How does armor work in Tap Tap Loot?
Actor.cs: ApplyArmor()Armor in Tap Tap Loot provides flat damage reduction at a rate of 10 Armor = 1 damage blocked, applied to melee, ranged, spell, and thorn hits. Armor can never reduce damage below 5% of the raw hit, and the minimum damage taken is always 1.
dmg_after = max(max(1, rawDmg × 0.05), rawDmg − armor / 10)Works against every damage type.
How do critical hits work in Tap Tap Loot?
AbstractWeapon.cs line 69, EffectData.cs line 19A critical hit in Tap Tap Loot fires when a random roll between 0 and 1 is less than or equal to your CritChance stat, dealing 2× damage. The player starts with 10% crit chance by default. Crit only applies to melee and ranged attacks — spells never crit.
isCrit = Random(0,1) ≤ CritChanceDefault crit multiplier is 2.0.
How does dodge work in Tap Tap Loot?
Actor.cs: TryToDodge()Dodge in Tap Tap Loot is a percentage chance to completely avoid an incoming attack. A random roll greater than your Dodge stat (expressed as 0–1, e.g. 0.1 = 10%) skips the hit entirely — no damage, no thorns, no block check. Player starts at 0 dodge.
isDodge = Random(0,1) > DodgeStacks additively from item bonuses.
How does block work in Tap Tap Loot?

Block = number of hits absorbed per combatCharges never carry between fights.
How do thorns work in Tap Tap Loot?
Actor.cs: TryThorns()Thorns in Tap Tap Loot reflect a flat amount of damage back at attackers on every melee hit they land on the player. Thorn damage still passes through the attacker's armor, so it scales linearly with your Thorns stat.
Reflects Thorns flat damage as ThornDamage on melee hitsOnly triggers on melee hits to the player.
How does regeneration work in Tap Tap Loot?
Regeneration.cs, PassivPeriodicEffect.csRegeneration in Tap Tap Loot heals a percentage of your current HP on a tick interval. A tick fires every 50 keypresses in combat and every 100 keypresses out of combat (outside-fight factor 0.5). The healed amount is floor(Regeneration × currentHP).
heal = floor(Regeneration × currentHP)Ticks are driven by keypresses, not wall-clock time.
How does burn work in Tap Tap Loot?
BurnDamageLogicEffect.csBurn in Tap Tap Loot deals flat SpellDamage on a periodic tick. The base damagePerTick is 10 at max item level and scales exponentially (exponent 1.1) with item level. Because it's typed as SpellDamage, burn ticks go through armor and cannot be crit or dodged.
dmg = max(1, burnDamagePerTick)Minimum 1 damage per tick.
How does poison work in Tap Tap Loot?
PoisonDamageLogicEffect.csPoison in Tap Tap Loot deals a percentage of the target's CURRENT HP per tick. The base fraction is 10% (0.1) at max item level and scales linearly with item level. Poison can never kill a target below 1 HP per tick — it always leaves the victim alive for the next hit.
dmg = max(1, currentHP × poisonFraction)Percent-HP damage hard-counters high-HP bosses.

ItemRegistrySO.cs: GetRandomRarityByLevel()Item drop level = 12×√biome + 0.6×biome − 12 (clamped 1-1000). The rarity roll is applied to that level.
