Strongholds are a new type of combat zone which were introduced in [[V1.3]] a few weeks ahead of the launch of the {{ItA}}[[Into the Abyss Expansion]].


= Strongholds Introduction =
Currently, four Strongholds exist in the base game alongside four more in the {{ItA}}[[Into the Abyss Expansion]].


Strongholds were Introduced in the [https://news.melvoridle.com/free-content-quality-of-life-updates-coming-in-v1-3/ free 1.3 Melvor Update] ahead of the launch of the [[Into the Abyss]] expansion.  
==Mechanics==
Similar to [[Dungeons]], strongholds have a fixed set of monsters but have their own mechanics such as [[Pure Damage]].


Like [[Dungeons]], Strongholds have a fixed monster order but have their own mechanics such as a reversed {{Icon|Combat Triangle}} and {{Icon|Pure Damage}}. All Monsters deal a new type of damage called Pure Damage. This means your Damage Reduction gear has no effect and is a pure DPS combat challenge.
Pure Damage is a monster [[Damage Types|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.


1.3 Introduced 4 Strongholds to the Base Game (alongside the 4 others added with the {{Into the Abyss)}} Expansion under a new “Strongholds” Combat category.
Like Dungeons, Strongholds require use the [[Combat Triangle]] direction of the Stronghold's realm and the player to use the realm's damage type.


== Strongholds Mechanics ==
The major mechanical differences between [[Dungeons]] and Strongholds are as follows:
* 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.


Similar to Dungeons, Strongholds will task you to slay a pre-defined set of Monsters for rewards at the end. The Monsters contained within Strongholds are ones you have already faced but their damage values have been adjusted to accommodate for the lack of Damage Reduction.
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}}


The type & order of monsters stay the same every time Stronholds are undertaken & The Monsters will drop their regular loot inside Strongholds: in Addition Stronghold Exclusive Enchantments will also drop as a reward on completion of a stronghold.
==Enhancements==


There are 3 tiers to each Stronghold - Standard, Augmented and Superior.
Standard and Augmented Strongholds are guaranteed to reward an Enhancement Scroll, containing one [[Enhancements|Enhancement]] based on the tier of the stronghold. Superior Enhancements do not come in scrolls, and have a much lower drop chance at only 1%.  
Each with an increasing difficulty and reward.  


== Strongholds Limitations ==
Strongholds of a tier higher than Standard require equipping all three [[Enhancements]] earned from the directly previous tier of the same stronghold.
Whilst in a stronghold the player cannot change [[Food]] types, change items, or change [[Equipment]] sets. After finishing a dungeon, the dungeon must be left in order to change food, items or sets again. The equipment swap restrictions can be removed by purchasing the {{UpgradeIcon|Stronghold Equipment Swapping}} upgrade from the [[Shop]] for {{PurchaseStat|Stronghold Equipment Swapping|cost}}
