From level 100 it is possible to find the key to the toilet during a quest. An item can be thrown into the toilet every day to fill up the mana tank a little further. Depending on which item is thrown into the tank, it fills up faster:

• 50 mana: epic item
• 30 mana: gem
• 25 mana: normal item
• 10 mana: potion

When the tank is finally full, the toilet can be flushed. This increases the aura by one level and the gods grant you a (possibly epic) item.

Each level of the aura increases the quality of the items in the shops by 1, at the same time a little more mana is required for the next flush.

Level 105: Arena Manager

At level 105, clicking on the coin in the arena leads to the arena manager. Here you are no longer the gladiator in the ring, but the manager of your own arena. This mini-game is about increasing the arena’s income by expanding the seats and offers of the arena.

Once enough revenue is earned, the entire arena can be sacrificed for a few runes, and the game starts over. However, this time a little faster: Each rune brings a 5% bonus to the arena income.

From 1000 runes collected, the stores can also offer rune-enhanced items for your character. With this you get e.g. bonuses on damage dealt, hit points, gold, or experience to name a few.

In the detailed guide to the arena manager you can find out more about the various bonuses and strategies for the fastest possible progress:

Поговорим о вещах, связанных с рейдами на вражеские замки в shakes and fidget.

Перед атакой вы располагаете развед-данными о защитниках крепости и вероятной добыче.

Кроме того, в зависимости от кол-ва выбранных солдат, вы получаете прогноз на исход битвы. На скриншоте сверху — вам потребуется всего 1 солдат для атаки, а на следующем скриншоте он неблагоприятен, даже если отправить всех имеющихся солдат.

В случае плохого прогноза, у вас есть несколько вариантов действия:

• Сменить противника. Это можно делать бесплатно каждые 5 минут.
• Отправить 1 солдата, проиграть, но при этом вам покажут следующего противника. Который, возможно, окажется вам по силам.
• Подождать, когда подготовятся дополнительные рекруты, проверить прогноз или снова вернуться к первым вариантам.

Подводные камни

Кейс — только маги

Всё кажется относительно просто: вы знаете прогноз, и можете «листать» противников тем или иным способом. Но обратите внимание, что кол-во магов-защитников не указано.

Если вас ожидает «полный комплект» вражеский войск, то скорее всего кол-во магов равно половине кол-ва лучников. При этом прогноз практически никогда не врет.

Но если в защите только маги, прогноз оказывается неверным, и вам придется самому угадывать нужное кол-во солдат, требуемых для успешной атаки.

Отправка одного солдата

Как я упомянул — вы можете сменить противника, отправив только одного солдата. Для армии это небольшая потеря, а вам не нужно ждать пять минут для бесплатной смены противника.

Но при этом вас могут контратаковать. Особенность контратаки заключается в том, что она возможна, даже если включена т.н. защита. Но в этом случае, вы потеряете только ресурсы, накопленные в шахтах.

Награды

Если в начале игры вы атакуете противника в основном для достижения ачивок:

То позднее — это способ добыть ресурсы для строительства, т.к. шахты добывают очень мало, а постройки требуют всё больше и больше дерева и камня.

Немного о защите собственной крепости

Даже обладая мощными стенами и отрядом защитников, вы будете защищены только от точно такого такого же отряда нападающих (по кол-ву и уровню). Стена конечно же даёт вам небольшое преимущество, но если вы не топовый игрок на сервере, то вас обязательно «вынесут».

При этом вы потеряете как ресурсы, так и защитников крепости. А чем круче защитники, тем дороже они стоят в пересчете на те же ресурсы, которые вы пытаетесь сохранить.

А т.к. успешный рейд против вас все равно неизбежен — то тратить ресурсы на защитные войска почти не имеет смысла.

Потому я рекомендую два сценария защиты, оба из которых исключают строительство лучников. В первом варианте — вы вообще не строите защитников (только стена), а во втором — рекрутируете только магов (+ стена), кол-во которых при штурме неизвестно вашему противнику.

Up to date guide on character creation, with a brief description of class abilities and a class tierlist at the end.

Races

There are eight races available. Each race has a small impact on starting attributes, which is irrelevant in the long run (and, thus, non-important), so choose whichever you prefer.

It’s also worth noting that you will be able to change race and character appearance for just one gold, anytime you would like to (so the choice is not permanent).

Classes

Note: Bard and Druid are going to be modified in the near future, so their description may be changed accordingly.

Currently, there are nine classes available. Contrary to races, class cannot be changed.

Unfortunately, classes are not completely balanced at the moment (which is why the next section consists of a class tierlist), but I still suggest to experiment a bit before choosing a definitive class, since the game it’s particularly grindy and it will take years to finish even PVE content (no point in picking the Demon Hunter class if you really dislike it, even if it is S-tier right now).

Since abilities are not explained throughly in the character creation screen, I will describe them briefly.

Warrior

• Life: x5
• Damage: x2
• Armor: 50%
• Ability: 25% chance to block an incoming attack

Scout

• Life: x4
• Damage: x2,5
• Armor: 25%
• Ability: 50% chance to evade an incoming attack

Mage

• Life: x2
• Damage: x4,5
• Armor: 10%
• Ability: Attacks ignore armor. Nullifies opponent’s ability (Scouts cannot evade, Warriors cannot block, Demon Hunters cannot revive, … ). Note: Berserker is an exception since it can still use its ability against Mages (but also take x2 damage)

Assassin

• Life: x4
• Damage: Similar to Scout. note: Assassin uses 2 one-handed weapons and attacks twice per turn. Damage is scaled so that it’s similar to Scout damage
• Armor: 25%
• Ability: 50% chance to evade an incoming attack

Battle Mage

• Life: x5
• Damage: x2
• Armor: 50%. note: 10% from equip and 40% from class ability (so Battle Mage will always have 40+% armor)
• Ability: at the start, shoots a fireball that deals up to 33% HP damage to the opponent. It doesn’t work against Mages or Battle Mages

Berserker

• Life: x4
• Damage: x2,5. note: Berserker uses 1 one-handed weapon (like a warrior) but has an hidden multiplier that makes its damage equal to the Scout
• Armor: 25%. note: Berserker uses Warrior equip but the armor value is cut in half
• Ability: After an attack has a 50% chance to attack again (can do this indefinitely). note: despite the wording it’s the same as Scout evading ability, except that it also works against Mages, making Berserker really strong for clearing dungeons

Demon Hunter

• Life: x4
• Damage: x2,5
• Armor: 50%
• Ability: 44% chance to revive with 90% HP. After each revive, chances decrease by 2% and HP by 10% (1st revive, 44% chance with 90% HP, 2nd revive 42% with 80% HP, … ).

Druid

Druid has 3 animals form to choose from (can be changed manually). Each form will modify your abilities and attributes. note: tiger and bear form deals half damage against Mages and Bards.

Eagle

• Life: x3
• Damage: x4,5*0,33 (1/3 of Mage damage)
• Armor: 10%
• Ability: 50% chance to perform a swoop attack that deals 500% damage. After each swoop, the chance drop by 5%.

Bear

• Life: x5
• Damage: x4,5*0,4 (similar to Warrior damage) + bonus
• Armor: 50%
• Ability: 20% chance to block an incoming attack and a bonus to damage based on the missing HP %.

Tiger

• Life: x4
• Damage: x4,5*0,56 (similar to Scout damage)
• Armor: 25%
• Ability: Starts in Hidden mode, with 35% chance to evade incoming attacks. After a successful dodge switch to Rage mode, with no chance of evading attacks but increased crit damage and chances. After a crit, switch back to Hidden mode and so on.

Bard

Bard can play 3 different instruments (can change between them manually). Each instrument has different abilities, but attributes are always the following:

• Life: x2
• Damage: x4,5
• Armor: 25%

The different instruments are well explained in the following screenshot:

Whichever instrument you are going to use, in combat the Bard will play a tune every 4 rounds. The length of the tune can go from 1 to 4 rounds depending on its level (25% chance for level 1, 50% chance for level 2 and 25% chance for level 3). Con / Int ratio also has an effect on tune length (if your Con is >= 75% of you Int you will get some bonus rounds for the tunes, so it’s important to keep Con high enough).

Tierlist and Class Comparison

Before jumping on the tierlist, it’s important to make some premises.

The amount of mushrooms bought and the game knowledge have a big impact on the performance of a certain character, so for a tierlist to make sense it has to be based on the same mushroomspaid and knowledge.

There is one main factor to consider to rank classes: volatility.

Simply put, the volatility of a class can be determined by how lucky it can get to beat stronger opponents.

Low volatility is advantageous against opponents with lower stats (and the opposite against opponents with higher stats). This means that classes with high volatility will have a better dungeon performance, thus gaining more levels and stats than low volatility classes (remember: we are considering the same mushrooms paid).

Note: that is why considering only pvp (and same stats) to compare classes is not sufficient; with the same mushrooms a Demon Hunter will progress much faster than a Warrior and will have level and stats advantage.

Tierlist

S-rank: Demon Hunter

• Unbalanced for fair matchups and really high volatility, currently the best all-rounder.

A-rank: Berserker

• Very good dungeon performance (basically a better scout because its ability works against mages). Suffers a bit in PVP against Mage (takes double damage, the high volatility makes it a bit inconsistent).

B-rank: Scount – Assassin

• Good dungeon performance and ok consistency in PVP.

C-rank: Mage

• Not very good in both dungeons and PVP performance.

D-rank: Warrior – Battle Mage

• Their low volatility would be good in PVP against opponents with lower stats, but their bad dungeon performance makes it difficult (read: expensive) to gain that advantage.

TBD: Druid – Bard

• These two classes are under revision, so they will be added to the tierlist later on.
• Currently, Bard has really good dungeon performance but suffers against Berserkers in PVP.
• Druid on the other hand has good dungeon performance in early game, suffers later on against high-HP-Mage dungeons.
