Shattered Pixel Dungeon/Warrior (2024)

The only hero unlocked by default, the Warrior is focused around armor and general survivability. He starts with a potion bandolier (velvet pouch since 0.9.3), 3 throwing stones (tier-1 thrown weapon), a worn shortsword as a weapon and cloth armor with a broken seal affixed to it.

He no longer starts with an extra point of strength, and he now doesn't receive a disadvantage to using thrown weapons.

Characteristics[]

Warrior starts with the Broken Seal as his unique item.

When affixed to armor the seal generates 1 point of shield every 30 turns. The shield doesn't decay over time, but it's capped at tier + level of the armor worn (as in a +1 tier-2 armor will cause the Broken Seal to grant a maximum of 3 shielding). It can also transfer a single upgrade applied to the armor while the seal is affixed to it, so it is highly recommended that the Warrior's first scroll of upgrade is used on the cloth armor. The Broken Seal can only be affixed to identified armor, and that armor cannot be cursed. However, it will still work if the armor becomes cursed while it is attached.

Warrior now automatically identifies the scroll of rage and potion of healing, rather than the potion of strength.

Gladiator[]

Hitting enemies with physical attacks (melee or missile weapons) generates combo. Unlike in vanilla PD combo doesn't increase attack damage, but allows the Hero to execute special moves.

After any successful attack the combo counter increases by 1. However it resets after not hitting anything for 5 turns (the timer can be extended by killing any enemy if you invested in cleave talent). After gathering at least 2 combo points a new button appears on the screen which lets the Hero execute a special move. Any move can be chosen with enough combo points, however each move can be used only once per combo and any move except Clobber and Parry resets the combo counter.

Special moves:

• At 2 combo, Clobber becomes available:

• At 4 combo, Slam becomes available:

• At 6 combo, Parry becomes available:

• At 8 combo, Crush becomes available:

• At 10 combo, Fury becomes available:

Berserker[]

Berserker gains rage by taking physical damage (before any damage reduction is applied). However, after not taking damage for 2 turns, he loses 6.7% x (HP / max HP)^2 of remaining rage every following turn; having lower health causes it to decrease much slower.

Rage will cause the Berserker to deal bonus physical damage; at 100% rage he will deal 50% more damage, lower amounts of rage will multiply this boost by their percentage (i.e. 90% rage will increase damage by 45%). With enraged catalyst talent active, enchantment proc rate is increased alongside with damage. While rage can exceed 100% if endless rage talent is active, bonus damage and enchantment proc rate won't increase further.

At 100% or more rage, Berserker can use berserk ability to gain bonus shielding. He will also automatically start berserking upon being reduced to 0 HP if he has deathless fury talent active, this takes priority over a blessed Ankh. Berserking grants (2 + 4 x (1 - (HP/max HP))^3) x max seal points of shielding, further increased by any rage above 100%. As long as the shielding holds, Berserker doesn't lose any rage. However, he loses 2.5% of remaining shielding, rounded up. When it's depleted, he loses all rage and needs to recover before he can gain rage again.

The Berserker will have to recover after berserking, and will be unable to gain rage until he does so. Recovering takes 100 turns, or, if berserking prevented death, 4/3/2 levels of experience depending on the level of deathless fury talent. The recovery time/XP needed is reduced by any rage over 100% Berserker had before recovering.

Berserker Talents[]

Class armor abilities[]

After defeating the fourth boss the warrior can use the Dwarf King's crown to transform his armor into warrior suit of armor and pick one of three class armor abilities.

Heroic leap[]

Allows the warrior to jump toward a target location over enemies, but not over walls and other solid obstacles.

Heroic Leap Talents[]

Shockwave[]

The warrior slams to the ground producing a shockwave which travels in a cone, it damages all enemies in it's path by 5 - 10 (increased by 1 - 2 for every point of strength above 10 and cripples them for 5 turns.

Shockwave Talents[]

Endure[]

The warrior skips 3 turns, during which he takes half the damage from all sources. Shrug it Off talent further increases the damage reduction.

After the effect ends, the Warrior receives the Endurance buff, which increases damage of his next melee attack within 10 turns by 25% of the damage endured. Sustained Retribution talents reduces the damage bonus, but makes it last for multiple hits. Extra damage provided by this ability is not effected by Berserker's damage multiplier.
