Rogue Legends: Difference between revisions

Artifacts are items that the player can equip during a campaign. All of them have beneficial effects, though some have negative effects as trade-offs, and some of them add more Insta Monkeys to the player's party. The player starts their campaign with one artifact called a "Hero Artifact" that depends on the Hero or Hero Skin. Most Artifacts come in three tiers of rarity (Common, Rare, and Legendary), with higher tiers having more powerful effects. Players can discard Artifacts from their inventory at any time while they are in the map (for no effect) and have up to 50 Artifacts at the same time during a campaign, if they have more, the game will force them to discard Artifacts until they are at the limit.

Each stage is composed of a grid of hexagonal tiles. There are 14 different stage layouts; each layout has a name internally, but they are not displayed in the game itself.

'''Bloon Encounters''' take the player to a game of ''BTD6''. They appear on the path and the player is required to engage with them to progress. Each Bloon Encounter tile has a 20% chance to be in [[Reverse (BTD6)|Reverse]] mode, indicated by the Bloon above the tile spinning counter-clockwise instead of clockwise. (This only reverses the direction of the track, not the order that Bloon waves appear in during each round, unlike in the main game.) The player can choose a Boost once every 3 [[round]]s.

 

 

Encounters start at round 1 out of 5 and after each encounter cleared, all future encounters in the same stage will start 1 round later and will last for 2 more rounds at the end (ex. 2/7, 3/9, 4/11, and so on), on stage 2 and higher, the first encounter will start 5 rounds later than in the previous stage, (6/10, 11/15 and 16/20 for the first encounter of stages 2, 3, and 4 respectively), further encounters on those stages also increase in the same way as stage 1. In particular, the start and end round for a particular combination of stage and encounter is the following:

 

 

 

The game will have different values depending both on the map difficulty and the current encounter. Bloon speed increases by increments of 3% while MOAB and Ceramic health will be increased by +6% each encounter, and one additional stack of these increments will also be applied on each encounter. In general the challenge modifiers in Bloon Encounters are determined by the following formula which uses the current encounter number and a difficulty value which depends on the [[Map difficulty (BTD6)|map difficulty]]:

 

<math display="block">\text {Bloon Speed} = 100 + 3 \times ( \text {Encounter} - \text {Difficulty} - 1 )</math><math display="block">\text {Ceramic / MOAB Health} = 100 + 6 \times ( \text {Encounter} - \text {Difficulty} - 1 )</math>

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are different types of Bloon Encounters, indicated by the types of Bloons that float over the tile. Some types have unique round sets, and some don't appear until later in the campaign.

|All Bloons gain the [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]] property (if able), and the Regrow rate is increased to 150%.

|All Bloons gain the [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified]] property (if able). All Bloons move 30% slower.

|Bloons move 50% faster if they are within the first half of the track, then their speed is reduced to 80% of normal. Increased the amount of faster Bloons and decreases the amount of slower Bloons.

|-

|All Bloons are immune to Freeze, Stun and Slow effects, like [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]]. Removes Freeplay speed scaling.

|Increases the amount of [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]] and [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]].

|Increases the initial and final rounds of the tile by 10. Starting Cash is calculated accordingly to this new start round.

===Mini Games===

'''Mini Games''' are optional challenges that can reward the player with the choice of an Artifact when completed. Each Mini Game has three tiers of score goals, and the goal the player reaches determines if the Artifact options are Common, Rare, or Legendary. If the player does not reach any of the goals, no Artifact is earned. Players do not lose a heart if they lose or fail to achieve a goal score, but they can pay 1 heart to retry if they haven't earned an Artifact yet. Boosts are awarded every 5 rounds instead of 3 and it will be automatically selected in Races or Endurance Races. Games can also be played in the Reverse version of the track at random.

 

 

 

'''Mini Boss''' tiles are similar to Mini Games, but use [[Boss Rush]] mode. These use the [[Phayze One]] round set rather than the Rogue Bloons round set, and [[Power]]s can be used normally. The player earns a Boost at the start of the game and every 5 times they pop the Boss Bloon. The Boss Bloon of the tile floats around it in a circle. [[Lych]] and [[Vortex (BTD6)|Vortex]] currently cannot appear on these tiles, as neither have a Boss Rush variant yet and cannot happen on certain maps (see the Final Boss section for the list of maps).

 

 

 

'''Log Bridges''' allow the player to cross water tiles. They are functionally identical to path tiles other than requiring the player to select them to proceed.

'''Final Boss''' tiles are a battle against a [[Boss Bloon]] in a manner similar to [[Boss Challenge]]s. The Boss spawns immediately upon starting the game and must be defeated within 40 rounds, starting at round 10. The tile will use the Rogue round set, grant a higher amount of starting cash, and the challenge rules will be the same as if this was the next Bloon Encounter of the stage. The Boss Bloon will be in its Normal version for stage 1 and in its Elite version for stages 2 and higher. The Boss tier will be the same as the stage number and remain at tier 5 on stages 6 and beyond. The number of skulls remains the same as in Boss Challenge.

'''Practice''' allows the player to simulate a Bloon Encounter on any [[map]] of the player's choosing, including [[Protect The Yacht]] and [[Blons]]. The player chooses their Starter Party and plays rounds 1–65. There are no health or speed modifiers and the player earns [[Boost]]s every two rounds instead of three. After completing round 65, the player can continue in [[Freeplay]].

*Esoteric Elementalist Rare has a 50 % chance of triggering the damage over time effect instead of 30% as the description states.
