Perk Suggestions

[WaaghMan]

Write here your suggestions for new perk cards. Please try to use the following format to help readability:

Perk name

Number of uses: One shot, Unlimited, Leveleable up to 5

Perk description

[Leezeebub]

Backflip genius - Passive - one level

Can jump twice as high and twice as far, but cannot gain any forward momentum (ie, you must jump backwards).

Crack Addict - Passive - one level

Cracked wall entrances for secret rooms are removed but secret rooms contain 3x rewards.

[VoidInsanity]

Insanity

Passive

You gain infinite mana and cannot change weapons but your equiped weapon changes every shot.

[BreadPit]

Is there a perk list around somewhere? I didn't unlock all the perks yet and it'd be silly to suggest perks that are already in-game :p
Here are some quick ideas though:


Mana Leak

Levelable up to 5

All magic gems give more mana but mana pools slowly deplete over time. (Giving a similiar sense of urgency to move/fight quickly as when playing the Vampire char except it's about mana this time)

Snail Missiles

Levelable up to 5

All missiles move slower but hit a lot harder. Due to it being both a curse and blessing it might be better off as a possible "Divine Indifference" perk though.

Special Snowflake

Levelable up to 5

Increases the chance for champions to spawn but also drastically increases their drops. (more of everything including precious health potions! This might be a fun perk to have solely because champions are fun)

Scaredy Cat

Levelable up to 5

Increases movement speed after being hit for a short time.

... ok, dunno ALL perks available in this games.
Maybe they already exist.

One more minute - passive - leveleable up to 5
When your HP meter fall under 14% (+1 per level) total, you gain 20% (+5 per level) damage and reduce any incoming damage by 50% (fixed).

Warrior soul - passive - leveleable up to 5
Your stick become a sword and shield. No more shooting.
You deal 100% (+20% per level) damage with the sword, no mana expense.
Incoming damage is first dealt to the stick power gauge (hence the shield).
Stick power regenerate 35% (+5% per level) as fast as the normal rate.

Blazing Speed - passive - levelable up to 5

Fresh Start - used on leveling - min player level : 10

[Hibachi]

By the way, a pair of ideas for amulets

Insta kills them, give the player 10HP each.

For a time, you damage and knockback monsters by ramming (sprinting) into them.
Recovery time is reduced for each ennemy damaged this way.

Wizard in the shell

passive, one level

Gives you armor, amount of which is equal to 75% of your maximum health.

Armor cannot be restored with health potions, so when its gone its gone. But you still can pick up potions to restore your normal health if it was not full at the time you picked up armor perk.
Armor slows you down by 15%, and when its gone you get back to your normal speed.

Keymaster

[WaaghMan]

Many thanks for the suggestions. Some of them can be game breaking (Archon), or too hard to properly implement right now (Warrior soul), but there are lots that sound interesting enough :).

I've done a list of perks that we'll try to do in future updates. Some of them are based on your suggestions, others are new ideas.

• Hero (One shot): More champion enemies appear. Increased drop rate for them.
  
• Scaredy cat (One shot): Temporary speed increase when hit.
  
• Berserk (Leveleable): Increase damage when health is below 25%
  
• Elder (One shot): Reduce health, speed and damage dealt. Increase mana regeneration and fire rate.
  
• Sprinter (One shot): Reduce basic movement speed, but sprint movement is increased a lot.
  
• Sensitivity (One shot): Doubles experience obtained, and doubles damage received.
  
• Wrecking ball (Leveleable): Get 2HP per broken object.
  
• Alternative (One shot): Switch primary/alternate fire, and alternate fire mana usage is reduced.
  
• Highlander (One shot): Reduce your max health to 25%, and get health regeneration over time.
  
• Loan shark (Levelable): Score goblets also grant experience.
  
• Erudite (One shot): Lore scrolls grant a Level up when found.
  
• Oracle (One shot): Shrines only give blessings
  
• Equalizer (One shot): Mana crystals fill all 3 types of mana, with reduced effectiveness.
  
• Magic Bond(One shot): One of your equipped weapons is put on the purple mana slot (becoming a wand for most purposes).

Most of these perks are One shot, and there's none Unlimited, so we'll have to think of a few more of that kind. Some help would be appreciated of course :).
