Strategy:Melee Types

Thomas: /* Angel of Berserk/Melee-based Characters */

{{infostrat switch}}

== General ==
Melee weapons are not very useful in general games because they are inaccurate without any levels in brute and do not deal enough damage to warrant their inconvenient range unless you are berserk. And, of course, if you're berserk then you might as well just shoot things - you'll get the massive bonus that berserk gives to your resistances either way.

Attempting to [[Medals#Conqueror Badge|conquer]] the game is one situation where a shooting strategy with melee as a secondary priority really works. Work towards a melee master trait (get the non-brute requirements first, though) and shoot things until they die as you normally would. Once you have your melee master trait, you can easily clear out the [[Unholy Cathedral]] on floor 17 (in fact, you could probably fight the cyberdemon with your chainsaw too) and claim your artifact melee weapon. From there the game should be reasonably simple; you have an extremely powerful murderstick and the traits to use it - go nuts!

== Angel of Berserk/Melee-based Characters ==
Unless attempting a [[Medals#Gargulec Medal|Gargulec Medal]] run, don't try to kill everything. [[former sergeant|Sergeants]] and, on higher difficulty levels, [[demon|demons]] will be difficult to deal with.

Sergeants, if they're getting in the way, can be dealt with by [[Strategy:Giftdropping|giftdropping]] but demons represent a source of unavoidable damage - they're faster and stronger than you, so run away before they get close! Also, hell's arena will murder you good - stay away even if everything's going great, it won't be worth it.

Other enemies will be a nuisance sometimes, but their attacks are much easier to avoid than the sergeants, who never miss, and the demons who are better at melee than you are right now. Use [[Tactics|running mode]] and [[Dodging|sidestep]] their projectiles as you approach to reduce the accuracy of other enemies, such as former captains and imps, to almost nothing.

As long as you have the Berserker trait by the time you're finishing up in [[The Chained Court]] then everything should be fine for the midgame. Once you have that trait and the chainsaw, you should still avoid fights with powerful enemies unless you're berserk. However, the trait will help you with that:

Berserker will make you berserk (which is basically super speed + extreme resistance to damage + deathtouch now that you have a chainsaw) after roughly 4 melee attacks in quick succession, or if you take a large percentage of your max HP in damage. Attacking four times means that you're probably taking damage from fighting, so Berserker only really works when you're willing to spend health on it. If a fight looks too dangerous to run in and get a berserk chain going, walk around the edges of the level and look for smaller fights or big powerups.

Once you defeat the cyberdemon and then clear the Unholy Cathedral - which is simpler than it sounds, you're rather good at 1v1 by this point - you will be given an artifact melee weapon, almost certainly the [[Longinus Spear]]. It deals enough damage to instantly kill anything, so at this point your only problem is getting close to your victims. Or, because you're certainly powerful enough to tear the final boss in half, you can just dive straight down to level 24 and do that.

=== Melee Marine - [[Traits#Vampyre_-_Marine_Only|Vampyre]] ===
Vampyre is a rather straightforward melee trait - it gives you HP back when you kill things, so the downside of Berserker (that it generally costs HP to activate) suddenly gets a lot easier to deal with in early levels.

Remember that you can farm pain elementals (or arch-vile respawns, for the daring marine) for decent HP gain if you do it right.

=== Melee Scout - [[Traits#Blademaster_-_Scout_Only|Blademaster]] ===
Blademaster gives you a free turn every time you kill something, so you can be more reckless when approaching groups of enemies. You're quite fast with Hellrunner 2 and the scout's natural speed, so a bunch of enemies won't get too many shots on you as you quickly run in and instantly destroy them one by one. If there's a lot of enemies, you'll probably even get Berserker to activate, at which point the fight becomes even easier.

=== Melee Technician - [[Traits#Malicious_Blades_-_Technician_Only|Malicious Blades]] ===
Malicious Blades gives you berserk-like resistance to all damage types except for acid and plasma as long as you have a knife (or other blade, [[chainsword]] and [[Azrael's Scythe]] for example) in your prepared weapon slot.

This can be extremely useful for melee characters who normally can't fight ouside of berserking, although you may have to watch out for [[Arachnotron|arachnotrons]] and [[former commando|former commandos]], because their attacks will go through your resistance and are fairly accurate even to a character with dodgemaster. It is also useful for ranged characters in some cases, because you don't need to actually use the knife to get the bonus, only hold it.

Strategy:Big Gun Types

2013-09-21T05:30:29Z

Thomas: oh no it's actually 50, I have been undone

{{infostrat switch}}

== General ==
'Big Guns' generally refer to the [[BFG 9000]] and weapons that can be assembled from a BFG and a few mods.

For the most part, the BFG has no weaknesses: It has all the wonderful properties of explosive weapons - massive damage and area - but its accuracy is perfect (that is, it will always explode at your chosen target unless it collides with an enemy first) and it can't harm you.

It does have one problem: It takes a lot of cells to fire a BFG and it will still destroy items and walls. If you're fully loaded then neither of these things will particularly matter to you unless you hit an invincibility globe like a dummy or something.

The BFG is great with bulk mods. One BFG shot will rarely be enough to completely solve whatever terrible situation you've found yourself in, but 3 will! Also, the BFG is commonly used as a power cell storage device (because an inventory slot can hold 50 cells... or it can hold a BFG which can hold 100) when it isn't being used as a gun - bulk mods will make it better at that.

Due to the way that BFGs can't spawn before the mid-late game, a character can't really specialise with BFGs. They are always useful as a backup weapon unless you are very reliant on a plasma rifle and need all of your power cells feeding in to the rifle.

{{infostrat switch}}

== General ==
Explosive weapons - [[rocket launcher|rocket launchers]] and [[missile launcher|missile launchers]] being the most common - are arguably better as a weapon for a generalist than as a weapon to base your entire strategy around.

Damage and knockback are not concerns for explosive weapons. Reloading after every shot is a hassle, but a shotgun-toting character will have Shottyman which also allows rocket launchers to be reloaded on the move.

The main weaknesses of explosive weapons are the way they can't be used in close range, for obvious reasons, and their terrible accuracy.

The first problem can be dealt with in two ways - using the rocket launcher's alternate fire (default hotkey: shift+F) will perform a rocket jump. This does less self-damage than you might expect and sends you flying away from whatever poor demon you pointed the rocket launcher at. You can also get Fireangel, which makes you immune to splash damage (including your own rocket jumps, so you won't actually be able to do them any more)

The accuracy problem means that you should either try to have the rocket's firing path travel through several enemies - one of them has to mess up the dodge, right? - or just aim at a nearby wall to do less damage but make it a sure thing.

== Explosive-based characters ==
A character that wants to use explosive weapons as much as possible is going to want a missile launcher. It can be gotten from the [[City of Skulls]] or the [[Abyssal Plains]]. You can also randomly find one if you're the king of luck.

The missile launcher completely solves the accuracy problem - it has 98% accuracy even at very long range. It still deals splash damage to you, but you can always just run away from close-up enemies before using it. Even in [[Tactics|running mode]], the missile launcher is still extremely accurate.

While the missile launcher is a perfectly fine weapon no matter what traits you have, shottyman takes it to the next level by allowing reloading on the move. The missile launcher already holds 4 rockets per 'clip' but sometimes you need more, I understand completely.

=== Explosive Technician - [[Traits#Fireangel_-_Technician_Only|Fireangel]] ===
Fireangel makes fighting in the open just a little bit less risky. Your immunity to splash damage allows you to get out of situations that are otherwise impossible to dodge through - Arch-Viles and revenants will no longer deal miss damage to you and [[mancubus|mancubi]] will only destroy items and walls with their haphazardly placed explosions, not you.

Of particular interest to an explosives expert is the fact that you no longer take damage from your own attacks, although this does mean that rocket jumping will no longer work.

{{infostrat switch}}

== General ==
Rapid-fire weapons deal the most 1v1 damage of any weapon type (even more than the BFG) and require the least-frequent reloading. If the enemies are coming at you one-by-one, rapid-fire weapons will leave them motionless on the ground before they can react.

The two main weapons in this group are the [[chaingun]] and [[plasma rifle]]. The chaingun is generally worse than shotguns unless your character has got traits that boost rapid-fire damage/accuracy, but the plasma rifle is rather handy on any character.

While chainguns deal bullet damage, a damage type that's rather average (but is heavily resisted by skeletal enemies - lost souls and revenants), plasma rifles deal plasma damage which is basically the best damage type you could ever ask for - it halves enemy armour before dealing damage and nothing really resists it. This, combined with the massive damage per second that a plasma rifle does, makes it an excellent weapon both for rapid-fire specialists and most characters in general.

All rapid-fire weapons can chainfire. By pressing the alternate fire key (default: shift+F) you can commit yourself to a chainfire sequence of actions. The first chainfiring action will shoot less bullets than normal, the second will shoot the regular amount of bullets, then the third (and all subsequent shots) will fire more than usual. If you think an enemy or group will take 4 or more firing actions to defeat, chainfiring will get more bullets in to them in less time.

You can cancel chainfiring at any time by pressing escape (or it will cancel automatically if all visible enemies die), meaning that you can purposefully do only one chainfire action to fire less ammo. This can be save ammo if you're only shooting at an enemy with very low HP.

== Rapid-fire-based characters ==
Rapid-fire weapons are generally very inaccurate, and don't have an easy way to get around it like rocket launchers do. Generally if you want to use rapid-fire weapons (especially the chaingun in the early-mid game) you need to take points in either Son of a Bitch or Eagle Eye. SoB affects all of the shots you fire in a given turn, so a chaingun (which fires 4 shots while regularly firing or a max of 6 while chainfiring) will get much more benefit than a weapon that only fires one shot per turn. Eagle Eye will also increase your damage just by making you miss less often.

Rapid-fire weapons generally use more ammo than other weapons - especially if you can't get eagle eye for some reason. Agility mods on your weapons will help in this case, but you should still bring around a large amount of ammo unless you're going for Ammochain.

=== Rapid-fire Marine - [[Traits#Ammochain_-_Marine_Only|Ammochain]] ===
Ammochain reduces all firing actions from using N ammo (where N is the amount of shots you fire) to using only 1, no matter what. This means that you need to bring around much less ammo than normal and also that you'll never have to reload halfway through a fight ever again.

Because it blocks Eagle Eye, this master trait means that you'll definitely want to put one or more agility mods on your weapons.

=== Rapid-fire Scout - [[Traits#Cateye_-_Scout_Only|Cateye]] ===
Cateye's effects aren't quite as powerful as ammochain, but it requires fewer traits and blocks only traits that you probably weren't going to get anyway - so it gives you more flexibility in your trait choices. In particular, this trait does not block eagle eye, and if you want to shoot a plasma rifle at extremely far targets then you're going to need some points in it.

Enemy vision range will be 2 shorter than yours, giving you two free shots as they try to get closer to you. Or you can be a little stealthy and walk away before they notice you, giving you time to prepare a little more if they're powerful and in a tricky spot.

=== Rapid-fire Technician - [[Traits#Entrenchment_-_Technician_Only|Entrenchment]] ===

Entrenchment also doesn't block Eagle Eye, which is nice. The two armor points you get from TaN 2 (and you'll probably be in red armor by this point, so that's an extra 4) combined with a 30% resistance to all damage while chainfiring gives you an extreme ability to sit there and take punishment, but you will still get overwhelmed by groups of enemies.

In particular, this trait reduces your reliance on corner-shooting but still requires you to try and fight one-on-one. You might be surprised at how little damage you take from arch-viles and revenants when sitting down and chainfiring them with red armor on, no need to hide behind a corner. Watch out for plasma damage, which is only resisted by blue armor (plus your master trait, of course) and halves your otherwise massive armor score.

== '''About Shotguns''' ==

=== '''Overview and Strategy''' ===
{{infostrat switch}}
The weapons from the shotgun family of DoomRL all have an cone-shaped area of effect attack that makes them unique and powerful. Shotguns never miss any target in their affected area, and they always do at least one damage to each target. The size of the shotgun blast varies from weapon to weapon. It is governed by two parameters: range and spread. The range of a shotgun determines how far the blast extends from the attacker, and the spread determines the half-width of the blast when it reaches it's furthest point.

Shotgun damage also diminishes over distance. Each shotgun has a reduction rating that determines what percentage of damage is taken off per tile of [[distance]]. This penalty is applied linearly, and it is applied even at point-blank range. Rounding is to the nearest integer (0.5 rounds to even).

DoomRL uses shotguns with four different Area of Effect types:

|}

=== '''Area of Effect Details''' ===
{{Technical}}
To calculate a shotgun's area of effect, first a target square is calculated by extrapolating from the vector pointing at the manually targeted square. The true target will be a tile that is at the shotgun's maximum range with an approximately parallel vector. Then, for each tile in a (2 × spread + 1) side-length square around the target, the game traces out the path of a missile until it hits a wall. (Shotgun blasts go through enemies.) The missile paths are truncated if the distance along one of the axes becomes greater than the shotgun's range. For each tile that was traced out in at least one of the missile paths, damage is applied.

Strategy:Shotgun Types

2013-09-21T04:32:32Z

Thomas:

{{infostrat switch}}

== General ==
Shotguns work slightly differently to most weapons. They do not have a projectile - instead they attack a cone-shaped area in the firing direction.

Shotguns can't miss unless the target is not actually within the cone. Instead, their penalty at long range is damage drop-off, which makes them deal a little bit less damage for every tile between the shotgun and the target. Each shotgun has a different damage drop-off, with the combat shotgun being rather good at long range and the double shotgun being completely awful at long range.

Shotguns will make up the cornerstone of the early game firepower, and remain useful for a long time even if focusing on another weapon type due to their perfect accuracy and good, efficient damage without desperately needing shotgun-specific traits like most weapons do. Shotguns excel at attacking groups of enemies at close to medium range, as each enemy will take damage, even if they're behind another enemy.

Shotguns are particularly good at two important tactics - Corner-shooting and Radar-shooting.
Radar-shooting means firing shells down a corridor or in to a far away corner of a seemingly-empty room. Enemies cry out in pain when they take damage, so if you hear an enemy yell after your shot, they're hanging around just outside of vision range. Shotguns are good at this because they don't miss (although, they do have a maximum range) and they attack numerous tiles at once.

Corner-shooting is an extremely important tactic that is useful for all non-melee characters. Hiding behind a corner will hide you from enemies, but you'll still be able to see them. If you then shoot them with a shotgun repeatedly, they'll attempt to run at you (because they can't see you) while you constantly knock them back. Extremely powerful enemies can be taken out with a regular shotgun by relying on this tactic.

Lastly, shotguns will generally knock enemies back a square or two even at mid-long range. This is more than just important for corner shooting, you can use it to push tough enemies in to lava or barrel explosions too.

== Angel of Shotgunnery/Shotgun-based characters ==
Shotguns are great weapons that almost every character will use at least once, so naturally a character who primarily (or exclusively) uses shotguns won't feel too restricted by their choice.

The main weaknesses of shotguns are not putting out quite as much 1v1 damage as rapid-fire weapons do and their poor damage type - shrapnel. Shrapnel damage doubles armor before dealing damage, so high-armor enemies will take little damage from shotguns, especially at long range.

This means that the correct master trait choice for Angel of Shotgunnery is almost always Army of the Dead - which completely solves one of your problems by changing the shotgun damage type to one that completely pierces armor. If you're just doing a regular game (or a challenge that does not restrict you to one weapon type) then you can go for a different master trait and rely on something else, such as a rocket launcher or BFG, for singular powerful enemies.

As a shotgun speciailist, you will almost certainly get Shottyman (a trait that is required for all of the following master traits), which makes weapons with long reload times suddenly not as bad. In particular the [[elephant gun]] - a regular shotgun with two power mods attached - works very well as long as you remember to never actually reload it manually.

=== Shotgun Marine - [[Traits#Army_of_the_Dead_-_Marine_Only|Army of the Dead]] ===

On Angel of Shotgunnery, this trait will allow you to take out more powerful enemies (such as barons and the cyberdemon) without having to worry about getting up close to overwhelm their armor. How handy!

=== Shotgun Scout - [[Traits#Shottyhead_-_Scout_Only|Shottyhead]] ===

Shottyhead (and also gunrunner, another good choice for shotgun-specialists) makes firing extremely safe. Your firing time with this trait will be about 0.3 seconds, which isn't quite instantaneous but might as well be if you're good at turn-timing horseplay.

With a [[tactical shotgun]] or [[assault shotgun]] your corner-shooting will be insane, 3 shots per second with no need to pump or reload beween each shot, you'll have to pass turns occaisionally just to give the enemy a chance to get back in range!

You can also bring around a double shotgun and fight up close in the open if you have confidence in your ability to manipulate turn order. You are extremely fast at performing any combat action, the only things that will be able to touch you are [[arch-vile|Arch-Viles]] and [[revenant|revenants]]! Because I can assume that you're probably not playing Angel of Shotgunnery due to the fact that you have this instead of Army of the Dead, they can be handled with the BFG or something, it's not like you need all those cells.

=== Shotgun Technician - [[Traits#Fireangel_-_Technician_Only|Fireangel]] ===

Fireangel makes fighting in the open just a little bit less risky, and is also handy for people planning on lugging around a big rocket launcher. Your immunity to splash damage allows you to get out of situations that are otherwise impossible to dodge through - Arch-Viles and revenants will no longer deal miss damage to you and [[mancubus|mancubi]] will only destroy items and walls with their haphazardly placed explosions, not you.

If you're planning on heading on in to the [[City of Skulls]] or [[Abyssal Plains]] for a missile launcher, its almost-perfect accuracy and your immunity to splash damage will combine to make a wepaon that's excellent for fighting in general. And just like your shotguns, it can be reloaded on the move with Shottyman! Make sure to pick up a lot of rockets to make full use of it if you do get one.

Strategy:Pistol Types

2013-09-21T03:50:40Z

Thomas: Whoops power mods actually give +2 on sharpshooter pistols

{{infostrat switch}}

== General ==
Pistols aren't very useful in general games because of their reliance on pistol-specific traits - [[Traits#Son_of_a_Gun|son of a gun]] and [[Traits#Dualgunner|dualgunner]]. If you aren't getting these traits, the pistol will see little use beyond level 1 - the shotgun reloads quickly enough to not need a backup weapon and the pistol is no better at very long range than the shotgun is.

However, if you get these traits and use pistols as your primary weapon outside of an Angel of Marskmanship game then they'll be rather efficient and powerful for general fighting, and you can keep a larger weapon (such as a missile launcher, powerful shotgun or BFG) for larger groups of enemies.

== Angel of Marksmanship/Pistol-based characters ==
Pistols are extremely ammo-efficient and fast once you have a few levels of Son of a Gun. Their weaknesses are frequent reloading and poor accuracy at long range. These problems can be dealt with by getting traits, but generally modding your pistol(s) will be enough.

Fighting things one on one is more important with pistols than any other weapon - you don't have any AoE unless you get a unique pistol or something, and also reloading two pistols in the middle of a fight is a bad idea and it's something you'll have to do if too many enemies chase you down.

The most important mods for pistols depend on your master trait - but agility and bulk are good in general if you're not going for a master trait for some reason.

=== Pistol Marine - [[Traits#Bullet_Dance_-_Marine_Only|Bullet Dance]] ===
Bullet Dance gets your shots out faster, so you spend less time per enemy. Reloading after each enemy is still an unfortunate problem, so your pistols should probably be bulk modded to cut down on that.

Bullet Dance is generally considered to be the worst pistol master trait, so it should be avoided unless you want to be a marine for other reasons.

=== Pistol Scout - [[Traits#Gun_Kata_-_Scout_Only|Gun Kata]] ===
Gun Kata makes your next shot instantaneous when you dodge an attack (See [[Dodging]]), and automatically reloads your pistols whenever you kill something.

Gun Kata is probably the stronger choice of the two dual-pistol master traits. With hellrunner 2 and dodgemaster, your dodges are extremely likely to work so as long as there are no always-hit enemies hanging around you can constantly dodge and only stand still when taking free shots.

However, some attacks deal damage even when you dodge them ([[arch-vile|Arch-Vile]] and [[Revenant]] attacks, for instance) so you'll need HP for them, and some attacks cannot be dodged (only shotgun-based attacks).

With Gun Kata, your reloading is no longer an issue (perhaps the best part of the trait) so agility mods may serve you better than bulk mods. 12 shots is generally enough to kill anything that moves already, just make sure they all reach their target.

=== Pistol Technician - [[Traits#Sharpshooter_-_Technician_Only|Sharpshooter]] ===
Sharpshooter is a single-pistol master trait. It guarantees maximum damage on all pistol shots and, because of Eagle Eye 3, might as well guarantee hits too.

The main plan with sharpshooter is to get enough damage where knockback is guaranteed. Son of a bitch might sound like a good idea, but Whizkid 1 is actually better. Power mods guarantee +2 damage - more than SoB, and whizkid 1 gives you the ability to put two extra power mods on for +4 damage! Once your pistol has 3 power mods on it, you can either get SoB if your damage is still too low (unlikely), whizkid 2 for a couple of bulk mods, or finesse/reloader to get your knockback shots happening more often.

== General ==
Pistols aren't very useful in general games because of their reliance on pistol-specific traits - [[Traits#Son_of_a_Gun|son of a gun]] and [[Traits#Dualgunner|dualgunner]]. If you aren't getting these traits, the pistol will see little use beyond level 1 - the shotgun reloads quickly enough to not need a backup weapon and the pistol is no better at very long range than the shotgun is.

However, if you get these traits and use pistols as your primary weapon outside of an Angel of Marskmanship game then they'll be rather efficient and powerful for general fighting, and you can keep a larger weapon (such as a missile launcher, powerful shotgun or BFG) for larger groups of enemies.

== Angel of Marksmanship/Pistol-based characters ==
Pistols are extremely ammo-efficient and fast once you have a few levels of Son of a Gun. Their weaknesses are frequent reloading and poor accuracy at long range. These problems can be dealt with by getting traits, but generally modding your pistol(s) will be enough.

Fighting things one on one is more important with pistols than any other weapon - you don't have any AoE unless you get a unique pistol or something, and also reloading two pistols in the middle of a fight is a bad idea and it's something you'll have to do if too many enemies chase you down.

The most important mods for pistols depend on your master trait - but agility and bulk are good in general if you're not going for a master trait for some reason.

=== Pistol Marine - [[Traits#Bullet_Dance_-_Marine_Only|Bullet Dance]] ===
Bullet Dance gets your shots out faster, so you spend less time per enemy. Reloading after each enemy is still an unfortunate problem, so your pistols should probably be bulk modded to cut down on that.

Bullet Dance is generally considered to be the worst pistol master trait, so it should be avoided unless you want to be a marine for other reasons.

=== Pistol Scout - [[Traits#Gun_Kata_-_Scout_Only|Gun Kata]] ===
Gun Kata makes your next shot instantaneous when you dodge an attack (See [[Dodging]]), and automatically reloads your pistols whenever you kill something.

Gun Kata is probably the stronger choice of the two dual-pistol master traits. With hellrunner 2 and dodgemaster, your dodges are extremely likely to work so as long as there are no always-hit enemies hanging around you can constantly dodge and only stand still when taking free shots.

However, some attacks deal damage even when you dodge them ([[arch-vile|Arch-Vile]] and [[Revenant]] attacks, for instance) so you'll need HP for them, and some attacks cannot be dodged (only shotgun-based attacks).

The main plan with sharpshooter is to get enough damage where knockback is guaranteed. Son of a bitch might sound like a good idea, but Whizkid 1 is actually better. Power mods guarantee +1 damage just like SoB does, but whizkid 1 gives you the ability to put two extra power mods on for +4 damage, not just +1. Once your pistol has 3 power mods on it, you can either get SoB if your damage is still too low (unlikely), whizkid 2 for a couple of bulk mods, or finesse/reloader to get your knockback shots happening more often.

Strategy:Melee Types

2013-09-21T03:15:01Z

Thomas:

{{infostrat switch}}

== General ==
Melee weapons are not very useful in general games because they are inaccurate without any levels in brute and do not deal enough damage to warrant their inconvenient range unless you are berserk. And, of course, if you're berserk then you might as well just shoot things - you'll get the massive bonus that berserk gives to your resistances either way.

Attempting to [[Medals#Conqueror Badge|conquer]] the game is one situation where a shooting strategy with melee as a secondary priority really works. Work towards a melee master trait (get the non-brute requirements first, though) and shoot things until they die as you normally would. Once you have your melee master trait, you can easily clear out the [[Unholy Cathedral]] on floor 17 (in fact, you could probably fight the cyberdemon with your chainsaw too) and claim your artifact melee weapon. From there the game should be reasonably simple; you have an extremely powerful murderstick and the traits to use it - go nuts!

== Angel of Berserk/Melee-based Characters ==
Unless attempting a [[Medals#Gargulec Medal|Gargulec Medal]] run, don't try to kill everything. [[former sergeant|Sergeants]] and, on higher difficulty levels, [[demon|demons]] will be difficult to deal with.

Sergeants, if they're getting in the way, can be dealt with by [[Strategy:Giftdropping|giftdropping]] but demons represent a source of unavoidable damage - they're faster and stronger than you, so run away before they get close! Also, the chained court will murder you good - stay away even if everything's going great, it won't be worth it.

Other enemies will be a nuisance sometimes, but their attacks are much easier to avoid than the sergeants, who never miss, and the demons who are better at melee than you are right now. Use [[Tactics|running mode]] and [[Dodging|sidestep]] their projectiles as you approach to reduce the accuracy of other enemies, such as former captains and imps, to almost nothing.

As long as you have the Berserker trait by the time you're finishing up in [[The Chained Court]] then everything should be fine for the midgame. Once you have that trait and the chainsaw, you should still avoid fights with powerful enemies unless you're berserk. However, the trait will help you with that:

Berserker will make you berserk (which is basically super speed + extreme resistance to damage + deathtouch now that you have a chainsaw) after roughly 4 melee attacks in quick succession, or if you take a large percentage of your max HP in damage. Attacking four times means that you're probably taking damage from fighting, so Berserker only really works when you're willing to spend health on it. If a fight looks too dangerous to run in and get a berserk chain going, walk around the edges of the level and look for smaller fights or big powerups.

Once you defeat the cyberdemon and then clear the Unholy Cathedral - which is simpler than it sounds, you're rather good at 1v1 by this point - you will be given an artifact melee weapon, almost certainly the [[Longinus Spear]]. It deals enough damage to instantly kill anything, so at this point your only problem is getting close to your victims. Or, because you're certainly powerful enough to tear the final boss in half, you can just dive straight down to level 24 and do that.

=== Melee Marine - [[Traits#Vampyre_-_Marine_Only|Vampyre]] ===
Vampyre is a rather straightforward melee trait - it gives you HP back when you kill things, so the downside of Berserker (that it generally costs HP to activate) suddenly gets a lot easier to deal with in early levels.

Remember that you can farm pain elementals (or arch-vile respawns, for the daring marine) for decent HP gain if you do it right.

=== Melee Scout - [[Traits#Blademaster_-_Scout_Only|Blademaster]] ===
Blademaster gives you a free turn every time you kill something, so you can be more reckless when approaching groups of enemies. You're quite fast with Hellrunner 2 and the scout's natural speed, so a bunch of enemies won't get too many shots on you as you quickly run in and instantly destroy them one by one. If there's a lot of enemies, you'll probably even get Berserker to activate, at which point the fight becomes even easier.

=== Melee Technician - [[Traits#Malicious_Blades_-_Technician_Only|Malicious Blades]] ===
Malicious Blades gives you berserk-like resistance to all damage types except for acid and plasma as long as you have a knife (or other blade, [[chainsword]] and [[Azrael's Scythe]] for example) in your prepared weapon slot.

This can be extremely useful for melee characters who normally can't fight ouside of berserking, although you may have to watch out for [[Arachnotron|arachnotrons]] and [[former commando|former commandos]], because their attacks will go through your resistance and are fairly accurate even to a character with dodgemaster. It is also useful for ranged characters in some cases, because you don't need to actually use the knife to get the bonus, only hold it.

Badges are the necessary "replay value" component of DoomRL. There are a total of 147 badges, split into six categories:

*'''Bronze''' badges are the easiest to achieve. Anyone should be able to get these after they start playing the game.
*'''Silver''' badges are the "medium" set of badges to achieve. They are a bit harder and more luck-based than the bronze, but the average player should get all of these over time.
*'''Gold''' badges are middle ground, but are certainly the beginning of a difficult road ahead, with many requiring Ultra-violence victories. The average player should strive to get all of these as a long term goal in their quest to become a veteran.
*'''Platinum''' badges are the hard ones, forcing you to challenge yourself on the Nightmare! difficulty. A normal player shouldn't get more then a handful of these in their field of expertise, and veterans will have significant trouble scrounging up the rest.
*'''Diamond''' badges are immensely difficult to get. Though not quite as impossible as they used to be, they require not only a veteran's worth of experience but a great deal of luck at the same time. If you obtain one of these, it is highly recommended that you post your mortem [http://forum.chaosforge.org on the Chaosforge forums] as proof, for it is quite a boast to say that you have gained a Diamond badge.
*'''Angelic''' badges are all absurdly difficult not only to achieve, but even to plan for in concept. Most angelic badges require incredible intimate knowledge of the game and the patience to methodically disassemble every problem the game throws at you and solve them without error. It is no exaggeration to say that the Angelic badges were created for maybe two or three people to ever earn.

Badges improve your [[Ranks#skill ranks|skill rank]] and are necessary to gain access to all of the [[Game Settings|difficulties and challenges]] in DoomRL.

{{infostrat switch}}
Badges are the necessary "replay value" component of DoomRL. There are a total of 147 badges, split into six categories:

*'''Bronze''' badges are the easiest to achieve. Anyone should be able to get these after they start playing the game.
*'''Silver''' badges are the "medium" set of badges to achieve. They are a bit harder and more luck-based than the bronze, but the average player should get all of these over time.
*'''Gold''' badges are middle ground, but are certainly the beginning of a difficult road ahead, with many requiring Ultra-violence victories. The average player should strive to get all of these as a long term goal in their quest to become a veteran.
*'''Platinum''' badges are the hard ones, forcing you to challenge yourself on the Nightmare! difficulty. A normal player shouldn't get more then a handful of these in their field of expertise, and veterans will have significant trouble scrounging up the rest.
*'''Diamond''' badges are immensely difficult to get. Though not quite as impossible as they used to be, they require not only a veteran's worth of experience but a great deal of luck at the same time. If you obtain one of these, it is highly recommended that you post your mortem [http://forum.chaosforge.org on the Chaosforge forums] as proof, for it is quite a boast to say that you have gained a Diamond badge.
*'''Angelic''' badges are all absurdly difficult not only to achieve, but even to plan for in concept. Most angelic badges require incredible intimate knowledge of the game and the patience to methodically dissassemble every problem the game throws at you and solve them without error. It is no exaggeration to say that the Angelic badges were created for maybe two or three people to ever earn.

Badges improve your [[Ranks#skill ranks|skill rank]] and are necessary to gain access to all of the [[Game Settings|difficulties and challenges]] in DoomRL.

==Difficulty==
Game difficulty roughly emulates that of the original game. There are five to select from:
* '''I'm Too Young to Die (ITYTD)''': The easiest difficulty, in many ways. Ammo is doubled, enemy spawns are at their lowest, healing and powerup durations are doubled. A good way to start playing the game, although you won't have access to every [[Levels#Special levels|special level]] available nor play any challenges.
* '''Hey, Not Too Rough (HNTR)''': The "standard" difficulty for many players. Given that all multipliers are set to one, challenges are allowed, and all special levels are now available, this is an appropriate moniker.
* '''Hurt Me Plenty (HMP)''': The first "difficult" difficulty. More numerous and accurate enemies appear at earlier floors, giving you less time to prepare for the late stages of the game.
* '''Ultra-violence (UV)''': The difficulty of DoomRL veterans. This is the point where even the first few floors of the game can kill you reliably if you don't know the inns and outs of the game. It is unlocked at the Lance Corporal [[Ranks#Skill Ranks|skill rank]].
* '''Nightmare! (N!)''': The exclamation point does not lie, this difficulty is for hardcore players only. In addition to Ultra-violence changes, enemies can respawn at any time, are faster (relative to you), and attack more often. You can't save, either! At least several of the ITYTD benefits are back to help. It is unlocked at the Sergeant skill rank.

The differences in game difficulty may seem subtle, but switching to a harder difficulty is easily the most frustrating part of playing DoomRL, [[Badges#Diamond badges|diamond badges]] aside. Difficulty information has been tabulated: the columns are identified as follows:

* '''Shorthand''': How the difficulty is expressed on the score page (and in mortem tags on the forums)
* '''Score Multiplier''': How much your score is increased by, just by playing on that difficulty level
* '''Ammo Multiplier''': For randomly generated ammo, how much extra is added to each stack
* '''Enemy Accuracy''': How much the enemies' accuracy is changed on this difficulty
* '''Enemy Spawns''': How many enemies spawn on randomly generated levels, and how much their depth level is modified
* '''Healing/Powerups''': The duration/strength of powerups, and the health gain of small healing items
* '''XP Multipler''': How much increased experience is gained for killing enemies
* '''Special''': Any extra features regarding the difficulty level

==Difficulty==
Game difficulty roughly emulates that of the original game. There are five to select from:
* '''I'm Too Young to Die (ITYTD)''': The easiest difficulty, in many ways. Ammo is doubled, enemy spawns are at their lowest, healing and powerup durations are doubled. A good way to start playing the game, although you won't have access to every [[Levels#Special levels|special level]] available nor play any challenges.
* '''Hey, Not Too Rough (HNTR)''': The "standard" difficulty for many players. Given that all multipliers are set to one, challenges are allowed, and all special levels are now available, this is an appropriate moniker.
* '''Hurt Me Plenty (HMP)''': The first "difficult" difficulty. More numerous and accurate enemies appear at earlier floors, giving you less time to prepare for the late stages of the game.
* '''Ultra-violence (UV)''': The difficulty of DoomRL veterans. This is the point where even the first few floors of the game can kill you reliably if you don't know the inns and outs of the game. It is unlocked at the Lance Corporal [[Ranks#Skill Ranks|skill rank]].
* '''Nightmare! (N!)''': The exclamation point does not lie, this difficulty is for hardcore players only. In addition to Ultra-violence changes, enemies can respawn at any time, are faster (relative to you), and attack more often. You can't save, either! At least several of the ITYTD benefits are back to help. It is unlocked at the Sergeant skill rank.

The differences in game difficulty may seem subtle, but switching to a harder difficulty is easily the most frustrating part of playing DoomRL, [[Badges#Diamond badges|diamond badges]] aside. Difficulty information has been tabulated: the columns are identified as follows:

* '''Shorthand''': How the difficulty is expressed on the score page (and in mortem tags on the forums)
* '''Score Multiplier''': How much your score is increased by, just by playing on that difficulty level
* '''Ammo Multiplier''': For randomly generated ammo, how much extra is added to each stack
* '''Enemy Accuracy''': How much the enemies' accuracy is changed on this difficulty
* '''Enemy Spawns''': How many enemies spawn on randomly generated levels, and how much their depth level is modified
* '''Healing/Powerups''': The duration/strength of powerups, and the health gain of small healing items
* '''XP Multipler''': How much increased experience is gained for killing enemies
* '''Special''': Any extra features regarding the difficulty level

Enemies

2013-03-25T05:57:05Z

Thomas:

{{infostrat switch}}

==Overview==
Enemies (or monsters) are the obstacles to your sweet, sweet victory. They have stats in the same way that you do (see [[Mechanics]] for details), but contrast in that their movements are governed by the game's [[AI|artificial intelligence]]. The difficulty of these monsters depends on their stats and their intelligence.

==Statistics==
Every enemy comes with an array of stats, but these are the most important ones:
* '''[[Health|HP]]''': The lifeblood of anything that moves. When something has zero HP, it is dead.
* '''Armor''': The shield of anything that moves. Armor for enemies is directly proportional to [[protection]].
* '''[[Accuracy]]''': How likely an enemy will hit its target. This counts both for melee and ranged attacks on enemies.
* '''Melee Damage''': How much an adjacent attack will hurt. For enemies, this is governed by a 1d3+X, where X varies from enemy to enemy.
* '''Projectile Damage''': How much attacks at a distance will hurt. Enemies can hurt each other, although this does not result in monster infighting (as would occur in Doom).
* '''[[Time|Speed]]''': How quickly the enemy moves. 100% speed means that each action will take one second: anything lower results in slower actions and anything higher results in faster actions.
* '''Special abilities''': If the enemy has a particular trait, it will be mentioned here. Things like teleportation, resurrection, regeneration, and resistances count as special abilities.

All lists are sorted by room depth (although unique bosses get to stay at the bottom of their list).

==Enemies==
{{infostrat switch}}
===Basic Enemies===

* [[cacodemon]]
* [[former commando]]
* [[pain elemental]]
* [[baron of hell]]
* [[arachnotron]]
* [[revenant]]
* [[mancubus]]

* [[agony elemental]]
* [[lava elemental]]
* [[Angel of Death]]

Levels

2013-03-25T04:41:40Z

Thomas: /* Special levels */ - Adding in 0997 levels, also seriously allcaps and multiple exclamation marks looks stupid

__NOTOC__
Levels are the heart of DoomRL, and without them there would be no game. It is where the player explores, where enemies roam, where special items lie in wait. They are filled with either fortune or your own personal doom.

==Basic Objects==
All levels are made of basic objects like floors, walls, and doors.
*'''HP''': This is one of the parameters that governs how difficulty the object is to destroy. Whenever an object takes damage, it's HP is decreased. Once its HP falls to 0, it changes to a floor tile. Some objects cannot be destroyed; these are indicated as "none". Also, some objects have two versions: one that can be destroyed and one that can't.
*'''Armor''': This also makes objects harder to destroy. Whenever an object takes damage, the object's armor is subtracted from the damage before the damage is subtracted from HP. Unlike the armor of the player and his enemies, objects' armor may reduce damage to 0.
*'''Fragile''': Objects can usually only be damaged by [[Damage type#plasma|plasma]], [[Damage type#fire|fire]], or [[Damage type#acid|acid]] damage. Fragile objects can be damaged by any damage type.

==Random levels==
The archetypical level in DoomRL is a randomly-generated one. It is produced in such a way that no two games are particularly alike. There are many special considerations within the game engine, although many of these are technical and unimportant from a gameplay perspective.

* [[Level type]]
* [[Level feeling]]
* [[Level event]]
* [[Monster Generation]]
* [[Item Generation]]
* [[Room Generation]]
* [[Fluids]]

== Special levels ==
In stark contrast to random levels, special levels are constant and many of them appear every game. As you gain more experience playing DoomRL, these become stepping stones used as a grip against the turbulent flow of random levels.

For obvious reasons, all of these pages are considered spoilers if you wish to learn how to beat them yourself. Some are particularly spoiler-heavy, though, and are indicated as such here.

* [[Phobos Base Entry]]
* [[Hell's Arena]]
* [[The Chained Court]]
* [[Military Base]]
* [[Phobos Lab]]
* [[Phobos Anomaly]]
* [[Hell's Armory]]
* [[Deimos Lab]]
* [[The Wall]]
* [[Containment Area]]
* [[Abyssal Plains]]
* [[City of Skulls]]
* [[Halls of Carnage]]
* [[Spider's Lair]]
* [[Tower of Babel]]

* [[Hell Fortress]] (MAJOR SPOILERS!)

===Special level placement===
Some levels don't spawn on I'm Too Young To Die: Hell's Armory and Deimos Lab, Unholy Cathedral, The Vaults, The Mortuary and Limbo.

Special stairs are always placed on a random empty tile.

Special level pairs are chosen randomly - exactly one from each pair appears per game.

==Random levels==
The archetypical level in DoomRL is a randomly-generated one. It is produced in such a way that no two games are particularly alike. There are many special considerations within the game engine, although many of these are technical and unimportant from a gameplay perspective.

* [[Level type]]
* [[Level feeling]]
* [[Level event]]
* [[Monster Generation]]
* [[Item Generation]]
* [[Room Generation]]
* [[Fluids]]

== Special levels ==
In stark contrast to random levels, special levels are constant and many of them appear every game. As you gain more experience playing DoomRL, these become stepping stones used as a grip against the turbulent flow of random levels.

For obvious reasons, all of these pages are considered spoilers if you wish to learn how to beat them yourself. Some are particularly spoiler-heavy, though, and are indicated as such here.

* [[Phobos Base Entry]]
* [[Hell's Arena]]
* [[The Chained Court]]
* [[The Wall]]
* [[Phobos Anomaly]]
* [[Hell's Armory]]
* [[Halls of Carnage]]
* [[City of Skulls]]
* [[Spider's Lair]]
* [[Tower of Babel]]
* [[Unholy Cathedral]] (SPOILERS!!!)
* [[The Vaults]]
* [[The Mortuary]] (SPOILERS!!!)
* [[The Lava Pits]]
* [[Dis]] (MAJOR SPOILERS!!!)
* [[Hell Fortress]] (MAJOR SPOILERS!!!)

===Special level placement===
Some levels don't spawn on I'm Too Young To Die: Hell's Armory and Deimos Lab, Unholy Cathedral, The Vaults, The Mortuary and Limbo.

Special stairs are always placed on a random empty tile.

Special level pairs are chosen randomly - exactly one from each pair appears per game.

__NOTOC__
Levels are the heart of DoomRL, and without them there would be no game. It is where the player explores, where enemies roam, where special items lie in wait. They are filled with either fortune or your own personal doom.

==Basic Objects==
All levels are made of basic objects like floors, walls, and doors.
*'''HP''': This is one of the parameters that governs how difficulty the object is to destroy. Whenever an object takes damage, it's HP is decreased. Once its HP falls to 0, it changes to a floor tile. Some objects cannot be destroyed; these are indicated as "none". Also, some objects have two versions: one that can be destroyed and one that can't.
*'''Armor''': This also makes objects harder to destroy. Whenever an object takes damage, the object's armor is subtracted from the damage before the damage is subtracted from HP. Unlike the armor of the player and his enemies, objects' armor may reduce damage to 0.
*'''Fragile''': Objects can usually only be damaged by [[Damage type#plasma|plasma]], [[Damage type#fire|fire]], or [[Damage type#acid|acid]] damage. Fragile objects can be damaged by any damage type.

==Random levels==
The archetypical level in DoomRL is a randomly-generated one. It is produced in such a way that no two games are particularly alike. There are many special considerations within the game engine, although many of these are technical and unimportant from a gameplay perspective.

* [[Level type]]
* [[Level feeling]]
* [[Level event]]
* [[Monster Generation]]
* [[Item Generation]]
* [[Room Generation]]
* [[Fluids]]

== Special levels ==
In stark contrast to random levels, special levels are constant and many of them appear every game. As you gain more experience playing DoomRL, these become stepping stones used as a grip against the turbulent flow of random levels.

For obvious reasons, all of these pages are considered spoilers if you wish to learn how to beat them yourself. Some are particularly spoiler-heavy, though, and are indicated as such here.

* [[Phobos Base Entry]]
* [[Hell's Arena]]
* [[The Chained Court]]
* [[The Wall]]
* [[Phobos Anomaly]]
* [[Hell's Armory]]
* [[Halls of Carnage]]
* [[City of Skulls]]
* [[Spider's Lair]]
* [[Tower of Babel]]
* [[Unholy Cathedral]] (SPOILERS!!!)
* [[The Vaults]]
* [[The Mortuary]] (SPOILERS!!!)
* [[The Lava Pits]]
* [[Dis]] (MAJOR SPOILERS!!!)
* [[Hell Fortress]] (MAJOR SPOILERS!!!)

===Special level placement===
Some levels don't spawn on I'm Too Young To Die: Hell's Armory, Unholy Cathedral, The Vaults, and The Mortuary.

Special stairs are always placed on a random empty tile.

Level feeling

2013-03-24T00:48:40Z

Thomas: /* Levers */ - Enemies no longer congregate in the centre.

__NOTOC__
Level feelings are determined at random throughout the game and add features to a particular map. Depending on the level feeling, multiple feelings can exist on the same level.

If you can't find a displayed message here, check the [[level event]] page for other possibilities.

=== [[Room Generation#Lever Rooms|Levers]] ===

* '''You feel that smell? That gasoline smell? Oh hell...'''
** There is a lever that floods every tile with [[Fluids|lava]]. If you see this message then don't pull any of the levers in the level; it will not be worth the risk, even if you have an [[envirosuit pack]].
* '''In the State of Denmark there was the odor of decay...'''
** There is a lever that floods every tile with [[Fluids|acid]]. Just as with the level feeling above, don't pull levers if this shows up. Enough points invested into [[Traits#Intuition|Intuition]] will make this manageable, however.
* '''The air is really humid here...'''
** There is a lever that floods every tile with [[Fluids|water]]. Same as the last two, except not deadly at all and can actually be useful in preventing corpses.
* '''The smell of a massacre... '''
** This indicates the presence of a 'kills creatures' lever that affects all creatures on the map. This is particularly useful early on, as it is capable of destroying most early-game enemies completely.
* '''You hear the trumpets of Jericho echoing in the distance...'''
** There is a lever that will destroy all walls on the map when pulled. Does not include border walls. Generally a big problem for the player, considering that they make use of the cover more than enemies do.

=== [[Room Generation#Vaults|Vaults]] ===

Each of these feelings indicate that there is a [[Room Generation#Vault room|vault]] somewhere on the level. Multiple instances of these feelings indicate multiple vaults, as well.

* '''There's something special here...'''
* '''There's the smell of blood in the air!'''
* '''You feel excited!'''

===[[Level type|Level Type]]===

If this level feeling occurs, it means you get a level type very different in style. In addition, Levers and Vaults feelings cannot occur.

* '''Suddenly monsters come from everywhere!'''
** Indicates that you have spawned in an [[Level type#Arena|Arena]].
* '''Twisted passages carry the smell of death...'''
** Indicates that you have spawned in a [[Level type#Cave|Cave]].
* '''Where the hell is the way out of here!?!'''
** Indicates that you have spawned in a [[Level type#Maze|Maze]].
* The following messages indicate a [[Level type#Single Monster|single monster]] level type:
**'''You hear many marching feet.''' (equal distribution of all former-type enemies)
**'''The walls are scratched and flame-scorched!''' (all [[imp|imps]])
**'''A battle cry chants in the distance!''' (equal distribution of [[hell knight|hell knights]] and [[baron of hell|barons of hell]])
**'''You hear deep, guttural noises!''' (all [[mancubus|mancubi]])
**'''Bones clatter all around you!''' (all [[revenant|revenants]])
**'''You hear crackling flames!''' (all [[arch-vile|arch-viles]])
**'''Hellish magic haunts air!''' (half archviles, half non-commando formers)
**'''You hear loud wails that cannot mean anything good!''' (all [[bruiser brother|bruiser brothers]])
**'''The air is crackling with electricity!''' (all [[shambler|shamblers]])
**'''Suddenly you have a great urge to turn back! You scream in TERROR!''' (all [[Cyberdemon|Cyberdemons]])

===[[Levels#Special Levels|Special Levels]]===

If this level feeling occurs, it means there will be a separate set of stairs (colored red) that allows access to one of the special levels.

* '''You feel a breeze of morbid air...'''
* '''You sense a passage to a place beyond...'''
* '''You shiver from cold...'''

=== Other ===

* '''You feel there is something really valuable here!'''
** Somewhere on the level one of the [[specials|uniques]] was generated.
* '''Khe, he, he. This will be a mess...'''
** The level is generated chock-full of [[Barrel|barrels]]. Barrel type depends on depth rather than being random.
* '''As you enter, some weird alarm starts howling!'''
** All monsters are set to actively hunt the player.
