Introducing Well-Rounded Balance (WRB)

Are you tired of repetitive runs or RoR2's unbalanced gameplay? WRB is a mod that rebalances almost the entire game, in a similar fashion to CU0-CU4, but with vast improvements. For a full list of changes, check out the WRB Google Doc.

Please note that the following mods are likely to be incompatible with WRB:

You may be able to get them working by adjusting the config, but we will not provide special compatibility for them. The mod is currently balanced around vanilla, but we plan to add compatibility for item mods in the future.

If any of these changes seem suspicious, you likely don't have the context of what the mod does in other aspects. This is just an overview; it's better to play it first, then judge. We don't care about your negative feedback without actually trying the mod. Especially the death threats and doxxing like one of the devs has gotten, lmao grow up.

And of course, the mod is still in its early days, so it's bound to change. We also have a pretty expansive config that will feature more options as time goes on. There is a module config that lets you turn off any large part of the changes, so that you can don't have to spend years turning off every individual feature.

Scaling Reworks

Scaling is now linear but more aggressive, meaning it will be faster in the early game and cool off slightly during loops. This is intended to encourage players to play efficiently and make the game more engaging. The difficulty now actually scales with time, and the director spawns more enemies at a much faster pace. Gold scaling has also been heavily reworked, so you can't just kill a few enemies and buy out the whole stage. Pre-spawned enemies now give gold as well.

Major Item Reworks

There are too many to list here, so please check the Google Doc for more information. Here are some examples:

Icon	Name	Description
	Hunter's Harpoon	Killing an enemy increases movement speed by 16%, up to 3 (+3 per stack) times for 5 seconds.
	Ignition Tank	Gain a 15% chance to ignite enemies on hit. Ignite effects deal +200% (+200% per stack) more damage over time.
	Pocket I.C.B.M.	All missile items and equipment fire an additional missile. Gain a 10% (+10% per stack) chance to fire a missile that deals 150% TOTAL damage.
	Symbiotic Scorpion	Inflict venom on hit, dealing 750% (+200% per stack) base damage over 5s and stealing 20 (+10 per stack) armor for 5s.
	Defense Nucleus	Gain 15 armor. Upon using your equipment, unleash a devastating laser for 70% (+70% per stack)damage per second for every second of your equipment's base cooldown.
	Planula	After standing still for 0.5 seconds, summon the unmatched power of the sun that ignites enemies every 0.35s for 5s (+5s per stack).
	Focused Convergence	Increase teleporter event rewards by 2 (+2 per stack). Teleporter events are 200% (+200% per stack) harder.

Elite Reworks

Elites now only have increased health (4x for T1 and 6x for T2) and much more pronounced, unique, and interesting effects. They no longer have increased damage. Here are some examples:

Icon	Name	Description
	Blazing	Passively has -25% damage. Burns on hit for 50% TOTAL Damage. 4 seconds after spawning, spews two large pools of fire that deal 150% base damage per second and after that does the same every 11 seconds. Upon death, spews 4 small pools of fire for 150% base damage per second.
	Overloading	Passively has +50% increased movement speed. Passively teleports every 6s for 10-30m of distance. Upon teleporting, creates a sphere that grants all allies +50% movement speed for 6s with a radius of 20-45m depending on base maximum health.

Interactable Reworks

Interactables as a whole have been made a bit more interesting and have much less RNG impact on your item count by reducing/removing their director credit costs and limiting their count. Here are some examples:

Mechanic Reworks

Here are some examples:

Smaller Features

The mod integrates some smaller mods to give players the intended, better experience, such as:

This means you don't need to have these installed with Well Rounded Balance enabled.
