Changes: Face Trader (Event)

Revision as of 19:29, 26 September 2019

Face Trader is an event which can trigger in any ? room of all three acts.

(BETA) This event no longer appears past Act 2.

Options

[Touch] Lose X HP (10% of Max HP). Gain 75 Gold.
[Trade] 50%: Good Face. 50%: Bad Face. (Note: The actual odds are 40% good mask, 40% bad mask, 20% a mask that does nothing.)
[Leave] (Nothing happens)

Mask Relics

After choosing [Trade] the player will receive one of five masks as a relic. Two of these have a positive effect, two of them are detrimental and the last one is neutral (only cosmetic effects).

20% (Neutral Mask): Cultist Headpiece: You feel more talkative.
20% (Good Mask): Face of Cleric: Raise your Max HP by 1 after each combat.
20% (Bad Mask): Gremlin Visage: Start each combat with 1 Weak.
20% (Bad Mask): N'loth's Hungry Face: The next non-boss Chest you open is empty.
20% (Good Mask): Ssserpent Head: Whenever you enter a ? room, gain 50 Gold.

Strategy

Both the positive masks—Face of Cleric and Ssserpent Head—are extremely powerful if acquired in Acts 1 and 2. On the negative side: N'loth's Hungry Face remains a fairly minor penalty throughout. But by Act 3, the threat of a Gremlin Visage and the small number of remaining rooms/combats makes a roll increasingly dangerous (especially for a deck avoiding most combats). Therefore, it may be wise to gain the gold (or simply leave) in late acts, especially if your deck is reliant on Attacks.
