In-Game Text

"But now at last fair fall the welcome hour
That sets me free, whene'er the thick night glow
With beacon-fire of hope deferred no more.
All hail!

Fire of the night, that brings my spirit day,
Shedding on Argos light, and dance, and song,
Greetings to fortune, hail!"

– The Orestia, Aeschylus

Brazier Forging allows you to construct defensive Braziers whose illumination can defend any Homestead or Town from whatever horrors may lurk in the dark hours of the night.

Aggressive Defense Structures

Aggressive Defense Structures are Structures that require Fuel and are activated to fire on Criminals as soon as a Crime! icon.png Crime! is committed on Protected land within their range. Aggressive Defense light and fire automatically as long as they have ammo.

Aggressive Defense Damage

All Aggressive Defense Structures do a base amount of Black Bile which scales negatively with the more of the SAME Aggressive Defense Structures which are within its range. For instance this means the more Blazing Brazier which overlap in range, the less Black Bile damage each will do per shot. This however, is largely moot, as the real power of Aggressive Defenses is their ability to deal Critical Damage. For each shot there is a 5-10% chance the shot will Critically Hit, which will deal a high % of Black Bile damage and a smaller % of Blood damage based on the Criminal's remaining Humours. Crit Chance for Braziers can be increased by raising your Brazier's Purity. Overall what this means is that because the current goal of Aggressive Defense is Critical Damage spam, having MORE Aggressive Defenses Structures is almost always a better Defense than having just a few.

Brazier Purity

When Collecting Charcoal icon.png Charcoal from a Coal Clamp icon.png Coal Clamp there is a chance to receive an Unscathed Wood icon.png Unscathed Wood instead with a Purity equal to the average of all the Woodblock icon.png Woodblocks used in the Coal Clamp's construction. Woodblock Purity is influenced by Gardening Purity. The Purity of a Baby Brazier icon.png Baby Brazier and Blazing Brazier icon.png Blazing Brazier always starts a Purity of 0%, but each time an Unscathed Wood is added with a Purity higher than your Brazier, that Brazier gains 10% of the difference. An Unscathed Wood can be added even if the Brazier is full. The Purer your Brazier is the higher the chance of your Brazier dealing Critical Damage.
