Like [[Dungeons]], Strongholds have a fixed monster order but have their own mechanics such as a reversed {{Combat Triangle}} and {{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. 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 have a fixed monster order but have their own mechanics such as a reversed {{Combat Triangle}} and {{Pure Damage}}.

== | ==Mechanics== | ||
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. | |||
The type & order of monsters stay the same every time Stronholds are undertaken and 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. There are 3 tiers to each Stronghold - Standard, Augmented and Superior, each with an increasing difficulty and reward. | |||
Unequipping an enchantment while in the dungeon will result in no damage dealt like you would if you where missing a slayer item requirement. | |||
== | ==Limitations== | ||
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 30M {{PurchaseStat|Stronghold Equipment Swapping|cost}} | Whilst in a stronghold the player cannot change [[Food]] types, change items, or change [[Equipment]] sets.
