Player Stats
The five core stats that define your character's capabilities.
Stat Definitions
HP
Hit Points. Your health pool. When HP reaches 0, you are defeated and the run ends. HP does not regenerate between fights unless restored by a point of interest or item effect.
ATK
Attack. Determines the damage you deal per strike in combat. Each strike deals damage equal to your ATK value, applied first against the enemy's ARM, then against their HP.
ARM
Armor. Absorbs incoming damage before it reaches your HP. ARM is depleted by incoming attacks during combat but resets to its full value after each fight ends.
SPD
Speed. Determines turn order in combat. The combatant with higher SPD acts first each turn. A +5 SPD advantage grants an extra strike per turn.
DIG
Dig. Reduces the move cost of tunneling through wall tiles. Higher DIG means faster traversal through walls, opening up more map exploration within your move budget.
Starting Values
At the beginning of every run, before any items are equipped, your character starts with the following base stats:
| Stat | Starting Value |
|---|---|
| ATK | 1 |
| ARM | 0 |
| SPD | 0 |
| DIG | 1 |
Starting HP by Campaign Level
Your starting HP varies based on how far you have progressed in the campaign. Higher campaign levels start with less HP to increase difficulty.
| Campaign Level | Starting HP |
|---|---|
| 1 – 9 | 25 |
| 10 – 19 | 22 |
| 20+ | 18 |
| PvP Modes | 20 |
Starting Gold by Campaign Level
Gold is the in-run currency used to purchase items from shops and interact with certain points of interest. Your starting gold decreases as you progress through the campaign.
| Campaign Level | Starting Gold |
|---|---|
| 1 – 5 | 10g |
| 6 – 10 | 8g |
| 11 – 15 | 5g |
| 16 – 20 | 3g |
| 21 – 30 | 2g |
| 31 – 40 | 0g |
Gear Slots
Your gear slot count expands as you defeat bosses, from 4 slots in Week 1 up to 8 in standard modes and 12 in Gauntlet. See the Items page for the full progression table.
GOLD
Gold (GOLD) is the primary in-run currency. It is not a token — just an in-game currency used to buy items from shops, pay for forge upgrades, and interact with certain POIs. Gold does not carry over between runs — each run starts with a fresh gold balance determined by your campaign level.
