Armor
Base: 150gReduces incoming damage; performs especially well against frequent-hit enemies
Lvl 1: +20 ArmorLvl 2: +40 ArmorLvl 3: +60 ArmorLvl 4: +80 ArmorLvl 5: +100 Armor
โญ Mastery: After taking damage, become invulnerable for 4 seconds (resets after 30 seconds) (+300g)
- Armor uses a flat reduction before percentage calculation. 60 Armor means enemies dealing 15-30 base damage per hit deal 0-1 damage on most attacks.
- Mastery Armor grants 4 seconds of invulnerability after any hit โ a powerful safety net in Hardcore runs.
- Armor is especially effective against rapid-attack enemies (many small hits) rather than burst damage (bosses).
- Combine with Dodge for multiplicative defensive layering: 40 Armor + 25% Dodge is more durable than 80 Armor alone.
Mana Gain
Base: 150gLevel Up faster by increasing Mana Gain per orb collected
Lvl 1: +3% Mana GainLvl 2: +6% Mana GainLvl 3: +9% Mana GainLvl 4: +12% Mana GainLvl 5: +15% Mana Gain
โญ Mastery: Gain some Mana when you revive a teammate (+300g)
- Mana Gain is especially powerful on Bryony whose passive massively amplifies XP orb collection range.
- In co-op, a dedicated Mana Gain wizard levels faster and unlocks team-wide advantages earlier.

Luck
Base: 250gImproves the rarity of upgrades offered at each level up
Lvl 1: +4 LuckLvl 2: +6 LuckLvl 3: +8 LuckLvl 4: +10 LuckLvl 5: +12 Luck
โญ Mastery: Your first Level Up only has Improvements of increased Rarity (+300g)
- Reginald starts with +2 Luck and a 10% better chance at Health Potions and Magnets โ that is why he is the standard beginner pick.
- Each +1 Luck reduces Common chance by 1.2% and increases Rare/Epic/Legendary by 0.5%/0.4%/0.3%.
- At max Luck (42 total), Legendary upgrade chance reaches 12.6% vs 0% at base Luck.
- Mastery Luck means your very first level-up is guaranteed Rare or better โ prioritize this first.

Base: 100gIncreases your maximum HP pool for surviving burst damage
Lvl 1: +150 Max HPLvl 2: +300 Max HPLvl 3: +450 Max HPLvl 4: +600 Max HPLvl 5: +750 Max HP
โญ Mastery: You gain 25 empty Max Health every time you revive a teammate (+250g)
- Mastery Max Health rewards co-op play โ each revive permanently increases your HP pool.

Lvl 1: +3% Cast SpeedLvl 2: +6% Cast SpeedLvl 3: +9% Cast SpeedLvl 4: +12% Cast SpeedLvl 5: +15% Cast Speed
โญ Mastery: Your Cast Speed is increased by 20% when your Health is below 20% (+300g)
- Falling Stars benefits enormously from Cast Speed โ each instance is a separate cooldown.
- Mastery Cast Speed triggers when low HP โ essentially a panic-button that makes spells faster when you need them most.
- Reginald's Astral Orbs orbits are affected by Cast Speed โ faster recharge = more orbtargets.
