Beyonder Clan

Repeated resets are causing the veil of reality to weaken. Through the cracks come new terrifying and otherworldly monsters, the horrifying Beyonders who delight in causing pure chaos. They do not belong here, and their mere presence puts significant strain on the mortal psyche. Whether you embrace the madness or not, the simple fact that they've joined the endless loop of conflict can't herald anything good...

A full clan mod is a significant addition to the game. This will increase loading times when the game is first launched, and also when starting a new run. Please be patient.

In addition to bringing a full suite of new cards and artifacts, the Beyonders are built around a core new mechanic of Mania. By playing manic spells that are afflictive or compulsive, mania can rise and fall, triggering hysteria or anxiety respectively. Mania effects ALL floors, so be careful. If mania stays too far from 0, your units will go insane, but many spells become more powerful. Most Beyonder spells are manic by default, while allied spells can become manic using new upgrades found in magic shops. If it sounds confusing, don't worry. An optional tutorial has been included to help introduce the new mechanics.

In addition, the uncommon Beyonder banner units are chaotic, and are constantly mutating. Each new run, their stats and abilities will change. Check the log book at the start of a run to see what forms they take. Champion upgrade paths with also change between runs. Each path has three different variations. The log book will only show the upgrade paths available for the current run, or a previous run being viewed in the run history.

Mania: A measure of (a lack of) sanity. Mania is a global resource that effects ALL floors. It resets to 0 at the start of each turn.

Manic: A Manic spell is any spell that adjusts Mania when played. There are three types of Manic cards: Afflictive, Compulsive, and Therapeutic.

Afflictive: Increases Mania by 1 when played.

Compulsive: Decreases Mania by 1 when played.

Therapeutic: Set Mania to 0 when played.

Hysteria (unit ability): Triggers when Mania increases above 0.

Anxiety (unit ability): Triggers when Mania decreases below 0.

Insanity: Triggers when Mania strays too far from 0. At high mania, friendly units are debuffed with Panic. At low mania, friendly units are debuffed with Neurosis. While Insane, Entropic spells will multiply their damage and status effects. By default, Insanity is triggered at +/-3 Mania.

Entropic: If Insane, the damage and/or number of status effects are doubled. Does not effect healing. All spells that scale off Mania are naturally Entropic.

Stalker: If possible, this card will be drawn to your hand each turn. It functions like a combination of Intrinsic and Holdover. Stalker is primarily available as a unit upgrade in steel shops.


Panic (debuff): This unit takes double damage. Stacks decrease when attacked and at the end of each turn.

Neurosis (debuff): This unit is paralyzed. It cannot attack or use Action, Resolve, or Revenge abilities. Decreases when attacked and at the end of each turn.

Jitters (debuff): This unit takes one additional damage per stack of Jitters each time it is damaged. Stacks decrease when damaged and at the end of each turn. Jitters counts as a damaging debuff and will be cleansed by Purify.

Mutated: This unit cannot be further mutated. Mutated is primarily applied by spells that can grant a unit additional abilities.

Chronic (buff): When killed or fully eaten, this unit gains +3 health per stack of Chronic and is placed in the discard pile. Prevents Permadeath.

Formless: This unit is immune to Panic.

Soundless: This unit is immune to Neurosis.

When playing Manic cards, many things can happen across multiple floors. In general, they happen in this specific order:
1. The effects of the card that was played. Cards that scale off Mania will take into account the new value from playing the card.
2. Any Hysteria/Anxiety triggers on the current floor.
3. Any Hysteria/Anxiety triggers on other floors, from top to bottom. This can cause the camera to change locations. It will return to the current floor once all effects are triggered.
4. Any debuffs applied by Insanity.

All clans, including the Beyonder Clan, gain one new artifact exclusive to the Last Divinity DLC. This also includes the other known custom clans Arcadian, Sweetkin, Equestrian, Succubus and Hellborne Pathogens. These can be identified by Malicka's colorful lore tooltips once they've been discovered.

Data is saved locally to allow the random elements of the Beyonder clan to show up properly in the run history. This can also result in longer loading times when viewing old runs. In addition, the non-functional "Generate Challenge" button has been replaced with "Replay Run", allowing you the option to try again with the same seed and starting conditions.

There's no UI for this yet, but runs can also be shared. To do this, first find the ActiveRunData.json file located here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1102190\2978082158\plugins\SaveData\CurrentRun

Then, edit the file and change 'ForceSeed' attribute from 'false' to 'true'. The next time the game is launched, this will be detected as an imported run and you'll have the option to start a new run with that seed. This means that if you share your modified "ActiveRunData.json" file and they replace their current version of the file with yours, they can play your seed as well.

By default, the "ActiveRunData.json" file contains data from the last run you started. It can be refreshed by starting a new run, or by clicking the “Replay Run” button on the Run Summary screen.

Should you wish to reset the tutorial, locate and delete the Tutorial.json file in the SaveData folder referenced above.
