Stats

There are 17 (seventeen) Core Stats in DoC.

Expeditions & Cycles

All the Stats displayed in the UI (except Action Slots)

In DoC, time moves forward whenever you return to the Golden Bastion. This can be after winning a fight, losing a fight, giving in to lust, losing your soul, and fleeing from an encounter. Each expedition changes the currently active star bonus. The cycle counter tracks the amount of rebirths the player has performed.

Level

Your "Level" determines your cumulative experience and dictates which Abilities you have access to. As the player levels up, their stats (HP, Stamina, Strength, Arousal Gain, and Stamina Recovery) improve, and they get a skill point to improve or obtain a skill. As of (V.0.6.3), the player's stats automatically update upon leveling up using a table that scales up infinitely. In prior editions the player gained 2 stat points they could spend as they saw fit (either both points on 1 stat or 1 on each of 2 stats of their choosing).

Most abilities become available as you gain higher levels, but some are only available if you meet certain conditions.

XP

"XP" refers to your Experience Points, which can be obtained from either winning or losing battles against the various enemies that you can encounter in the game.

Essence

The raw lifeforce contained within all the inhabitants of DoC's world. When you defeat an opponent, you take some of the Essence from them and add it to your own pool. Essence can be used as a currency, as well as a form of fuel/catalyst for certain creatures, including the player, transforming them into stronger versions of themselves.

Corruption

The main source of growth in DoC, "Corruption" grants the player access to new Abilities and Fight Moves, at the cost of preventing them from obtaining others. There are multiple sources of Corruption; the light of Nyx, the goo that seeps off of the bodies of "The Lost", the eldritch entities that grant power to demons, etc.. All have the power to corrupt the player in some way, including decisions they themselves make.

HP

Your Hit Points. Reaching 0 (zero) HP will cause the player to surrender themselves in battle. In (V.0.6.3) the health stat is automatically upgraded upon level up. Your health can be upgraded when you Level-up by spending stat points in prior versions. Each stat point consumed increases your total HP by "6" (V.0.5.0) / "1" (V.0.4.9).

Stamina

The resource for your Fight Moves in combat. Each move in a combo consumes from your current stamina and the amount of stamina consumed is shown at the top-left corner of the card, within a green hexagon. As of (V.0.6.3) this stat is automatically upgraded upon Level-up. Prior versions allow you to increase your total Stamina by "4" (V.0.5.0) / "1" (V.0.4.9).

Stamina Recovery

The amount of Stamina the player Recovers per turn of combat. As of (V.0.6.3) this stat is upgraded automatically. Prior versions allow you to spend stat points to increase your Stamina Recovery Rate by "1" (V.0.5.0) / "1" (V.0.4.9).

Strength

The stat that factors in the total amount of damage the player can deal with Fight Moves. For each 5 Strength points, all your attacks will deal an additional point of damage. The damage value is shown in the center of the card, within a red pentagon. As of (V.0.6.3) this stat is improved upon Level-up. Prior versions allow you to spend stat points to increase your total Strength by "3" (V.0.5.0) / "1" (V.0.4.9).

Arousal & Arousal Gain

This determines the player's 'lust', as well as is the main factor for unleashing the player's Symbiote Form (default name 'Echo'); Upon reaching 100 (One-Hundred) Arousal during battle, 'Echo' will be summoned, granting the player increased Stats, as well as access to a total of 6 Fight Move cards per turn and unlocking the Ability "Ensnaring Goo".

The player's minimum starting Arousal is "0" (zero) by default, but this can be increased. The base Arousal gain rate is "20" (twenty). As of (V.0.6.3) the Arousal gain rate is automatically improved on Level-up. Prior versions allow you to spend stat points to increase your total Arousal Gain by "2" (V.0.5.0) / "1" (V.0.4.9).

Action Slots

When in battle, using Combo Moves requires Action Slots. The number of Action Slots required varies among Moves. The Player starts with 3 (three) Minimum Action Slats by default and can increase this value both outside & inside battle. Action Slots reset to their Minimum Value at the start of each battle.
