Characters & Perksets

Each character has 5 alternative perksets. Each set unlocks starting at a certain character level for a Mycelium cost, and contains base perks, level-up perks, and optionally a unique trait.

Important – how perksets work in a run: Only ONE perkset is active per run (chosen before the run starts).

The base perks and the trait of the chosen set apply once at the start of the run.
The level-up perks of the chosen set, however, are automatically applied on every level-up in addition to the normal perk choice.

A perkset is therefore more of a build decision than a linear progression – the other 4 sets remain inactive for the run.
