Primary Stats

These stats are shown as your current Character stats. They are also used as hidden Item tags, making certain items more likely to appear in the Shop for specific characters.

Click a stat to see the Items it affects or uses.

Name	Effects	Limit	Negative stat effect
Max HP	The maximum amount of hit points you can have; can increase during a wave if the character levels up, and from certain side effects. If the current hit points become zero, the character dies and the run ends.	No limit	Max HP can not be less than 1. (It is possible to have zero or negative Max HP on Demon, but during the wave the effective Max HP will still be 1 in these cases.)
HP Regeneration	Passive healing that restores 1 HP per n seconds, where the healing interval n becomes shorter with increasing HP Regeneration. This can also be expressed as HP per second which is an approximation. The first point of HP Regeneration gives 0.2 HP/s (1 HP per 5s), every further point increases this by 0.09 HP/s (details)	No limit	Negative HP Regeneration values are possible; this is the same as having 0 HP Regeneration (no regeneration).
Life Steal	All weapon hits get a chance to heal you for 1 HP. The chance is 1% per point in Life Steal. The healing amount is always 1 HP per successful attempt, no matter how much damage was caused by the attack. Some weapons have their own Life Steal modifier, which only affects hits with that weapon; the character's Life Steal chance is added to each weapon individually. If life steal is triggered, this can not happen again for the next 0.1s. This means the theoretical maximum is 10 HP of healing per second. The effect can be triggered by spawned projectiles (from weapons and items), but is not triggered by Engineering structures. If multiple enemies get hit by the same attack or projectile, every hit can trigger life steal (still subject to the 0.1s lockout period).	No limit, but can only happen at most once per 0.1s.	Negative values for Life Steal are possible, and will decrease the life steal chance of all weapons accordingly. If a weapon ends up with a negative percent chance, this is equal to a 0% chance (no life steal from that weapon). If no weapons with innate Life Steal are equipped, this simply means that negative Live Steal has no effect (equals to 0%).
Damage	Increases all damage dealt by 1% per point in Damage. Does not affect Engineering structures.	No limit	Negative Damage decreases damage instead of increasing. The minimum damage caused by a weapon or effect is always 1.
Melee Damage	Modifies the base attack damage of weapons, if their damage scales with Melee Damage. This varies by weapon according to the scale factor which is shown in the weapon description. Some items deal damage based on this stat.	No limit	Negative Melee Damage will decrease the base attack damage; however, a weapon or item will always deal at least 1 damage per hit or effect application.
Ranged Damage	Your ranged attacks deal x additional damage.	No limit	Your ranged attacks deal x less damage down to a minimum of 1 damage.
Elemental Damage	Makes you elemental attacks deal x damage.	No limit	Your elemental attacks deal x less damage down to a minimum of 1
Attack Speed	You attack x% faster. Also applies to Ranged Weapons but not engineering turrets or mines	No limit	You attack slower. Negative attack speed is calculated differently and doesn't impact you as much as positive attack speed.
Crit Chance	Your weapons have an x increased chance to deal a critical hit.	Maximum 100% chance to do critical hits on a hit.	The amount is subtracted from the base crit chance of your weapon. Minimum is 0% chance in total to crit.
Engineering	Increases the power of your structures. The other stats don't affect structures but specials do (piercing, bouncing, explosion etc.)	No limit	Your structures have x decreased power down to a minimum of 1 damage or healing
Range	The max range of your weapons is increased by x. A higher range also increases the cooldown of melee weapons.(longer travel distance)	No limit	Your weapons have x less range. (Halved for melee weapons). Minimum of 25 range.
Armor	You reduce incoming damage by x%. Each point of armor means it takes 6.66% more damage to kill you.	No limit	The damage you take is increased by x% instead of decreased.
Dodge	You have a x% chance to dodge attacks.	60% (90% with Ghost)	Acts like this stat is 0
Speed	You move x% faster.	No limit	You move x% slower, coming to a standstill at -100% or more.
Luck	You have an x% more chance of finding items or consumables when you kill enemies. Also increases the rarity of the items in the shop and level upgrades.	No limit	You have an x% less chance of finding items or consumables when you kill enemies. Also decreases the rarity of the items in the shop and level upgrades.
Harvesting	You earn x materials and XP at the end of a wave. Increased by 5% every time it activates. (Rounded up)	No limit	You lose x materials and XP at the end of a wave. The 5% Increment doesn't happen.
