Mastery Perks

Mastery Perks act as the main progression system in the game, letting you pick and choose the best perks for your ideal playstyle and helps make the game less difficult and more accessible. Mastery Perk points can be gained via defeating bosses and gaining Mastery Crowns, which fill an EXP bar and contribute to gaining your next point. This can be sped up by activating Cinders which make the game more difficult in exchange for more EXP per crown. In the perk tree there are choice perks which let you pick only 1 perk out of multiple choices.

A maximum of 30 Mastery Points can be currently allocated in the perk tree, meaning that every perk cannot be enabled at once.
