Arcade Perk Suggestions

[Own]

Eventually they're going to be padded out might as well have a topic for them, eh?

Moneybags - Start with 1,000 gold.

Emergency Flare - Start with a consumable one-use 'Emergency Flare', spawns a nurse in a completed, normal room.

Credit Card - Start with a consumable one-use 'Credit Card', spawns a shop in a completed, normal room.

Goddess Feather - Start with a consumable one-use 'Goddess Feather', instantly clears one normal rroom. Awards no score, EXP or drops.

Alchemy Kit - Start with 1 of each potion, excluding health.

Health Potion - Start with a Health Potion.

Auto-Potion - If a Health Potion exists in inventory upon hitting 0 HP, automatically use it to escape death. (Reduces health gained to 10-15%?)

Head Start - Start with one Skill Crystal. Can't be used on quests.

Talented - Start with (1-2?) Talent Orbs. Can't be used on quests.

Emergency Flare, Credit Card and Goddess Feather sounds like cool items to find in a run as well.

More, give me more: Gives you 2 extra random rooms on each floor. (More rooms = higher chance for shops/challenge rooms and higher scores!)

All out: Start with a better weapon than the normal perks but start without a shield! (Overrides the shield perk)

(I'm bad with names... Insert name here): Start with two random skill points put in any skills.

Card thief - You get a consumable that guarantees you will get a card from next enemy killed.

Item thief - Same as above, but for rarest drop.

Genius - Increases exp gain by 5%.

Lucky - Increases drop rate by 5%.

Alchemist - You get 3-5 Energy Potions at start.
Not good place to suggest it, but Energy Potion is an auto-usable item that restores your energy, when you need it.

Insurance - You can heal once for free at nurse. / Alternatively: You get a 400? gold bonus to spend only at nurse.

Unpunished - You are not punished for failing first 3 bets.

Infiltrator - When you enter room, enemies don't attack you for 5 seconds. When you attack enemy, only this one will attack.

Super Treasure - You get a consumable item that used on chest will transform it into Rare Chest, giving treasure being 1-2 tiers higher.

Some of these sound waaay more powerful than the current Talents. I'd for sure take Card Thief every time. +100 max HP every run? Neat. Also I clear most rooms in under 5 seconds, so... that'd be a proper invincibility run.

Risky Reward - S-Ranks refill 1% of HP. C-Ranks deal 1% of HP.

Jack of All Trades - Refunding Skills and Talents require (50-75%?) less gold.

Haggler - All items sell for (5-10%?) more.

Amnesia: Get teleported to a random room on the floor every time you leave your current room. +10% more score/room

If that would work anything like the Binding of Isaac curse, that's 99% inconvenience and 1% difficulty. Everyone who plays Isaac just gets annoyed whenever the level is like that. Because it takes foreeever to get to the boss.

It would be a pretty neat Candy difficulty upgrade, if the devs ever do add a Candy/Muffin +Score/Difficulty and -Score/Easy system, though. http://secretsofgrindea.com/forum/index.php?threads/more-ways-to-spend-essence-upgrading-npcs.3577/

Maybe the Amnesia idea could be a quest instead of a perk.

Nemesis Perks

Is there an enemy (or enemy type) that's brutalizing you? Sacrifice a perk slot specifically to deal with them! These could either be available from the start, or appear in the Perk menu when you die vs that enemy / enemy type 3-5 times.

Example #1:

Nemesis - Bee: Gain +10% DMG vs Bees.

Example #2:

Nemesis - Bloomo: Gain +# DEF vs Bloomos.

Example #3:
Nemesis - Humanoid: Gain +10% DMG vs Humanoid enemies. (Vilya, Teddy, Freddy, Marino)

Season Knights?

 

[Own]

They seem to be animated suits of armor to me, not human or living.

Nemesis - Animate Inanimates (Season Knights, Scarecrow, Jumpkin King, Living Rune Block) seems slightly more fitting.

Also

Nemesis - Spawners: (Beehive, Summoning Crystal, Sentry)
