Spellward Cloth

**Spellward Cloth** is a Tier 1 Item in Syndicate of Souls.

## Strategy

### Relatives

Marie Pinkerton(grandmother)
Sarah Pinkerton (mother, deceased)
Johnny Pinkerton (twin brother)
unknown father

## Early Life

Sandy Pinkerton was born in Sheldon, North Carolina on January 21st, 1944 along with her twin brother Johnny Pinkerton. Orphaned at the age of one (her mother was run over by an L&N train whilst the identity of her father is unknown), she was raised by her grandparents. Her grandmother was a stay at home housewife whilst her grandfather was an engineer on the Knoxville & Asheville Railroad.

On her 16th birthday, her grandfather bought her a 1960 Cadillac Deville painted in Blood Red. When she received it, she instantly fell in love with the car. Then overnight, Sandy changed. Once she was a happy go-lucky teenage girl wearing pink petticoats, instantly transformed into a greased up rebel rouser wearing black leather coats, and becoming a member of the Sheldon Racing Club where she tuned up Christopher to reach higher speeds.

She's known to drive at extremely dangerous speeds over the speed limit and become a local menace for not only the residents of Sheldon, North Carolina, but for Sheriff Beaudry and his colleges of the Raccoon County Sheriff's Department, as well as the North Carolina Highway Patrol and the Knoxville & Asheville Railroad Police. Ever since 1960, Sandy has outrun the cops several times and never got caught.

## Racing Career

Sandy became a member of the Sheldon Union High School Racing Club in the spring of 1960 during her Sophomore Year and participated in her first race on May 7th, 1960 against the Possum Hollow Racing Guild.

As a member of the Club, Sandy has won the Sheldon Union High School annual racing circuit for 3 years in a row from 1960 and 1962, receiving 3 gold trophies in the making.

## Police Record

This is a list of crimes Sandy has committed:

* Illegal Street Racing
* Driving with a suspended license
* Speeding
* Disturbing the Peace
* Trespassing on private property
* Not paying her speeding tickets
* Illegal Drag Racing
* Reckless Driving
* Evading Arrest
* Damage to Property
* Being a public nuisance
* Joyriding

Despite commiting these offenses, Sandy Pinkerton was never caught. One record indicates that on April 14th 1962, Sandy and a few of her cronies ever tried to drag race against the Railyard Rats in the local railroad yard only for the Railroad Police, the Sheldon Constabulary, and the R.C.S.D. to arrive. Sandy managed to escape but the other Railyard Rats didn't stand a chance.

## Trivia

* *Sandy's car is a 1960 Cadillac Deville 2-door Coupe. According to Vincent B. Berkan, the car was originally planned to be a 1958 Plymouth Fury, as a nod to Stephen King's Novel and 1983 film "Christine", but later changed it to the Cadillac Deville because Deville had the word "Devil" in it.*

## Effect

Infernal Wish

**Infernal Wish** is a Tier 3 Item in Syndicate of Souls.

When taking lethal damage, become invulnerable for 5 seconds or until you have been hit by 5 attacks.

## Effects

+ 700  Health

+ 10  Health Regeneration

When taking lethal damage, become invulnerable for 5 seconds or until you have been hit by 5 attacks.

## Strategy

Infernal Wish is a powerful Health item that grants a unique second-chance mechanic. For carries, it is helpful for surviving a high-burst team due to its mitigation reducing any amount of 1 damage instance to a single stack of Infernal's safety net. This, however, is also its greatest weakness, as chip damage or damage over time- such as Dandra's bleeds- can also take off stacks of Infernal Wish.

## Patch History

12/10/2022

* Infernal Armor reworked to Infernal Wish, with a new icon and adjusted stats.
* Cost adjusted to (490g combine cost) from Xg (Yg combine cost), sell price increased to 1,875g from Xg.

+ 50 Ethereal Power

+ 10% Tenacity

+ 25% Attack Speed

**Infernal Awakening**: When receiving any damage prevent that damage and lose 1/10 remaining life instead for the cost of a stack. The original damage gets dealt to all enemies in a 200 unit radius as magical damage (minimum of 10 (+ 10 per level)).

While active all healing will be prevented but stored. Upon Infernal Awakening running out, heal for the stored amount.
Seed of the World Tree

The **Seed of the World Tree** is a Tier 1 Item in Syndicate of Souls.

## Effect

+ 50   Resource

After 50 spells casted, turns into Sprout of the World Tree.

## Strategy

Seed of the World Tree is a stacking item, transforming after 50 spell casts into Sprout of the World Tree.

At a price of 450 gold, purchasing it at the start of the game prevents the Retainer from purchasing active Items, such as Health Potions, but it allows the item to be stacked faster. Even so, if there is no plan to rush Branch of the World Tree, then delaying the purchase of Seed in favor of other starting items- such as Boots- is worth considering.

## Effect

Restore 50 + (18%   Resource )  Health to all allies in the target area (400 units) each second for 8 seconds.

## Strategy

Aged Dagger

The **Aged Dagger** is a Tier 1 item in Syndicate of Souls.

## Strategy

Aged Dagger increases attack speed, which is helpful for Vessels that have on-hit effects such as Namuneth or Rak'Zuul. At 375 gold, an Aged Dagger can be purchased in tandem with two Healing Potions, which makes it a safe option for starting the game.

Additionally, Aged Daggers build into several intermediate items that provide further stat increases or other passive effects that can enhance Retainers who invest into them.

Airborne

**Airborne** is a mechanic in Syndicate of Souls that describes a character who is in the air. Being airborne interacts with certain mechanics, such as dodging some spells or receiving more damage from others.

There are involuntary airborne mechanics as well as Jumping- which is a voluntary airborne mechanic.

## Airborne

Any unit that is airborne cannot take actions. While airborne, they move in a specified direction, landing back on the ground at the end of the distance. Creatures in the air- whether voluntary or otherwise- are tagged as "airborne", allowing them to cross terrain that is shorter than the distance of the airborne effect, as well as dodge abilities that target ground units while in the air.

Some airborne effects do not move the target at all, instead keeping them in one place for the duration of the airborne effect.

### Knock-Up

Knock-up refers to a condition where a creature is airborne for a set period of time without moving.

### Knockback

Knockback refers to a condition where a creature is airborne and traveling in a direction for a set period of time.

## Jump

When jumping, a Retainer is considered airborne, meaning they cannot take actions, but dodge abilities that are on the ground. Furthermore, being airborne enables a Retainer to cross unpassable terrain, such as walls or lakes. Unlike involuntary airborne effects, a Retainer can choose how far they jump and decide which direction to jump.

The default key to Jump is Space Bar, causing the Retainer to jump towards the cursor's location (or to the maximum Jump length if the cursor is beyond a jump's range).

### Airtime

Airtime describes the maximum distance a Retainer can remain in air for, which in turn decides the distance they can jump.
Book of Conjuring

**Book of Conjuring** is a Tier 2 Item in Syndicate of Souls.

## Effect

+ 35  Ethereal Power

### Trivia

* the upside-down triangle on Molnur is the alchemical symbol for water

 **Neophyte Tome** - 450

 **Trainee's Knife** - 450

 **Recruit's Shield** 450

 **Ancient Cup** - 340

### Stacking Items

Some items give less stats than most other choices, but have a stacking mechanic that- once complete- will give a unique item needed to purchase a more powerful item later. The exception is Thuulian Chains, which instead generates income on-hit- thus eventually turning profit after gaining enough gold.

+ 40  Armor

+ 20%  Block

Upon receiving damage by an enemy retainer autoattack, reflect 10% to 30% of the damage back as physical damage depending on the distance to the damaging retainer.

## Strategy

Spikethorn Shoulderpads are especially potent against enemies with plenty of auto attack damage, as they not only reflect incoming damage, but also mitigate a percent of the damage dealt. Retainers such as Lodwig who have access to a Taunt can make the greatest use of Spikethorn Shoulderpads, forcing enemies to take damage from their own attacks.

The Brightside Ingot is an Item in Syndicate of Souls. Instead of being purchased in the shop, it must be acquired from the Dragon as a drop.

## Brightside Ingot

### Effects

The Brightside Ingot is used to create the Brightside Dagger.

### Strategy

The Brightside Ingot is a necessary ingredient for the Brightside Dagger. Because of the power of this item, it is a good idea to pick this item up and either drop it in base for an ally to upgrade into a Brightside Dagger. If no ally can effectively use the dagger, the ingot can be sold for 200g. Again, because the ingot can be dropped, it can be sold by anyone- allowing a small amount of gold to be funneled to a chosen ally.
