💪 Strength & The Peak
Strength & The Peak
Strength is raw physical power built at The Peak by punching rocks and
standing in heat. It compounds with your ores, feeds your Damage 🗡, and even
scales the size of your character, and for Carnage
players it opens up the Volcano and lava fishing.
Unlocking Strength #
The Peak becomes available once you reach the Peakbound
Time Leap tier (Temporal Power 45). To actually unlock the
Strength stat you also need to have generated
1 QiDe Ticks and 1 QiDe Moments
(that's 1×10&sup4;&sup8; of each), then use the Unlock Strength anvil at The Peak.
🔃
Unlocking Strength is a reset. It wipes your Origin resources
(Ticks, Moments,
Seconds, Chrono Dust and their
upgrades) along with XP and
Temporal Power, and lowers your current Time Leap tier.
Your best-ever Time Leap tier is untouched, and none of your items are lost.
Pickaxes, swords, armor, relics, artifacts, accessories, charms, runes and potions all stay.
In exchange you keep the Strength stat forever.
Once unlocked, Strength never resets again, not to a
Seconds reset, a
Chrono Dust reset, a
Time Leap, or an Era reset.
It is a permanent pillar of your progression.
Building Strength at The Peak #
You build Strength two ways at The Peak: punching rocks
and standing in heat sources. Each spot has a multiplier, and better spots unlock as your
Strength climbs past their requirement. The higher the multiplier, the faster your Strength grows.
| Area | Type | Multiplier | Requirement |
|---|
| Small Rock | Punch | ×1 | |
| Medium Rock | Punch | ×3 | 10,000 |
| Big Rock | Punch | ×10 | 1M |
| Punching Bags | Punch | ×25 | 100M |
| Fire Pit | Pool | ×50 | 10B |
| Cooled Lava Pool | Pool Carnage | ×5,000 | 1 Sp |
| Molten Lava Pool | Pool Carnage | ×100,000 | 1 UDe |
| Toxic Lava Pool | Pool Carnage | ×100M | 100 QiDe |
🔥
Pools burn you if your Strength is below their requirement.
The higher-tier pools are lethal until you're strong enough. Meet the requirement and the flames become
purely cosmetic, and the pool starts paying out.
💡
Strength scales the size of your character model. If you'd rather stay
normal-sized, you can toggle that off in
Settings.
What Strength Boosts #
Strength isn't a dead-end stat. It loops back into the rest of your progression:
Ores
Strength gives massive boosts to your Coal, Bronze and Iron gains,
and those ores boost your Strength right back, a reciprocal loop that compounds the more you
grow either side.
Damage
Your Strength feeds into your Damage 🗡, making
combat hit far harder as you build it.
Character size
Purely visual, but your model grows with your Strength. A quick glance at another player tells
you roughly how strong they are.
The Volcano & Lava Fishing #
The Volcano is the lava-pool area reserved for the Carnage alignment.
Its three Carnage pools (Cooled, Molten, Toxic) each multiply your Strength enormously, and they add a
unique mechanic on top: lava fishing.
How it works
While you're standing in a qualifying pool, a lava fish bubble occasionally surfaces and homes in on
you. Click it (left or right) before it reaches you to reel in a reward.
If it reaches you
It hits for 400 🗡 and sets you ablaze for about 8 seconds. The
burn deals a slice of your max health ❤ each second, so don't let it
catch you.
| Catch | Odds | Reward |
|---|
| Lots of Strength | 62.5% | A big instant Strength payout, scaled by the pool you're in |
| Potion of Strength | 31.25% | +Damage 🗡 for 10 minutes |
| Rampage Potion | 6.25% | Rampage: escalating Damage 🗡 on every kill (up to +200%) |
🌊
Only Carnage aligns you with the flame. To others the Volcano is just certain
death.
