Strongholds are a new type of combat zone introduced in [[V1.3]] ahead of the launch of the [[Into the Abyss]] expansion. | |||
Currently, 4 Strongholds exist in the base game alongside 4 more in the [[Into the Abyss|Into the Abyss Expansion]]. | |||
==Mechanics== | |||
Similar to [[Dungeons]], strongholds have a fixed set of monsters but have their own mechanics such as a reversed [[Combat Triangle]] and [[Pure Damage]]. | |||
Pure Damage is a [[Damage Type]] that cannot be negated or resisted in any way - equipment with [[Damage Reduction]] does not prevent this damage. The damage values of monsters in strongholds have been adjusted to accommodate for the lack of Damage Reduction. Because of this, the player is intended to try to deal as much damage as possible, while ignoring any defensive bonuses. | |||
The major mechanical differences between [[Dungeons]] and Strongholds are as follows: | |||
All | * All monsters drop their normal loot when killed inside Strongholds. | ||
* Completing a stronghold rewards a scroll that contains exclusive [[Enhancements]] depending on the tier of the stronghold. | |||
* There are 3 tiers to each Stronghold - Standard, Augmented and Superior, each with increasing difficulty. | |||
** [[Enhancements]] are required to enter and complete Augmented and Superior Strongholds. | |||
** [[Pets]] only have a chance to drop from Superior Strongholds. | |||
** Unequipping the required enhancements while in a stronghold will cause all player attacks to miss. | |||
While in a stronghold the player cannot equip nor unequip [[Food]] and Equipment, nor can they change [[Equipment]] sets. These swapping restrictions can be removed by purchasing the {{UpgradeIcon|Stronghold Equipment Swapping}} upgrade from the [[Shop]] for {{PurchaseStat|Stronghold Equipment Swapping|cost}} | |||
==Enhancements== | |||
Standard and Augmented Strongholds are guaranteed to reward an Enhancement Scroll, containing [[Enhancements]] based on the tier of the stronghold. Superior Enhancements do not come in scrolls, and have a much lower drop chance at only 1%. | |||
Strongholds of a higher tier than Standard require matching [[Enhancements]] to be equipped. Wearing enhancements of a certain tier allows entry only to the exact same tier of stronghold and NOT to lower tiers. | |||
