Elixirs

Jonnyscout: Created Elixirs page. Hoping to add screenshots and images later, comments and input are appreciated.

Elixirs are a new mechanic unique to Heroes of Hammerwatch 2. They can be spawned as loot from Cursed Chests and Cursed Resource Caches in [[New Game Plus]], as well as from beating Avatar in New Game Plus. When consumed by pressing the interact key, they raise the associated Character Attribute by a certain amount.

The maximum amount an elixir can grant as a permanent bonus to a specific attribute is dependent on your current New Game Plus level, to a max of 3 per level. A character who just beat Avatar for the first time will be able to raise each of their attributes by 3 total, having attained NG+1. A character in NG+10 will be able to raise each of their attributes by 30 total. In addition, the amount of "points" an elixir will raise your attribute by is determined by how far away your character is from the current cap, determined by the current NG+ level you're playing on. Elixirs normally grant +1 to their respective attribute, and one elixir will only increase one attribute at a time.

* A character 8 or more points below the possible cap for their attribute will be able to find elixirs that grant +3 to their respective attribute.
* A character 16 or more points below the possible cap for their attribute will be able to find elixirs that grant +5 to their respective attribute.

This means in the same scenario from before, a NG+1 character in a NG+1 campaign would be able to find 3 +1 elixirs for each of their 5 stats before hitting their cap, whereas a NG+10 character in a NG+10 campaign would be able to find +5, +3 or +1 elixirs, depending on how far away they are from their cap of 30 per attribute. The same NG+10 character in a NG+1 campaign would only be able to find the same 3 +1 elixirs as the NG+1 character, as the cap is determined by current NG+, not max NG+.

Your current bonus to your attributes granted by your consumed elixirs can be found by hovering over each attribute in the character stats screen, showing the breakdown of each stat and the source it's gained from.

== Classes ==
In ''Heroes of Hammerwatch 2'', your chosen class determines your character's abilities, stats, and overall playstyle. You initially choose from four classes: '''[[Warrior]]''', '''[[Paladin]]''', '''[[Ranger]]''', and '''[[Wizard]]'''. As you progress, you'll unlock three more: '''[[Rogue]]''', '''[[Warlock]]''', and '''[[Sorcerer]]'''.

Each class offers three specializations, allowing further customization with new abilities and passive skills. Leveling up classes also provides valuable buffs to all your characters in both single and multiplayer games.

== Leveling Up ==
=== Level Cap ===
The level cap is 20, and you no longer gain '''Experience''' ({{icon|xp}}) once you reach level 20. The level cap increases by 5 each time the character beats the game and progresses to New Game Plus (NG+).

The formula for the level cap is: Level Cap = 20 + (Character NG+ × 5).

You can check your character's level cap by hovering over the '''Experience''' tracker in the character menu.

=== Attribute and Skill Points ===
You gain 3 '''Attribute''' ({{icon|attribute}}) and '''Skill''' ({{icon|star}}) Points for each level your character gains. Additional Points can also be earned through [[Guild]] Accomplishments.

'''Skill Points''' can be spent at the [[Training Grounds]] to upgrade your class abilities, at the [[Training_Grounds#Mastery_NPC_⭐|Weapon Mastery]] to attune different weapon types for increased damage, or at the [[Library]] to attune items whose '''Blueprints''' you’ve found.
