When two heroes enter into a relationship, one skill from each of their kits is selected and modified based on the relationship. High or low Affinity heroes have the greatest likelihood of forming relationships of the corresponding polarity, but it’s not guaranteed.īy mousing over the Affinity scale, you can see the chances that characters will form a relationship with each other. Any relationships that formed overnight will be presented here via click-to-reveal.

Those relationships last for the entire next region.Īfter arriving at the Inn, you’ll want to purchase and/or use your rest items to pump up your heroes’ affinities prior to hitting the ‘Rest’ button.

We, along with many of you in the community, recognized that the previous system was a little too intrusive and not tactical enough. Quirks, trinkets, and other factors can influence a character’s chance of becoming resolute. Rather they are moments of impact that can affect health, affinity, and character status.
