The Mastery Tree

Hello!! Update!

Mastery Tree

Lizzy has been hard at work improving the Research Tree, and eventually decided to throw it all out the window and start over.

Thanks, Lizzy.

The new Mastery Tree takes Mastery Points to upgrade perks. These take Mastery XP to earn, with a conversion of 1,000 XP to 1 Point. XP can be earned from killing Tryhard Bots, streaking with a megastreak active, or dying with Nightmare. You can also earn 2 Mastery Points from Prestiging.

There are a significant number of QOL improvements compared to the Research Tree. Players don’t need to fully max a perk before moving on to the next one, and there are no upgrade times!

Mastery Tree perks can do a variety of things, from upgrading Tryhard Bots, to improving Megastreaks, to unlocking the new Monk NPC (you’ll need to be Prestige LIII to figure out what he does!). Megastreaks (including 2 new late-game ones) are now unlocked through this menu, so the new Tree should be a more central point of progression.

The Mastery Tree is unlocked at Prestige III, and any points you would’ve earned from Prestiging will be rewarded to you retroactively. You will also receive a Mastery Point for every Research Tree perk you own.

A huge thanks to TomCat for designing this part of the update.

First Aid Egg Rework

The First Aid Egg is now the Boost Egg, and it can do more than just provide First Aid.

At Prestige L, a new Renown Upgrade is available that unlocks two new abilities for the Boost Egg: +50% damage for 5 seconds, and Speed IV for 5 seconds.

The existing First Aid ability has also been reworked. It now provides 5 -> 3 hearts of instant healing and gives Regeneration IV for 10 seconds, with the Regeneration being lost if you get hit.

5 New Guild Levels

Assemble your guild and grind 5 more levels, unlocking 15 extra member slots and 2 new guild tag colors!

The guild level scaling has also been slightly reduced, in an attempt to make this task mildly less impossible.
