Limitless Poms
Removes Pom of Power level limits: Hephaestus blasts, Zeus's Ionic Gain and Hera's Born Gain keep improving with every Pom, with diminishing returns. Configurable per god.Limitless Poms
Some boons stop accepting Pom of Power once one of their values hits a hard limit. The Hephaestus blast cooldown, for example, never goes below 2 seconds, so after that point Poms are never offered for it again.
Limitless Poms removes those limits. Boons level up exactly like vanilla until they reach their limit. After that, every Pom keeps making them stronger, with diminishing returns.
What changes
| God | Boon | Vanilla | With Limitless Poms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hephaestus | Volcanic Strike, Volcanic Flourish, Smithy Rush | Blast cooldown stops at 2s. A Heroic Volcanic Strike is maxed at level 4. | Each extra Pom: -25% cooldown, down to 0.2s. 2s → 1.5s → 1.1s → 0.9s → … A Heroic Volcanic Strike maxes at level 12. |
| Zeus | Ionic Gain | Magick orb reappearance time stops at 2s. A Heroic Ionic Gain is maxed at level 6. | Each extra Pom: -25% time, down to 0.2s. A Heroic Ionic Gain maxes at level 14. |
| Hera | Born Gain | Magick Primed stops at 5. A Heroic Born Gain is maxed at level 9. | Each extra Pom: -1 Magick Primed, down to 1 (Magick stays a whole number). A Heroic Born Gain maxes at level 13. |
It works with every source of boon levels, not just Pom of Power: Pom Slices (shop and Icarus's Supply Drop), Echo's Pom Pom Pom, Natural Selection, Queen's Ransom, King's Ransom and Bridal Glow. Levels those used to waste on a maxed boon now count.
The game never lets Bridal Glow (or other rarity upgrades) pick a Hephaestus blast boon once its cooldown is 2s or lower. That vanilla rule still applies.
What does NOT change
- Boons that can't be upgraded with Poms in vanilla stay that way. This covers Legendary and Duo boons and every other fixed boon. The mod only continues scaling that Poms were already doing, and never adds levels to a boon that has none.
- Levels 1 up to the vanilla limit give exactly the vanilla numbers.
- Every boon not listed above is untouched.
