Trail: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

At each stage a wild creature from the biome steps up. Early stages tend to front the biome's weaker species; the Showdown leans toward its strongest. On a Guardian run, the final stage shows the boss instead of a wild creature.

== Wins~~, losses,~~ and flees ==

== Wins and flees ==

* '''Win''' — you clear all four stages and take the run's loot.

Since [[Expeditions#How an expedition works|v0.39.0]] there's no coin flip and no outright loss: a run you're strong enough to attempt always finishes as a win eventually, clearing all four stages and taking the loot. Coming in under-geared doesn't fail the run — it just runs longer (more exchanges, more food burned), and grinding it out well past the intended gear line can leave your survivor injured even on a win.

* '''Loss''' — the run is turned back at one stage, weighted toward the later stages, so most defeats come at the Clash or the Showdown for extra drama. A loss may leave your survivor injured.

* '''Flee''' — ~~breaking off~~ a ~~run~~ (~~helped by~~ swiftness~~, and by a Scout in~~ your party~~) exits at~~ the ~~current stage with the run's~~ flee ~~result~~.

* '''Win''' — you clear all four stages and take the run's loot. The normal outcome.

* '''Flee''' — not a choice to bail on a losing fight (there isn't one); it's the automatic swiftness-boosted escape your party attempts when you'd otherwise run out of food mid-fight. If the flee itself fails, you die instead (see [[Expeditions#Death and reclaiming gear|Death and reclaiming gear]]).

Line 86:

Line 87:

You can assign each companion in your party a role that shapes how the Trail resolves:

* '''~~Vanguard~~''' — takes point on more stages and counts for extra party strength.

* '''Attack''' — takes point on more stages and counts for extra party strength.

* '''Guard''' — reduces the damage your survivor takes each fight.

* '''Scout''' — improves flee chance and raises the [[Expeditions|Trail Cache]] drop rate.

Line 93:

Line 94:

* '''Auto-eat.''' During a run your survivor automatically eats your best food to stay in the fight. You can toggle auto-eat off, and you can "Eat now" to heal manually whenever your health is below full. These controls appear on the encounter panel for both hunts and expeditions.

* '''Battle report.''' ~~After~~ a ~~run~~, ~~an expandable report recaps each stage: who took point~~, the ~~wild creature (or boss) faced, damage taken, any flee or injury~~, and the ~~loot found~~.

* '''Battle report.''' A collapsible panel above the action list keeps a running tally of your recent fights — wins, losses, the pack that fought, and everything they've brought home — rather than a per-run recap. See [[Battle Log]] for the full breakdown.
