Cinder

General

There are currently 16 cinder modifiers in the game. Cinders are intended to increase the games difficulty at a pace the player is comfortable with. The game is roughly planned to be played at around Cinder 12 difficulty-wise.

In addition to their respective modifiers, each Cinder will also add +0.5% health and armor per floor to all enemies, including Bosses. This does not apply to Automatons and Reapers.

Cinders also grant a Mastery/Paragon EXP multiplier, cinders 0-4 granting +30%, cinders 5-8 granting 20%, cinders 9-12 granting 10% and cinders 13-16 granting 5%.
