## Strategies 'n Synergies

[Strategies and technique breakdown]

Like most lantern classed flashlight, having it in use will grant Molli rotating projectiles to help cover distance offensively and defensively during the run. Although there are better versions to the Firefly lantern, all can play useful in sweeping up enemy clusters and reaching bosses.

Since the Firefly Lantern is one of the first early game flashlights Molli can use, the Lantern can prove to be a decent carry early to mid section part of the run. Its especially easier to take out Ghost King/Ghost Barren with the Firefly lantern [As its projectiles are far enough to reach him when he appears in the center of the map.] However, like most of the Lanterns, the Firefly lantern requires timing. Since only three projectiles orbit Molli at a slower pace, it is hard to say that Molli won't run the likelihood of taking damage from slimes and ghouls that are fortunate enough to reach between the spaces of the projectiles.

In-game description.

Tarot Cards play an important role in Metropolis: 3020. When used in a duel they execute unique abilities which can change the course of the battle. Tarot Cards can either appear randomly in a player's hand during a duel, or more commonly set as a player's Major Arcana. This allows it to be used in every duel. Purchasing a Tarot Card at the Card Shop will unlock it for the player, allowing it to be set as a Major Arcana.

Tarot Card powers are constrained by the following rules, which have the following values as of the v1.0 Ruleset:

Blast Slime

> *These menacing little squirts are injected with volatile blast sugar, making them highly explosive. Luckily, it takes a few moments for them to burst, so get out of the way before they blow!
> - Journal Entry*
>
>

Like other Slimes, Blast Slimes can spawn on any floor and pace back and forth on it. Their speed is the same as most other variations as well. However, they do twice as much damage as their regular counterparts.

Blast Slimes are also part of a group of enemies that explode after being hit. For N seconds after being defeated, the slime will flash in place before exploding. The explosion also does 4 points of physical damage and has a larger hitbox than the slime itself.
Wraith

> *A standard, run-of-the-mill ghost. They float through the many rooms of the mansion, looking for their next unlucky victim. Quite fond of sugary snacks. If these guys are giving you trouble, wait until they're in an easier-to-hit position before charging in. Well-timed jumps can make quick work of these pests.
> - Journal Entry*
>
>

Wraiths are just as common as the slime and nearly as easy to dispose of. Dealing a mere 2 damage, they're more of a nuisance than an actual threat.

Wraiths may spawn on- or off-screen. They float around aimlessly, ignoring floors.

## Strategies

Beam-users beware: wraiths often float a little above or below the beam hitbox. Instead of charging them directly, try catching them mid-jump.

## Strategies 'n Synergies

The Resistance Charm is one of the only charms with a penalty. Due to the physical damage multiplier, players should carefully consider which rooms and which enemies are the hardest for them to avoid and should not choose this charm if they are prone to taking Physical damage during a run. Remember, the colored outline around an enemy or hazard corresponds with which of the three basic kinds of damage it does.

The player can partially counter the negative effects of this charm through consumption of the Jab Breaker (-0.25x to Physical damage) or the Punching Bag Curse (-0.5x); note, however, the combined reduction of these treasures is only -0.75, which means the lowest a player can reduce the modifier to while wearing the Resistance Charm through Treasures alone 1.25x. Note also that the player has little control over whether these items appear in any given run.

In a regular run, the final 0.25 multiplier can be negated only if the player has the Swift Charm eqipped.

It is possible to get additional multiplier reductions with the Inventors Charm. However, this is an outcome that cannot be repeated with any sort of consistency since the odds of getting any given outcome from the Maltose Machine cannot be manipulated (unlike the Treasure Room, which can be partially manipulated when the player has the Sweet-Tooth or Blasphemy Charm equipped).
Assets

*Success in your business depends on the acquisition of Assets. These are buildings that directly contribute to your wealth, such as Banks, Farms, Nuclear Power Plants, and for the truly powerful, Space Stations. To acquire an Asset, you must visit the Auction House and place a bid on an upcoming property. If your bid goes unchallenged, the Asset becomes yours and the fee is paid. Once an Asset is yours, it will begin to produce a set amount of Resources every day. You may only place one bid per day, however.*

In-game description.

Assets are the centrepiece of any business empire and are the decisive factor in winning the game. Acquiring Assets allows for the diverse production of Resources. The primary method through which Assets are acquired is by bidding on them at the Auction House. It is also possible to randomly win an Asset during an Unforeseen Circumstance.

Assets have a Cost, a Production, a Rarity Rating, and a set number of in-game days during which the Asset will not appear in the Auction House. Note that the lower the Rarity Rating, the less likely the Asset is to spawn, making it rarer.

## Trivia

* In the same manner as Resources, Assets were intended to each have a unique picture icon. However, this was never implemented due to time constraints.

In-game narration.

Cards are the tools through which duels are conducted. The objective in a duel is to be the last one standing by reducing your opponent's Life Points to zero, or by being the only one left with Cards in hand. There are 5 kinds of Cards:

* Suit of Swords: Deal direct damage to an opponent.
* Suit of Hearts: Heal damage you have taken.
* Suit of Fire: Burn your opponent's Cards.
* Suit of Ice: Draw new Cards.
* Tarot Cards: Special Effects.
Olly's Flashlight

> - Journal Entry*
>

Olly's Flashlight is earned after the player reads through all of Olly's backstory. Olly can be found at random in the Treasure Vault.

Defeating the Phantom King with Olly's Flashlight rewards the player with the Four-Eyes Charm.

Defeating Phantom King Omega with Olly's Flashlight rewards the player with another secret charm.

## Strategies 'n Synergies

Olly's Flashlight is the "challenge flashlight" of the game: it has no charm slots, and is the basic beam flashlight type. The success of the run is heavily dependent on the candies and curses that the player collects in the Treasure Vault.

In general, players should aim for a defensive, health-based strategy. Health-boosting and damage-reducing treasures are safe choices; however, curses like the Mad Rush curse or the Punching Bag Curse can be risky. In those cases other options should be considered since the lack of a comfortable movement speed and/or heart drops can throw some players off.

Though candies may be safer choices, curses are necessary risks. Companions that clear the room for the player, like the Firefly Curse or the Reapers Curse, can save Molli from taking damage by allowing the player to focus on defense rather than offense. The Servant's Curse and Chocolate Mousse don't have quite as much offensive potential since their attacks are much slower, but they have other benefits that the player may prefer: Bunber will drop hearts, and Mousse does no damage to Molli. (The difference types of damage the other companions do should also be taken into account.

Damage Types

There are three primary damage types in Candies 'n Curses: physical, fire, and poison. The fourth damage type, projectile damage, is only applied to projeciles and is multiplied in addition to the primary damage type.
All damage starts with a multiplier of 1. Multipliers can ve viewed from the pause menu and cannot go below 0.25x.
The outline of an enemy determines its damage type: blue is physical, yellow is fire and green is poison. Physical type projectiles alternate blue/red.

Like other slime variations, Climber Slimes can spawn on any floor and pace back and forth. However, they move much faster than other slimes, and will occasionally flip onto the underside of the floor they spawned on (pacing the roof of the floor before.)

Climber Slimes also do twice as much damage as regular Slimes. The combination of this, their flipping ability, and their speed makes them difficult to handle, even using a beam-type light.

Regine LeBlanc

Regine LeBlanc

*Regine LeBlanc comes from a distinguished line of magical card merchants whose roots in the old ways of magic run deep. Better known as "La Madame" by those who have business dealings with her, Regine LeBlanc passes up no opportunity to test her cards out in duels.*

- In-game description.

Regine LeBlanc is a playable character in Metropolis: 3020.

## Development

Regine LeBlanc was originally intended to be the NPC who ran the game's Card Shop, but was turned into a playable character. This was because she was a fun and colourful character to write dialogue for. She is a homage to Cajun culture, using French phrases at times. Her purple Chinese dress with two dragons is a reference to the protagonist of the Steampunk book series Hearts of Magic, Rashena.

## Personality

Regine LeBlanc is a deeply spiritual and sensual character who strongly believes in Magic as a force of good in Metropolis: 3020. Her main investment in running a business is to have fun, meet new people, and generate business for her family's Card Shop. She has a habit of calling her opponents "ma petite" regardless of their gender.

## Story (Spoiler Alert)

Regine LeBlanc leaves the running of her family's Card Shop to entrusted family members while she tries to start a new business in the city. Her rival is Doctor Okulov, who she holds an unspoken attraction for. When she wins, she sets out to try and convince the Doctor to go on a date with her, results unknown.

## Trivia

* Regine has two cousins, Cousin Crystalle and Cousin Quartza. They are the family members who look after the Card Shop while she is the chosen character.
* Calling people "ma petite" is a reference to an early 00's vampire novel series where the main character's lover calls her "ma petite".
* Because the game engine does not consider the opponent's gender (only the speaker's) when producing dialogue, Regine LeBlanc will call male characters "Ma petite".

## Biography

Hector is one of the NPCs that Molli can encounter in the Treasure Vault. He is a proud member of the Hunter's Society, and his job is to seek out and purge supernatural dens of evil. He seems to be on a mission to purge the mansion of other-worldly evil...

He instructs Molli to slay a certain amount of a specific ghost (ranging from 15-100, depending on the frequency of the ghosts in question). He rewards Molli with souls and ectoplasm, and, rarely, a charm.

Note that, for quest dialogue, `[number]` `[ghost]` is replaced with the number and name of the ghosts Hector is requesting.

They can spawn on any floor and pace back and forth, sometimes pausing or turning at random points. Their speed is on the slow side, which means that despite the occasional random turn, their movement is easy to predict.

## Strategies

With their low hitbox, slimes are most easily taken out by beam-type lights. Lanterns, however, have gaps between their hitboxes that are more than wide enough for a slime to slip under. Use caution and avoid running blindly from side to side.
Chocolate Shell

> *Collecting these will give you the same feeling as collecting real seashells - except instead of just keeping them in a jar, you can actually eat them!
> - Journal Entry*
>
>

The Chocolate Shell is a candy-type item that randomly appears in the Treasure Vault.

 Strategies 'n Synergies

Chocolate Shell's usefulness depends on the player's ability to revive via the Halo Bar/Rally Charm and video ads. Since a revive lets the player regain hearts equal to MAX Heart Points, having the Chocolate Shell beforehand can give the player even more Heart Points. Collecting the Spirit Fudge after collecting Chocolate Shell can further increase the player's MAX Heart Points.

The Inventors Charm gives you a low percentage of getting Phantom Tokens from defeating enemies. Phantom Tokens are used to spin the Maltose Machine in treasure rooms. Spinning them might give you a positive or negative effect.

## Maltose Machine

The Maltose Machine is a mysterious device that appears in the Treasure Room while the Inventors Charm is equipped. In order to use the machine, Molli needs to have collected Phantom Tokens in a previous room.

## Strategies 'n Synergies

Molli's Flashlight gives a small boost to the rate of random heart drops. Using the Fortune Charm increases the already-increased rate of random heart drops. Other ways players can take advantage of this include using heart-based charms and candies like the Gusto Charm (which increases the value of collected hearts) and the Heart Lollipop (which increases Molli's total health).

Players might want to avoid charms and curses that are more soul heart-based since damage taken by soul hearts cannot be refilled by normal hearts.
Candy King

> *A kind, old man who once owned a famous candy shop. When his candy shop began to fall into obscurity, he was desperate to keep it afloat. After failing over and over again, unable to invent new treats that could restore his past fame, he fell into darkness. His frustration turned to anger and resentment, and he traded his humanity for other-worldly power. Can this sugar-coated curse ever be truly broken?

## Biography

Owner of the beloved Candy Emporium, a wondrous candy factory that brought joy to children everywhere. His factory made him wealthy beyond his wildest dreams. As the town grew and children became more infatuated with comics, toys and video games the Candy Emporium was slowly forgotten. Out of desperation, the Candy King locked himself in his manor and concocted countless candies in an attempt to craft the most addictive sugary treat the world had ever seen. Blinded by his cursed experiments, his wife and three daughters soon left the manor. The king had become a shadow of his former self.

While under the thralls of his curse, the Candy King becomes the Phantom King.

## Dialogue

"Can it be? Am I free of this dreaded sugar-coated curse?! …No…Not quite. Oh, child. It’s with overwhelming gratitude that I thank you for waking me from my eternal nightmare. You see, I was once known as the Candy King. Perhaps you’ve heard of me, and the candy shop I once owned. I loved coming up with new, delicious candies to share with the world. It brought me great happiness, and an unwavering sense of purpose. Not to mention great fortune as well. But then... things began to change. Children fell in love with more than just candy. Comic books. Fancy new toys. Even video games. My time as a prosperous candy maker was coming to an end - and in my desperation, I made a grave error in judgment. I made a deal with the devil, so to speak. And before long, I became the monster you just encountered. This curse has yet to be fully dispelled. Soon, I’ll return to the darkness, again to terrorize any who dare enter my manor. Quickly, before I lose myself again - I can open a door for you to escape this place."

"I only ask that you take this small token with you. It’s a special candy - the last of my creations before I lost my sanity."

"What was your name? Molli Pop? I’m sorry I couldn’t be a more courteous host, my dear Molli. Now please, go now before it’s too late."

* (Bosses defeated) x 100XP
* (Highest chain) x 10XP

Earning enough XP will cause Molli to level up.

At N level, Molli earns N more hp.

Flashlight Types

There are three distinct flashlight types in Candies 'n Curses: beam, lantern, and blade.

For an exhaustive list of every flashlight and their starting costs and unlock levels, see the Flashlights  page.

## Beam

Beam-type flashlights have a solitary active area in front of Molli. This is ideal for horizontal movement. Vertical movement, on the other hand, is more difficult since the player has to carefully time their jumps with openings.

### Beam-Type Flashlights

* Molli's Flashlight
* Olly's Flashlight
* Atomic Fenix MX
* Pulverizer MP40
* Gorger's Lamp
* King's Beacon ‍King's Beacon
* Worm Light ‍Worm Light

## Lantern

Lantern-type flashlights have three active areas in the form of orbs that float around Molli. In all lanterns, the orbs rotate in a clockwise direction at about one full rotation per two seconds. Since the orbs go below Molli's feet, vertical movement is much easier than it is with flashlights. However, horizontal movement can be tricky.
### Lantern-Type Flashlights

* Firefly Lantern
* Torchfly Lantern
* Virusfly Lantern
* Hot Head's Chamberstick ‍Hot Head's Chamberstick
* Phantom's Lantern ‍Phantom's Lantern

## Blade

Blade-type flashlights have only one active area which is activated every time the player swipes in any direction. This makes it a good candidate for both vertical and horizontal movement. However, swinging the sword slows Molli down, which makes the sword substantially less fast than the other two types.

### Blade-Type Flashlights

* Buster Blade 9000
* Scorch Blade 9000R
* Blight Blade 9000X
* Necro Scythe ‍Necro Scythe
* Jack'o Slash Blade ‍Jack'o Slash Blade
Flambeau

Theo

"I can't believe I'm finally free! I must prepare a fantastic feast for you to show my gratitude! Now, where did Bunber put my favorite frying pan?"

*-- Theo, after being freed from the curse*

"Our Jolly chef, Mister Theo, seems to be back on his own two feet! This quite the joyous occasion! Molli, do you know what this means?  I can finally stop preparing all the meals! Why are you giving me that look? Do you know know how difficult it is to cook with no fingers? If you’d like, I can glue oven mits to your hands and you can give it a go. One slice of sheperd’s pie, please!"

-- *Bunber the Butler*
Servant's Curse

### Effect

Team up with Bunber the Butler, he throws bombs around the room & occasionally drops hearts!

## Companion Info

> *Carrying this ghoulish bowler hat will call Bunber to your side. He's eager to help, though sometimes his mischievous side gets the better of him.
> - Journal Entry*
>
>

Servant's Curse is a curse-type item that randomly appears in the Treasure Vault. This curse summons Bunber the Butler to aid you. He throws a bomb every few seconds, which explodes in ? seconds. This bomb deals 4 Physical damage to Molli and deals 2x damage to bosses. He will throw a heart every 5th drop cycle.

While this curse is equipped, Bunber will always appear in the Treasure Vault. Other characters may also appear, which triggers unique dialogue.

* When meeting Olly in Treasure Vault, both will comment on each other.

* When meeting Paige or Hector in Treasure Vault, they may also comment on Bunber's appearance; however, this dialogue is not triggered when either have an active quest.
Blast Banneret

> *A powerful warrior who wields a hexed candy cane lance. He's quite fond of explosives, and carries a near-endless supply of blast sugar bombs with him, not hesitating to leave them around the mansion in hopes of catching an unsuspecting visitor off-guard. He's fast, tough, and mean - so be extra careful around this dastardly devil. Watch out for his final, bombastic attack if you manage to slay one of these demons!*

Necro Bones

> *These loyal soldiers rise from the ground at the beck and call of their master, the Necro Witch. Each of them faithfully serve her in the hopes of being promoted to her lead minion. Defeat them all to weaken the witch's defenses!
> - Journal Entry*

>

Necro Bones are summoned by the Necro Witch. They appear towards the end of the final phase of the Undead Library, rising from poison puddles created by necro wisps.

In the Witch's boss fight, the wisps are fired directly from the Witch rather than from offscreen, but the Bones otherwise spawn in the same way.

Necro Bones are exclusive to the regular Undead Library and Necro Witch fight. In the Necro Scholar fight, they are replaced with Bookworm Bones.
Cinder Slime

> *Slimes infused with fiery spices, these guys tend to dwell in places of intense heat. If they don't maintain a high enough body temperature, they'll transform into cold-stale gum drops. Not very pleasant.
> - Journal Entry*
>
>

On contact, Cinder Slimes do 2 points of fire damage. Otherwise, they behave identically to the regular Slime.
