~~~~~~~~GAMEPLAY~~~~~~~~~

Special Traits

While is body its extremly fragile, it is also very elastic and reactive. Every 10% HP that Chimera loses, he gains a -2% Critics received bonus, that lasts for 5 rounds.
Additionally, the Chimera doesnt has a move button: Instead, he has Refreshig waves, an skill that is used every time after the combat ends…
While scoring a critical hit, Chimera will gain an ACC buff and will clear every debuff from himself. Additionally, he will buff any monster-based hero if they are Trasnformed (Abomination, Werewolf, Lamia, etc)

Chimera has 1 custom Affliction and 1 custom Virtue, both have 50/50 chance to happen. Due to code limitations, this means he is NOT affected by quirks, trinkets, items, etc that buff or debuff his Virtue chance.

Trinkets and Camping

Chimera comes with 18 trinkets, one being shared for all heroes (Including DLC, and Sunward!) and 4 unique camping skills. You can take a look at them on the screenshots above. To prevent the classical "trinket bloating" issue that most heroes (including vanilla) have, every Chimera trinket is limited to 1. He has a very low chance to find them at combats end, so this will ensure you have a chance to meet them while playing him! The rarity of the trinkets you may find depends on the difficulty of the Dungeon you are playing in.

Other Info

-His canon name is Kafka
-Is Religious
-Formerly, he was a respectable Hunter, that due to illnes, started to loose his vision and had to stop working
-He obtained his shapeshifting abilities after an experiment, covered by "a tall, bearded man with a deep voice". It didnt ended well…

Know Issues
