Mechanics
The Haste spell implements the following mechanics:
- When cast, the spell reduces the time spent on the next action by
caster:skillLevel()/2(where skillLevel is the caster's skill level) - This means the hero's next action takes fewer turns to complete
- The effect is temporary and only applies to one action
Usage
The Haste spell is most effective when:
- Preparing for a high-cost action (like drinking a potion during combat)
- Needing to quickly execute critical actions
- Timing important moves during boss fights
Classes
Classes that can use this spell include:
- Classes with Rogue affinity (e.g., Rogue class)
- Other classes that gain access through special means
Strategy
How to effectively use the Haste spell:
- Use before high-turn-cost actions (like drinking potions or eating food during combat)
- Plan your next action carefully after casting, as the effect only applies to one action
- Consider using when you're under heavy pressure and need to execute something quickly
