Talent trees & synergies

Every 10 levels you earn a talent point: open the talent panel (hotkey T, or at the temple) and choose 1 of 3 passive talents per tier — 8 tiers, 24 talents per class, MMORPG-style.

• Synergies: talents come in colour-coded themes. Learn 3 of the same colour to unlock a set bonus — become a Flamelord, a Bloodrage berserker, a Plaguelord... 6 synergies to discover.
• Capstone auras: choose a level-80 talent and everyone will see it — a wisp orbits the Mage, the Berserker burns with sacred flames, a spectral mist shrouds the Necromancer.
• Living tooltips: every ability description updates with your talents and synergies; the panel shows your aggregated bonuses.
• Chose poorly? Respec at the temple for 100 coins.

How to play

1. Build the Temple of Classes with the hammer (Misc category): 20 Stone, 10 Fine Wood, 3 Surtling Cores. A shrine with Odin's statue, stone pillars and ever-burning braziers.
2. Interact with the temple (E) and choose your way.
3. Gain XP by killing monsters (tougher monsters give more; bosses give triple) or by offering at the temple: trophies +50 XP, boss trophies +500 XP, 10 coins +20 XP.
4. Cast abilities with Shift+1 … Shift+8 (configurable in the BepInEx config). A Valheim-style ability bar at the bottom shows icons, hotkeys, cooldowns and unlock levels.
5. Ability damage scales with your class level. You can abandon your way at the temple (resets progress).

Class and XP are stored in your character save.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/gianl.waysofthegods.cfg: ability hotkeys, talent panel hotkey and XP multiplier.
