Greed

It is finally here, our take on a dungeon crawler's proper "End", an "Endless Mode". It is not for everyone, but those of us who enjoys an infinite scaling mechanic with unique rewards, new things to discover and infinite difficulty climb will be enjoyers of our Greed Implementation

• We have added a new tab to the skill tree. This tab serves as the home for how you greed. You can see your current greed tier statistics, and the next tier’s.
• There is also a button, called “Take Trials”. This will take you to the Greed Trial arena; A new boss fight where you will ultimately unalive. The longer that you survive in this vault, the more greed coins you will receive. Once unalived, you will “greed” to the next tier.
• After completing the Herald, you unlock access to Greed Trials
• Each time you die in a Greed Trial, you increase your Greed Tier
• Progressing a tier allows you to unlock Greed Nodes which provide powerful upgrades and progression paths
• Each Greed Tier increases overall difficulty and scaling
• Higher tiers push your build further with stronger enemies and tougher encounters

  • Killing them rewards Greed Coins and Reputation
