Thread: *Global Release* Taps of Eradine

Genre - Clicker, Idle (more idle than clicker tho)

How to play - Left click, Z, X, or space are all considered 'clicking' for the clicker part of the game.

Main gameplay -
- kill monsters by clicking: get coins
- waiting for npc allies to kill everything: get coins

Rare boss drops -
- Random Element shard
- Heart of Eradine (premium currency)

Elemental weakness and resistance -
- element circle: x2 damage or x1/2 damage
- outer circle: Fire > Leaf (wood?) > Lightning > Water > Fire ...etc
- inner circle: Light > Heart > Dark > Light
(not sure why dark beats light, but w/e)

_ Cost 'coins' _ (used as standard in-game currency)

->Open Spoiler<-

- unlock Nymphs to get passive dps
- upgrade Nymphs for higher passive dps/better super nymph abilities
- unlock 'Power Move' activate-able at various stages. Power Moves have very long cooldowns: ~30 minutes
- upgrade Power Moves for higher damage/better effects
- upgrade 'cosmo' (player?), increase 'click' damage

_ Cost 'Heart of Eradine' _ (used as main 'premium currency')

->Open Spoiler<-

- can be gained rarely by playing normally (achievements), daily spins, rebirth, or Nutaku gold purchase

- unlock/(purchase) super Nymph slots. Equip normal Nymph into slot to be able to 'cast'/use high damage abilities
--(all abilities have cast time) (nymphs can be swapped out and re-equiped at any time for no additional cost)
-- Slot #1 cost: 1Heart (given in tutorial)
-- Slot #2: 2H
-- Slot #3: 5H
-- Slot #4: 10H
-- Slot #5: 25H

- purchase 'shards of eradine' (or just element shards, w/e) for hearts, can also be earned very rarely in other ways
- purchase limited time 'coin bonus' to get 1000% coin drops for a certain amount of time (1 hour, 4 hrs, 8 hrs, 7 days)

- 'unlock' (purchase) "active bonus" (though it's totally passive)
-- only 1 bonus can be equipped at a time
-- first level costs 1 heart, lvl 2 costs 2 hearts (there are 7 diamonds representing each lvl ... so, max lvl 7?)
-- there are only 4 possible bonuses: +passive dps, +click dps, +% drops, +nymph attack speed (unsure if effects only super nymphs or not)

_ Cost 'Shards of Eradine' _ (they're just element shards)

->Open Spoiler<-

- 'evolve' nymphs to a higher/better form, dps gain, additional gallery unlocked (better portraits, but battle sprites remain the same)
cost appears to be ramping: 1, 2, 5, ?, ?, etc
each unlocked stage gives +50% Nymph dps (i.e. stage 2 gives +100%, stage 3 gives +150%, etc)
max limit is unknown, but each nymph has a set number of galleries

Initial thoughts: (note, that I have played hero clicker and some other clicker games before)

->Open Spoiler<-

- it's immediately apparent that 'clicking' is completely (virtually) worthless in this game. just upgrade nymphs and let them do damage
- super nymphs are (nearly) game breaking in terms of damage
- coins do not come in fast enough to counteract the rate of upgrade cost (so there's probably gonna be a lot of waiting)
- bosses have ~10x hp as the normal mobs, so if your super nymphs do all your damage, it's likely you'll be stuck on a boss for a long while
- strangely, it seems cheaper to unlock a new nymph than it is to upgrade most of the current ones
- activated abilities have obscenely long cool-downs
- achievements are pretty lack-luster in terms of rewards, so mainly just for novelty, I guess
- the side-tab / shop system is pretty wonky at times, unsure if it's because of unity or just odd/sticky tool-tips

Re-birthing system:

->Open Spoiler<-

- at level (stage?) 100 you can reset and start over
you get 1 heart for every 500 levels
you get 1 amrita for every 1000 levels

- you keep:
-- all unlocked galleries
-- all achievements
-- any/all element shards (currency)
-- any upgrades made to nymphs with said shards
-- hearts of eradine (currency)
-- all unlocked super nymph slots
-- any coin booster you may have purchased with hearts
-- any/all active bonus upgrades you have purchased with hearts

- you lose
-- all nymphs and their levels (but not evolve stages unlocked with element shards)
-- all coins
-- current stage back to 1
-- all cosmo power moves and all power move upgrades
-- all cosmo click upgrades

unfortunately, re-birthing at stage 100 is basically worthless as you get no hearts (currency) or amrita (end game currency)
and the rewards only upgrade every 50 additional stage

example: my current stage 250+ (but less than 300)
gives these re-birth rewards: 50k coin upon reset, and 3 random element shards

grinding lvl500 rebirths is good for hearts, do this until you can do lvl1000 runs.

Current number of nymphs: 43

Turns out Nymphs gain 1% crit chance per lvl. up to the max of 10%

Also, occasionally a strange glowing light ball (Orb of Eradine) will appear on the screen leaving long trails of white or red.
If you successfully catch it (it'll start moving fast and fly up to the coin currency at the top of the screen), it will drop a small treasure box in the battle area.
Upon opening it, you will receive an in-game mail with your prize in the attachment.

Recorded possible loot drops from Orb of Eradine: (in order of rarity)
- coins (the booby prize)
- Lotto Wheel Spin ticket
- Heart of Eradine
- Shard of Eradine
- Amrita?!?!

Bonus Actives (equipment) table
Two stats are:
- active - when equiped
- passive - when a different one is equiped
note: can only have 1 equiped at a time

Tried it during early access. Got bored after a day and never managed to get any amritas. Also too much furry art. Heard something about them banning auto clickers now too.

Unless they changed the nymphs, they were doing garbage damage for me during the beta. Went to level 500+.

Ugh, spent some shards of eradine evolving a nymph before I realized it was furry art. *shudder* Not my cup of tea.

How do you get more shards of eradine anyways? Been playing a while and didn't get any so I just stopped playing because that's like, the only thing the game seems to have over other auto-clickers. *shrug*

it seems that I just got my first one (a fire shard) to drop off the lvl 49 boss.

so, they may just be super rare boss drops.

other than that, you'll probably need to buy them with hearts. at least for the moment.


and if I understand correctly, the nymphs start more animal, but their higher forms become more and more human.

update

it appears hearts are also rare drops on bosses as well. err, or super bosses, whatever that is

Boss drops, buy them with hearts, or rebirth at level 100+. In all cases, the type of shard you get is random, so if you were hoping to get a particular type of shard for a particular character, most of the shards you get will be of the wrong type.

Phoenix popped to human form immediately on first evolve but Penguin stayed Penguin and got more furry after two evolves. I couldn't bear to evolve her further out of sheer fear XD;

The game runs like shit on Chrome taking up over 2GB of RAM. And even if it runs a little bit the gameplay isn't fun and feels more grindy than other auto clickers.

okay, maybe its just me, reading the first link..
there is a difference between "super moves" and "power moves"
Super moves are done automatically by your minions in the super nymph slots, and pop fairly quickly (1 to 10 seconds, depending on level/move- bar moves visibly). they are also fairly powerful (ie, 4500 electric damage every 4 seconds, for level 10 Frea)
The 6 "power move" (first at level 1?, second at level 25, etc, individually upgradeable), that you get might be the 30 minute one- tried the first one for 2000 coins (not gold), and is fairly useless if you haven't leveled "cosmo" (depends on if 20 x DPS" multiplies my actual dps, or cosmo damage for first level of first skill skill- even then 5k every 30 minutes is ridiculous compared to Frea's 4500 every 4 seconds...).
since I had the pre-reg bonus, and got a heart off the wheel,I bought a second super nymph slot, hopefully that lasts through reset. (starter pack's 3 super nymphs are supposed to last, so probably)

Peeves- might just be my screen size, (entire picture is bigger than my screen), but number display is awful. 5.9 k hp looks like "59k" on my machine, and it doesn't show 5.0... it right shifts the number and drops the 0 decimal. Coins are similar, and I don't understand what they are based on (was getting 1.3 k per monster at level 21, before I failed my first boss,then 1.2k for next 5 levels (currently at 26)

Anyone know what those white ball thing that zigzag through the screen sometimes are? I tried clicking it before, thinking it's like some other clickers, for the reward, but it was pretty hard and just kept zigzagging.

Winter is Coming doesn't work on treasure bosses, btw.
