Orchid Mod

The Orchid Mod aims to add content to the game in polished and refreshing ways. You will not find the usual vanilla class items here, as the content Orchid Mod provides is based on new classes with unique and complex mechanics.

- Adds a bunch of new items, focused mainly on prehardmode Thorium Mod Cross-Content.


The Orchid Mod currently adds one (and a half) new classes: the Guardian and the Shapeshifter.

These new classes are aimed at experienced players, looking for a refreshing way of playing the game. They can be considerably harder to play than vanilla classes, and might require some dedication to achieve a desirable damage output.

The Guardian is a living wall, using heavy Pavises, Gauntlets, Quarterstaves and devastating Warhammers to crush their foes and defend themselves.
Unique Runes will provide the player with long lasting damage, and Standards will provide usefull effects in battle.

Weapons are tied to unique Slam and Block resources that should be restored using a good weapon rotation.

Alternating between defensive and offensive stances while staying in the middle of the fight is the key to playing the guardian class effectively.

The Guardian class has content spread thourough the entire game, and allows comfortably beating it

The Shapeshifter vanquises their foes by transforming into multiple wildshapes, each having unique abilities and completely replacing normal movement.

Predators are fast, and excel at single-target, while Sages are slower, but can control and deal damage to multiple enemies.
Wardens unleash slow but powerful hits while healing their wounds, and Symbiotes turn into powerful teammates, requiring a multiplayer friend to function!

Adapting to the unique movement of each wildshape, and picking the right one for each battle is the key to playing the shapeshifter class!

The Shapeshifter class has content up to the Wall of Flesh

  The mod does not have Calamity cross-content
  It works with the mod, but the classes will be underpowered.

  We are aware that the "old" Orchid classes have been neglected, and they have been put on hold for the time being.
  We would rather work on stuff we enjoy, which in the end gets us to produce more content, of higher quality
  Alchemist and Gambler are on the backburner for now, and shaman's future in uncertain. Therefore, its existing content was removed from the mod.
  Content for the other 2 classes can be re-enabled in the mod configs if you wish to play them
