Mods

From Deathbulge Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Each Character can equip up to three mods, split up into one Class Mod slot to determine their Class, and two auxiliary Mod slots to grant additional skills. Beats, which are mod-like skills obtained from defeating enemies, are not considered Mods.

Skills granted by Mods cost Hype to use. Each Mod can only be used by a certain character and are referred to as Faye Mods, Ian Mods, and Briff Mods respectively. Beats on the other hand grant skills that are not character-specific and cost no Hype to use.

Unlike Beats, which have (mostly) fixed damage/heal ranges, the damage/healing from Mods scales with the corresponding character Stat, Noise or Melody. In the Mod descriptions these are usually prefaced with a Severity Multiplier (see table below), that directly scales the damage/healing output. Additionally, the damage/healing per target is multiplied by 0.67 (=2/3) for moves that can hit/heal more than one enemy/friend (keywords "ALL" and "PARTY") and for attacks that hit multiple times per use (keywords "TWICE" and "THRICE") the damage of each instance is multiplied by 0.8. Ian's Twang Frenzy is the only exception to the latter rule and does not suffer the multi hit penalty.

Keyword Minuscule Light Moderate Heavy Massive Obscene
Severity Multiplier 0.5x 0.75x 1x 1.5 2x 3x
