The Cure

**Last appearance** | *Episode 6* (last mention)

**"The Cure"** is a mysterious invention by Les North which supposedly helped humanity with something, possibly a dangerous disease of some type. It may also be connected to how nobody in Shade is "over their thirties", as stated by Axle Rubix, although he stated that "we fix that." It is also said that though music exists in Shade but that it has no melody, as melody "messes with people's heads" and Shade "uses that part of the brain for processing the Cure."

The nature of the Cure, what it is, and what it does is not truly known, however certain clues may point towards a possible explanation.

The Cure seems to be a kind of computer simulation of some sort, which alters or controls people's the emotions, and their minds' emotional and sense-based inputs and responses. However it also seems that it is possible to break out of this condition, evidenced by what happened to Gage Mann after he drunk of the alcohol that was given to him by Topaz Foral Tyreiron and Axle Rubix. It seems that while under the effects of the Cure, you cannot hear what the superhuman beings that Les North and Axle Rubix belong to, but when you escape the effects, you are able to.

It seems that the Cure is also responsible for causing the people of Shade to not be able to dream anymore.

## History

The Cure was created by Les North, the founder of the city of Shade.

7-Star Hero Comparisons

*Numbers current as of 1.1.12.8*

IF YOU DO NOT SEE A HERO LISTED, IT IS BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE AN UNLOCKED 7-STAR FORM YET.

This page is designed for end-game army building. This doesn't mean it's not worth a look early on; since hero progression is so slow in this game, planning out your upgrade efforts is a smart plan. It's common to grow attached to the ones you've already put so much time into, but it's sometimes simply the better long-term strategy to ignore that 6\* +4 you have and start working on someone else, stagnating your current progress for a while.

Much of the information present on the 5-star hero comparison page will be removed since you're likely more familiar with the heroes if you're here. The tables will be a bit thicker with more complete stat information.

Tables will be separated into two halfs; the top half will be the heroes with a 7-star form but not a true demon or ghost form. These are generally weaker stat-wise.

Watch Repair

**Watch Repair** is a business at Waterworks Market whose name suggest they repair watches. They are open from 12 am to 6 pm. They have a large rectangular sign advertising their shop located at the top of several other shops’ advertising signs stacked vertically and attached to the left side of the Plaz building. The sign is black and the shop's name is written in large, white, bold letters. In the bottom left corner of the sign is written the last "21 prior" in smaller, white letters. In the bottom right corner is Weitem their opening hours in white letters and 24 hour format, "12-18".

Devil War

The Devil War is an 'event' that is open only on Wednesdays and Saturdays (server dates). I won't try to simply repost the large amount of information that the game already supplies here. Instead, clarifications will be better.

* The Magic Bell drop rate from story dungeons is, indeed, very low. If you're frustrated, just know you're not alone in wishing you had more. Elex is already receiving feedback about it.
* Magic bells aren't turning up anywhere else. Don't hope for them to appear in the Jade shop, as an Enounter reward, or a chest.
* The copper and souls rewarded for a win may be based on your level. It seems there will always be another of the rewards tacked on. They won't be large - usually 2.
* The main benefit of the Devil's War isn't for copper, souls, or any of the other battle rewards. It is providing a free way to for everyone to eventually obtain Demon Lu Bu (and some free Evolution Keepsakes along the way). Enjoy it.
Daily Login

The daily login reward actually begins as a total login reward - you do not need to log in on consecutive days in order to keep advancing nor will you miss a day's rewards by skipping. On the first 15 different days (server time) you log in, you will get the rewards pictured to the right (and listed below).

After that, the rewards become daily streak rewards that care about you missing a day. The rewards are in an 11-day cycle. These will be listed second.

First 15 days:

Jade Shop

The Jade Shop is the main avenue through which to obtain many of the named Keepsakes in the game. Additionally, many other goodies are available in the Jade Shop - albeit on a random and rotating basis.

The currency for the Jade Shop is Jade. The main source of Jade is regular Dungeons (the main reason you should be sure to spend extra energy on sweeping Boss fights) including the Chivalrous Encounter.

The way the Jade Shop works is as follows:

* Every 90 minutes, the choice of 6 items in the Jade shop will change. There is not a hard reset of these items at day end.
* At the beginning of each day, you are given 2 free resets where you can press a button to change the items. After that, resetting costs 30 Gold each time. These free resets do not roll over if unused - use 'em or lose 'em.
* When you manually reset, the timer from the last time the game started the timer itself will still be in effect - it won't reset to 90 minutes. Unfortunately, you cannot see the timer until you use the free manual resets.
* When does the game start the timer itself? Unless you're watching it count down to 0:00:00 and then reset, it will start counting down when you actually check the shop. It does not reset and then start counting down in the background - it waits to start counting down until you actually check it.

So, what exactly can you get? What might show depends on your Jade Shop level when it resets. Jade Shop level is raised by spending - the shop gains 'XP' every time you spend. This bar is always shown and is easy enough to follow. You know how much each purchase will add to that bar and how much left you have to go.

All that's left is to define what is possible at each level. How I'm going to do this is going to be easier for mobile phone browsing - this is a phone game, after all - so I won't make plenty of pictures. Instead, I'm going to list what you gain and lose access to at each level. I'll also state this now - Copper is always a possible choice. I find it overkill thinking of having to detail the specific increments of copper you can buy. You're not coming to the Jade Shop for copper. I'm also skipping Level 0 - the level you'll only see as the tutorial forces you out of it and that has only 4 items.

World Boss

Go to Daily Events, click on World Boss. Rules & Rewards, 'nuff said!

**Devil Zu Chu:** Counter attacks. Multi hitters and critical hit fiends, beware! Reverse your gear: high and critical attacks go to healers and equip damage dealing heroes with defensive/dodge gear. Use 2nd formation in case your heroes die, so you maximise dos.

**Ghost Diao Chan:** Poison. High defence makes poison damage negligible or use a healer.

**Ghost Zhen Ji:** Lowers attack.

**Devil Pang Tong:** Attacks everyone in party, targets hero with lowest defence stat.

**Devil Zhang Fei:** Attacks an entire row, starting from the middle, down. Then when that's clear: far left of your screen, down and finally to the right. If you can block or prevent him from going through your party row by row, you'll dish out more damage.

**Devil Guan Yu:** Regenerates, on hit atk. Hits pretty hard, but only one hit attack. Find a tank and block his path.

**Devil Lu Bu:** Counter attacks every single move, including archers. As per Xu Chu: multi/critical hitters beware! Use Xu Chu strategy.

**Inspire Runes** (found in Dungeons and Jade shop) can be used to boost your heroes' stats, and rank higher in total damage. Higher rankings equal more rewards, so make sure you only spend Inspire Runes, when the reward is a good one!

Hero Palace

The Hero Palace is the main place where you will obtain 5-star heroes. You will more often obtain 2- and 3-star heroes from the normal Dungeon and this will eventually become somewhat true of 4-star heroes as well when you begin to burn excess energy by sweeping Boss Dungeon stages. From this page, you can access (among other things) the Hero Gallery where you can get stats on the level 1 version of all heroes in the game.

**The first slot** recruits a single 3- to 5-star hero for 158 gold. This slot will provide you with a free recruit every 24 hours even if you are late in collecting it (rollover unlikely).

**The second slot** recruits 10 of these at a time (currently at no discounted rate from a single purchase). The first 3 times you use this slot, the cost is discounted 20% to 1264. This slot guarantees a 5-star hero; this hero will be the last one shown. The other 9 draws still have a chance to recruit a 5-star hero at the normal odds. This slot will provide you with a free 10 recruits 72 hours from your last collection of the free 10 (different from the first slot). This timer will **not** reset if you make a purchase during the countdown.

**The third slot** recruits a single 2- to 5-star hero for 300 Friend Points. There is no free recruit from this slot.

Toal Vestibule bar

The term "Toal Vestibule bar" has not been confirmed by official sources and is merely conjecture.

The **Toal Vestibule bar** is a drinking establishment located in Toal Vestibule 4 or 5, Toal City, Radia. It is run by an unnamed bartender. The bar is built around a vinyl record store aesthetic, even having a robotic jukebox system that plays a series of vinyl records, one at a time.

Hitpoints

The **Hitpoints** are a way of measuring, how strong a vehicle is, in the Payback 2 game. For example, if a vehicle has high amount of hitpoints. It means that the vehicle is strong, because it can take lots of hits. If a vehicle has low amount of hitpoints. It means it is a weak vehicle and cannot take much damage or hits by any weapons.

Vehicles have:

* Extremely high hit-points - (Very strong vehicles) vehicle with extremely high hit-points is: (Tank).
* Very high hit-points - (Strong vehicles) vehicles with very high hit-points are: (Bus, Truck).

Equipment & Treasures

## Equipment

Equipment occupies the top 4 slots and can be obtained both in full and in shard form. You cannot seize or lose shards of equipment in the Sword Palace - whatever you have in your inventory or finish crafting will stay with you until you use it or disenchant it.

As you can and will get quality 5 equipment early, I'm not going to list below that. I doubt anyone would actually make use of those.

\*Note: the quality 8 set does not have the same uniform name set like the others do; the weapon and helmet share their name with the quality 7 set. The icons are different and the stats do increase in line with the rest.

## Treasures

Treasures are equipped into the bottom left equipment slot and are the item you'll most likely be fighting over shards for in the Sword Palace. Starting at quality 7 they will come with a 4th base stat. Leveling your treasures (level soft-capped at your level or level 100) will give bonuses every 20 levels up to 100.
Disenchant

Disenchanting is a great function in the game - turn unwanted junk that you'll continually acrue througout play into useful materials. Copper, Souls, Recast Stones, Reforge Stones, Jade, Advance Pills - they're all used continuously. You'll always be getting new heroes and equipment to upgrade. Although the screen will tell you that you receive an 80% return on the item you're disenchanting, it will also give you currency for items you just got and want to get rid of.

Here is the breakdown of what you're be getting back:

* Equipment gives/returns Copper and Reforge Stones. It will NOT return any Recast Stones you spent on it.
* Treasure gives/returns Copper. Both equippable treasure and experience treasure can be disenchanted.
* Horses give/return Copper and, if at all upgraded, Feed.
* Heroes give/return Copper, Souls, Jade, and Advanced Pills, even if level 1 and not advanced. It doesn't look like you'll get back 80% of all those advanced pills that went into failed advances. That'd lessen the sting a bit, wouldn't it?

Currencies

There are many different sorts of currencies and materials needed in the game. I'll list them here, provide details and sources, and point to where you use them.

## Currencies

### Copper

Copper is the main currency in the game. It's needed for just about everything and also granted from just about everything. I'm not even going to hope that I'm going to get this section right in the first try. Here are all the sources you can get copper from (some sources are better than others). As far as where you use it? Just about everywhere. Horses, Equipment, and Treasures are some of the largest drains.

Sources:

* Dungeon and Encounters
* Solo Dungeon
* Money Tree
* Gold Mines
* Jade Shop (exchanged for with Jade)
* Treasure Hunt
* Arena (and Friend PvP)
* Sparrow Terrace (both stage clears and shop exchange)
* Hero Palace (possible Bonus reward for recruiting)
* Disenchantment (all of 'em)
* Devil War
* Daily Events and Rewards
* Legion Boss Kills and Battleground
* Quest completions
* Shop

### Gold

Gold is the premium currency in the game, what you get when you make a purchase. Thankfully, that is not the only source.

Sources:

* Purchase (that 'Buy Gold' button)
* Quests, often the first time completing certain milestones like power level and chapter completions
* many daily rewards
* early daily logins
* level gifts up to 130
* 'Quick Battle' even dungeon
* online gift
* invitation rewards

Requiem Mass

**Requiem Mass** is an Brawl match and whoever gets to 5 points first wins this match.

*"One on One, first to Five Points, he has Tanks but you don't, so you'll need to be tactical. Good luck!"* - the description of this level.

There will only be one opponent, whose name will be chosen randomly.

The fight takes place in The Big Freeze city.

There is a 15 Minutes of time limit for the fight.

The player do not spawns with any vehicle, but the enemy will always start with a Tank. This makes the fight substantially harder, as opponents usually respawn close by and The map does not have spawning points for other powerful vehicles that can counter the Tank easily, such as another Tank or RC Truck. Therefore, the player's options are limited in defeating the enemy 5 times.

## Tactics

* Because the player can't take on the Tank directly, they will have to find a way to negate the enemy's firepower.
	+ The easiest and most reliable counter is to outrun the tank. Given a sufficient amount of distance, any vehicle can outpace its slow acceleration. Eventually, the tank will get stuck and may capsize. The enemy will abandon the vehicle and become an extremely easy target as they are unlikely to board it if the vehicle's intact. The only deficient to this tactic is the amount of time it might take.
	+ Parking an RC Truck somewhere, where a Tank cannot reach nor fire upon effectively, means that only time will be an issue. Around ~10 explosions will destroy the tank, and a final one for the driver. There are a couple of locations in the city for this.
	+ The Tank cannot push it's way through another Tank, if the player places the barricade properly.
	+ The city has few Ice Pits, which can be abused to reduce enemy accuracy if their tank gets stuck in one.
	+ If the player is lucky enough to re-spawn near the Tank, you can use the temporary invincibility to steal it and then immediately obliterate the opponent. Normally, the Tank kills any player in a single shot. So this would be otherwise impossible.
	+ There is also an another way to win the fight. As this match takes place in The Big Freeze city, you can ambush the tank with your auto turrets at the narrow entrances. This, however, isn't the most reliable counter and can fail at times due to time constraints and enemy behavior.

**Info**

* All players start with Vapour GT and 10 Grenades.
* Traffic is disabled in this event.
* This event was at House Park Race Track.

Traffic

**Traffic** is a behavior where vehicles naturally generate on maps in Payback 2.

## Description

### Behavior & Reaction

Traffic will always stop at traffic lights and will only continue to drive ahead if its green light. However, traffic will still follow the road laws even if the traffic lights are destroyed.

Traffic will stop if their path is obstructed by other vehicle or a person and will honk their horns at them, some traffic vehicles can be seen driving faster than they are supposed to and can sometimes run over a person that touches them, while its moving. If something goes really fast at them, they will flash their lights.

Each map has a vehicle "population cap" to prevent lag issues, if the population cap reaches max, no more vehicles will spawn until some were de-spawned or destroyed. This does not include pre-spawned vehicles.

Traffic will also sometimes drive through roads that lead to parking lots, alleyways, or buildings. However, they do not recognize them as paths and do not deliberately follow along those roads.

## Glitches

### Unique Glitch-Spawned Vehicles

In rare cases, unique vehicles that do not intentionally spawn on roads can be spawned by a glitch, in which only one will spawn and the wreck de-spawns when its destroyed.

#### Glitch-spawned Vehicles

* Rocket Car
* Pug GTI
* Helicopter (Spawns with random color)
* Boat
* Tank (May accidently spawn in multiplayer after an active player pursuit, if it already spawned a one but the player reached zero wanted level and some other player had the tank in the view, so the game had to keep the tank)

#### Note

The vehicles which are glitch-spawned always get disappeared if the player goes too far from them for a few seconds.

### "Wheelie" Glitch

Sometimes, when too many vehicles spawn in one place, there's many explosions or there's a traffic jam, you may see vehicles jump for no reason.

Glitched traffic Mundaneo in House Park.Glitched traffic Van in House Park.Glitched traffic Cop Car in Freedom City.
## Trivia

* Traffic may have a starting point in parking lots in maps like Allegro City and Destra City.
* In Metropolis, traffic tends to purposely drive into the water when it spawns near the rivers, this is probably because of broken AI pathfinding.

## Gallery

A rare view of 4 blue traffic vehicles at once being obstructed by a car wreck.
Apex Metro

Metro logo on the Bus

**Apex Metro** is the transportation authority network in Payback 2.

## Description

Just like the Apex Oil, the company doesn't have any representive headquarters, and because of the fact their buses are seen on maps like Isla Nublar or Desert Outpost, which are presumably in different countries, it's probably true company isn't local.

## Influence

The name references the Payback's developer and publisher, Apex Designs.

Hero Upgrading

Keepsakes redirects here; scroll down to Evolving for those.

## **Upgrading**

Upgrading improves a hero's HP, ATK, and DEF (thereby increasing power).

* Heroes can only be upgraded to match your level, never higher.
* Upgrading cost both Copper and Souls.
* The costs increase with each level.
* Costs are also based on the star level of the hero.

## **Advancing**

Advancing a hero unlocks stat bonuses and upgrades to their skills. It also adds a small amount to their HP/ATK/DEF and Qualities.

* Only 4-star and up heroes can be Advanced.
* 4-star heroes can be upgraded to +4, 5-star to +5, and 6-/7-star to +6.
* Advancing costs Copper and Advanced Pills
* The costs increase with each level.
* Costs and success percentage rate are based on the star level of the hero.
* Every hero has the same +1 and +2 bonuses: HP +30% and ATK +10% respectively.
* +3 and +6 upgrades increase the effectiveness of the hero's passive ability.

Advancing is not guaranteed. There is a percentage chance of success that will be shown along with the costs. If the advancement fails, the next try will be increased, usually (but not always) by half that original percentage at that level. For example, if the original chance is 12%, failure will cause the next try to be at 18%. If that fails, it will increase to 24%, and so on.

## **Evolving**

Evolving (and Demonizing) a hero increases all their stats that weren't 0 to begin with. At any level, a 7-star hero will have higher stats than their 6-star equivalent; the same is true of 6 to 5.

* Only 5- and 6-star heroes can be Evolved.
* Evolving costs 500k Copper and 30 Keepsakes.
* The Keepsakes required for each hero are set and can be previewed by clicking the Evolution/Demonize button on their page. See below for further information on Keepsakes.
* Evolving from 5 to 6 stars requires the hero to be level 50 and fully Advanced to +5. Evolving from 6 to 7 stars requires the hero to be level 60 and fully Advanced to +6.
* Evolving to a 6-star unlocks the 6th advance skill, a second upgrade to the hero's passive skill.
* Evolving to a 6-star is guaranteed; Evolving to a 7-star starts at a 20% chance.
* Upon becoming a 7-star, men get the prefix 'Devil-' and women get the prefix 'Ghost-'.
* Not all 7-stars are treated equally. Some receive a character redesign. These same characters also receive a boost to their main ability upon Demonizing. Another correlation: none of the heroes in the list below are a 'special' 7-star.

Below is a list of the heroes that require the generic Keepsakes instead of one with their name on it. Generic Keepsakes are most often in the Jade Shop but are also granted at certain win milestones in the Devil War.
