⚔️ Continuous-Time Combat System

Combat uses a continuous-time event scheduler where items fire based on individual cooldowns (seconds). Faster items attack more frequently! Haste reduces cooldowns (higher % = faster attacks). Each item's effective cooldown = base_cooldown / (1 + haste%), clamped to minimum floors below.

Minimum Item Cooldown (s) Fastest possible cooldown for normal items (size < 2). Default: 0.5s. Items can't attack faster than this even with max haste. Heavy Item Min Cooldown (s) Fastest cooldown for heavy items (size ≥ 2, weapons, or "heavy" tag). Default: 1.0s. Prevents large weapons from becoming too fast.

Haste & Diminishing Returns

Haste reduces item cooldowns, making you attack faster. Haste uses diminishing returns (DR): values below the soft cap pass through unchanged, but excess haste is reduced by the DR slope. This prevents infinite scaling while keeping early haste valuable.

Max Haste Percent (0-1) [Hard Cap] Absolute maximum haste (0.75 = 75% = 1.75x attack speed). No amount of haste can exceed this ceiling. Default: 0.75 Haste DR Start (0-1) [Soft Cap] Haste below this value passes through unchanged (0.40 = 40%). Above this, DR kicks in. Default: 0.40

Haste DR Slope (0-1) [DR Strength] How strongly DR reduces excess haste (0.5 = 50% reduction). Higher = harsher penalties past soft cap. Formula: soft_cap + (excess × slope). Default: 0.5 Flat Haste per Second Haste gained per second of battle time (0.015 = 1.5%/s). Makes fights speed up over time. Applied before DR. Default: 0.15

Example: With soft cap 40%, slope 0.5, max 75%: 30% haste → 30% (below soft cap), 50% haste → 45% (10% excess × 0.5 = 5% added to 40%), 100% haste → 70% (capped by max 75%).

Shield Decay System

Shield Decay Window (s) Tracks how far back we look for overlapping shields. Casts within this window count toward the decay stack.

Shield Decay Penalty (per stack, 0-1) Each extra shield applied before the window expires loses this fraction of its power (e.g. 0.15 = −15% per overlapping cast). Shield Power Share (0-1)

Quick reference for all available status effects and how to use them in item/ability effects.

🔥 Damage Effects

damage

{"type": "damage", "power": 10, "damage_type": "radiant", "pierce": 0.5}

Direct damage to target. Optional damage_type values include radiant (defaults to 50% piercing) and psychic (100% piercing). You can also specify pierce/pierce_pct (0–1) to send that fraction of the damage straight to HP.

dot (Damage Over Time)

{"type": "dot", "power": 5, "duration": 3, "status": "burn"}

Applies burn/poison damage over time. Status can be "burn", "poison", or omitted (auto-detects from tags).

necrotic (NEW)

{"type": "necrotic", "power": 10, "threshold": 50, "reduction": 10}

Accumulates necrotic stacks. After reaching threshold (default 50), reduces max HP by reduction amount (default 10) and resets stacks to 0. Can trigger multiple times per fight. Healing removes reduced max HP at 50% efficiency. Cleanse clears stacks.

lifesteal

{"type": "lifesteal", "power": 8, "damage_type": "psychic"}

Deals damage and heals actor for the amount dealt. Supports damage_type/pierce the same way as regular damage.

next_activation_buff / next_activation_debuff

{"type": "next_activation_buff", "target": "damage", "value": 4, "stacks": 2}
{"type": "next_activation_debuff", "target": "heal", "mode": "percent", "value": -0.25}

Queues bonuses or penalties for the next N activations of the matching effect type (damage/heal/shield/lifesteal/dot). `value` can be flat or, when `mode`=`percent`, a multiplier (0.25 = +25%). `stacks` controls how many future activations consume the modifier.

💚 Healing & Defense

heal

{"type": "heal", "power": 15}

Restores HP. Also removes necrotic max HP reduction at 50% efficiency (rounded down).

block (Shield)

{"type": "block", "power": 20, "duration": 2}

Grants shield that absorbs damage for specified duration

cleanse

{"type": "cleanse"}

Removes all DoT effects and necrotic stacks (does NOT remove max HP reduction)

⚡ Speed Effects (UPDATED)

haste_pct / haste_percent


            Global: {"type": "haste_pct", "power": 0.5, "duration": 2}

            Targeted: {"type": "haste_pct", "power": 0.15, "duration": 3, "count": 2}

Global (count omitted): Affects all cooldowns
Targeted (count specified): Affects N random items
Reduces cooldown time by percentage (0.5 = 50% faster). Same percentages stack duration, different percentages tracked separately.

slow


            Global: {"type": "slow", "power": 0.5, "duration": 2}

            Targeted: {"type": "slow", "power": 0.3, "duration": 4, "count": 3}

Global (count omitted): Affects all cooldowns
Targeted (count specified): Affects N random items
Increases cooldown time by percentage (0.5 = 50% slower). Same percentages stack duration, different percentages tracked separately.

haste (Legacy)

{"type": "haste", "power": 2}

Instantly reduces ALL item cooldowns by N seconds (legacy system, use haste_pct for new items)

🧊 Control Effects (UPDATED)

freeze


            Single: {"type": "freeze", "duration": 2, "count": 1}

            Multiple: {"type": "freeze", "duration": 3, "count": 3}

            All: {"type": "freeze", "duration": 2, "count": "all"}

Prevents item usage. Count: 1 = single random item, N = N random items, "all" = all items

stun

{"type": "stun", "duration": 1}

Prevents target from taking any actions for duration

✨ Special Effects

multicast

{"type": "multicast", "count": 2}

Repeats all other effects on the item N additional times (affected by fusion multiplier)

💡 Pro Tips

Decimal Cooldowns: Items now support decimal cooldowns (e.g., 1.5 seconds)
Stacking Rules: For haste/slow, same percentage values extend duration, different percentages tracked separately
Targeted vs Global: Omit "count" parameter for global effects, specify "count" for targeted effects
Necrotic Counters: Use healing (restores 50% of reduced max HP) or cleanse (removes stacks)
Effect Bonuses: damage/dot/lifesteal scale with damage_bonus meta, heal scales with heal_bonus
