Cooldown

Cooldown is a timing mechanism in Remixed Dungeon that governs how frequently certain abilities, items, or effects can be used or reoccur.

Cooldown refers to the waiting period that must pass before a specific ability, item, or effect can be used again. This prevents overuse of powerful abilities and adds strategic timing to gameplay.

• Item Cooldowns - Time before certain items can be used again
• Ability Cooldowns - Time before special abilities can be activated
• Buff Cooldowns - Time intervals for buff effect updates
• Hero Ability Cooldowns - Class-specific ability timing restrictions

• Turn-Based: Cooldowns typically count down with each turn
• Duration: Varies depending on the specific ability or item
• Stacking: Multiple cooldowns can occur simultaneously
• Reduction: Some items or effects may reduce cooldown duration
• Reset: Cooldowns may reset under certain conditions

• Several artifacts have cooldown periods

• Time important abilities to make the most of cooldown periods
• Be aware of simultaneous cooldowns that might conflict

• Some subclass abilities have cooldowns between uses
• Certain hero classes have abilities with cooldown periods
• Cooldowns balance powerful class-specific abilities

• Cooldowns affect tactical decision-making in combat
