Tech Information

There are 2 Primary Tech Types: Power (Yellow Icons) and Intelligence (Green Icons) Raw damage is increased by increasing their associated POW or INT stats.

There are 5 Tech Sub-Types. These have unique attributes that can make them better or worse to use given the scenario.

Each training location teaches a specific Tech Sub-Type

Training Requirement Thresholds
There are 2 Tech learning thresholds (250 and 500). Learning a particular attack requires several factors summed to meet or exceed these thresholds. These factors are:
  1. Monster's Stat which corresponds to the Training Location
  2. Fear (a hidden values that help determine Loyalty)
  3. Spoil (a hidden values that help determine Loyalty)
  4. Random Number between 0 and 99 (You have no control over this)
When the sum is at or above the threshold, the tech will be learned.
  • To learn: Heavy 1, Hit 1, Wither 1, Ranged 1
    • Monster's Training Locale Stat + Spoil + Fear + (Random 0-99) ≧ 250 Threshold

  • To learn: Heavy 2, Hit 2, Wither 2, Ranged 2, or Special 1 or 2
    • Monster's Training Locale Stat + Spoil + Fear + (Random 0-99) ≧ 500 Threshold

  • Spoil + Fear = Loyalty. Loyalty caps at 100, but Spoil and Fear can each go up to 100 points.
    Loyalty can be used as a loose gauge for the bonus (at least up to 100 points). The bonus isn't applied from the Loyalty value directly, it's applied from Spoil and Fear, so it is possible to have up to 200 bonus points applied.
  • Learning the new tech is determined after the 4th week of training, regardless of success or failure of the training itself.
  • If you succeed in learning a new Tech, you will never get lost. If you get lost, you will not learn a new Tech.
