She Will Punish Them: All Abilities Explained in Detail

Details each ability in its current state, including the specific numbers of how they affect things.

All Abilities Explained in Detail

There has been a lot of discussion and questions around specifically how various character abilities work. So, I pulled out a decompiler and started digging through game code to try to find as many relevant details as I could about every ability currently in the game.

Included with each ability is the code name for that ability which can be used to locate it in code or in a save editor.

Warning: This game is rapidly evolving and receiving regular updates all the time. This guide will probably quickly get outdated. I am not planning to try to keep updating it every time something changes, but I will make an effort to update it once in a while.

Last updated for game version 0.784 released on July 21, 2021.

Notes 

  • The combo damage multiplier is multiplied with the heavy attack multiplier (1.5) for heavy attacks. 
  • The combo damage multiplier is applied before the damage is reduced by enemy defense rating.

Formula 
multiplier = (1.15 + rank * 0.05) * combo_count 
 
Examples 
At rank 0, multiplier is increased by 15% per combo count up to +120% at 8. 
At rank 5, multiplier is increased by 40% per combo count up to +360% at 8. 
 

Focus

Increases the rage accumulated per hit by 1 per rank. 

Skill NameMax Rank
focus5

Notes 

  • Reaching 100 rage allows a special attack to be performed via the “block” input key. Performing the attack resets rage to 0. 
  • Weapons have a built-in amount of rage per hit that they generate. This ability adds to that. The weapon rage numbers are not currently known. 
  • Rage appears as a bar below the stamina bar on the HUD. A full bar represents 100 rage.

Note 
No usage of this could be found anywhere in the code. Perhaps this ability is not implemented? 
 

Regeneration

Increases passive health regeneration by 1.5 per tick per rank. 

Skill NameMax Rank
recreation5

Note 
The regen is applied every FixedUpdate tick. It is currently unknown what the application framerate is set to, which is what controls how often FixedUpdate is called. 
 

Constitution

Increase maximum health by 15 per point. 

Skill NameMax Rank
ironbody5

Note 
The increase per point is calculated as half of the vitality increase per point, which is set to 30. As written, if they were to change health per vitality, it would also affect constitution. 
 

Hardened Skin

Increases defense rating by 8% of your agility per point. 

Skill NameMax Rank
hardenedskin5

Notes

  • The effectiveness of this ability is tied to your agility. At rank 5 with 5 agility, you would gain 2 defense. With 10 agility, you would gain 4 defense. 
  • Compared to armor, the amount of defense gained by this ability is very small unless you pour a lot of points into agility.

Athletic

Increases maximum stamina by 15 per rank and increases stamina regeneration by 0.15 per tick per rank. 

Skill NameMax Rank
athletic5

Notes 

  • The regen is applied every FixedUpdate tick. It is currently unknown what the application framerate is set to, which is what controls how often FixedUpdate is called. 
  • The base stamina regeneration per tick is 0.5. This can add up to another 0.75 at max rank, totaling 1.25.

Dodge

Increases the invincibility time when performing a roll by 0.1 second per rank. 

Skill NameMax Rank
dodging5

Notes 

  • The ability description also mentions decreasing the roll cooldown, but I could find no evidence of that in the code. 
  • The base invincibility time for a roll is 0.35 seconds. This can add another 0.5 seconds at max rank, totaling 0.85 seconds.

Magic Skills

Elemental Resistance

Increases base elemental resistance against all element types by 2 per rank. 

Skill NameMax Rank
elementalresistence5

Notes 

  • Base elemental resistance starts at 0. This skill allows getting it up to 10. Additional elemental resistances can be found on armor sometimes, but only one element type at a time. 
  • Elemental resistance directly negates incoming damage. For example, an attack that would do 25 fire damage against a target with 10 fire resistance will result in 15 damage.

Other Skills

Golden Hand

Increases the chance that gold will drop from breakables, chests and monsters by 5% per rank. 

Skill NameMax Rank
goldenhand5

Notes 

  • Only the main player character’s rank in this ability is used by the game. Giving this skill to companions has no effect. 
  • Whether something is killed by the player or by a companion is not a factor in determining loot. 
  • Whenever something lootable is killed/opened/destroyed, it will make a number of attempts to create loot each type of loot, gold being one of the loot types. See Scavenger notes for more details. 
  • The base gold drop chance per attempt is 20%. This skill can increase that to 45% at max rank. 
  • The amount of gold per attempt is not affected by this skill, nor is the number of attempts per lootable. Only the likeliness of each attempt to generate gold is increased.

Scavenger

Increases the chance for all types of loot to drop from breakables, chests and monsters by increasing the number of loot chances per object by one per rank. 

Skill NameMax Rank
scavenger5

Notes 

  • Only the main player character’s rank in this ability is used by the game. Giving this skill to companions has no effect. 
  • Whether something is killed by the player or by a companion is not a factor in determining loot. 
  • Whenever something lootable is killed/opened/destroyed, it will make a number of attempts to create loot each type of loot. This ability increases that number. 
  • Breakables, chests and monsters have an associated rarity value which determines the base number of loot generation attempts per object. 
  • Each loot attempt will try to generate every type of loot: one item, gold, one lingerie, and crystals. The chance for each loot type varies as described in the tables below. Many attempts will end up generating no loot.

Number of Attempts 
The number of attempts per lootable object are based the object’s rarity rating and whether it is a monster or breakable/chest. It is unknown which rarity ratings correspond to which objects/monsters. 

TierBreakable/ChestMonster
163
2115
3148
41915
52925
65550

Item Drop Chances 
There is a single roll per attempt with a 36% chance to drop an item. That chance is split over the different types of items. 

Item TypeChance per Attempt
Weapon7%
Armor8%
Potion10%
Ammo2%
Treasure5%
Miscellaneous4%

Gold Drop Chances 
There is a single roll per attempt with a 20% (boosted by Golden Hand) chance to drop gold. The amount of gold in a single drop is determined by the rarity of the object/monster that is dropping the loot. 

TierAmount
13
25
38
49
512
620

Outside of the normal loot drop attempts, there is also a 3% chance that an item will be a “gold pinata” guaranteeing it between 10 and 17 additional gold drops, each of which follows the same rules as the table above for the amount. 
 
Lingerie Drop Chances 
Lingerie will only be attempted half as many times as other types of loot. The effect of Scavenger is also halved for lingerie. Each attempt has a 2% chance of dropping a random lingerie. If the roll succeeds, all lingerie items have an equal chance of being chosen for the drop. 
 
Crystal Drop Chances 
The chance of crystals dropping and the amount of crystals in a drop both depend on the rarity of the object/monster that is dropping the loot. The Crystal Hunter ability will increase the chance, but not the amount. 

TierChanceAmount
12%1
25%3
38%5
415%8
520%10
670%20

Crystal Hunter

  • Whether something is killed by the player or by a companion is not a factor in determining loot. 
  • Whenever something lootable is killed/opened/destroyed, it will make a number of attempts to create loot each type of loot, crystals being one of the loot types. See Scavenger notes for more details.

Increases all experience gains for this character by 20% per rank.

Notes

  • All exp gains are affected by this ability, including exp scrolls and exp gained via the cheat menu. 
  • The character that gets the killing blow gets all of the exp from a monster. 
  • Exp resets to 0 when a new level is gained. The exp needed to gain the next level is calculated using the following polynomial expression. “level” represents the current level. 
500 + level * 1500 + level * level * 500
