😤 Ever feel like playing well only reduces punishment… but isn’t actually rewarded?
⚡ You dominate a fight and end it in one turn… same reward as dragging it out for 10 turns
🎲 You get brutal RNG, drop to 10 HP early… then play perfectly to win, but still no extra reward
🪙 Hallway gold feels insignificant compared to card rewards
🧠 Smart decisions don’t translate into meaningful value
The game mostly rewards winning, not how well you played.
👉 That’s what this mod is trying to change.
🪙 CombatPerformanceBonus -> Turn skill into rewards
This mod adds combat objectives - small, clear goals that appear during fights and reward bonus gold when completed.
Think of them like 🎯 mini-quests during combat, designed to influence your decisions on key turns:
🛡️ Do you defend perfectly to take 0 damage?
🔥 Or push damage to hit “Deal 18 damage in one turn” for bonus gold?
Every turn becomes a meaningful tradeoff between safety, efficiency, and reward.
👉 Even with bad RNG, strong play can now convert into real cold hard cash.
Explanation of Rankings:
⏰Tempo: How quickly you finish the fight.
⚔️Attack: How much damage pressure you keep up turn after turn.
⚡Energy Efficiency: How well you convert energy into effective results (damage,block and everything else).
⚙️Engine: How well your deck cycles (card draws, discards, exhausts), and how much you power yourself up with buffs/strength
🛡️Defense: How well you avoid or block damage across turns.
💔Control: How much debuff pressure (weakens, vulnerable etc) you keep on enemies. Killing enemies before them getting an attack off also increases this score
