Vertigo Buff

Vertigo Status Effect

Description

Vertigo (also called Confusion or Dizziness) is a negative status effect in Remixed Dungeon that causes disorientation in the affected character.

Effects

  • Disorientation: Affected characters experience dizziness and confusion
  • Movement: Character's movement becomes erratic and unpredictable
  • Base Duration: 10 turns (DURATION constant in Vertigo.java)
  • Duration Reduction: Duration is multiplied by Resistance factor (from rings of elements, etc.)
  • Direction: Character may move in random directions instead of intended path

Sources

Vertigo can be inflicted by:

  • Confusion Gas - Created when rotten food is eaten or thrown (25% chance). The gas lasts 150 + 10 × dungeon depth turns and applies Vertigo to all creatures in its area, refreshing the duration each turn.
  • Horror Enchantment - When used against the player hero
  • Special abilities of certain mobs
  • Magical effects or items that cause disorientation
  • Environmental effects

Counters

  • Resistance (from rings of elements) reduces duration via durationFactor()
  • Potions and items that cure status effects may remove vertigo
  • Some creatures may be immune to disorientation effects
  • Waiting for the effect to naturally expire
