Glyph of affection
The Glyph of Affection is an armor glyph that can appear on certain types of armor in Remixed Dungeon. This glyph provides charm-based defensive abilities to the wearer.
Description
When an enemy hits the wearer of armor with this glyph, there is a chance that the attacker will become charmed, turning to fight alongside the hero for a limited time.
Mechanics
Grounded in Affection.java:
- Activation: Triggers when the wearer is hit by an enemy that is adjacent to the wearer
- Probability: Chance is (armor level gated to 0-6)/2 + 4 out of (level/2 + 5), i.e. 80% at level 0, rising to 90% at level 6
- Effect: The attacker is charmed for a random duration of 2-5 turns (modified by charm resistance)
- Backlash: The wearer also becomes charmed for half of the attacker's duration, but never longer than the attacker
- Limitations: Mindless enemies may be immune to the charm effect
Armor Compatibility
- Can appear on any armor as a random glyph inscription
Strategy
- Effective in groups of enemies, as charmed enemies will fight other enemies
- Particularly useful against difficult single enemies
- Be careful in situations where you don't want to lose control of the battlefield
- Works well with crowd control strategies
Identification
- Armor with this glyph appears as normal until activated
- Can be identified through various means like Scroll of Identify
Acquisition
- Armor randomly generated with this glyph
- Artificer NPC services
