Perks

If you encounter a bug with a perk, please ensure you are running the latest version of the game. If this bug exists in the latest version, it is recommended that you join the dedicated Xianxia Discord Server.

## Introduction

In Corruption of Champions, abilities gained by the Champion are conferred by a variety of perks. Xianxia significantly expands the total number of perks and introduces the concept of 'Jobs', which can be considered specialisations or classes. These allow the player to focus on improving their abilities in a particular area, such as ranged weapons or healing magic. Perks can be gained in different ways, depending on their nature.

## Racial Perks

Racial perks are gained by increasing the Champion's specific racial score e.g. Dragon fire-breath is automatically attained when the Champion's Dragon racial score is high enough to give them a Dragon face. For a full list of racial perks, visit this page.

## Perk Paths

Somewhat incomplete list of Perk Paths

Most perks have prerequisites, often these will require the previous tier of the perk, such as Tank II requiring Tank I. While there is significant crossover, jobs tend to group perk paths together, allowing for a more reliable pathway towards more powerful perks.

Ultimately, the intent of this page is to sort the perks to a level where it is possible to create a dedicated page for each of the jobs/perk-chains so that we don't need such an *enormous* page.

## Super Perks

Super Perks

Super Perks are a small number of very powerful abilities. They are gained by converting 3 perk points into a single Super Perk, which can be done while at Camp by going **Perks and Opt.** -> **SuperPerk Up** -> **Convert**.

## Merging Perks

Certain perk-chains can be merged into a single new perk, refunding some of their cost. This is achieved by using the Pocket Watch key-item. Once acquired, it can be accessed via '**Camp Actions**' -> '**Misc**' -> '**Pocket Watch**'. As of Xianxia 0.8u2, the following perk-chains can be formed:

* Dao of the Elements (Layer 1) formed from:
	+ Elemental Contract Ranks 1-4
	+ Elements of the Orthodox Path
* Dao of the Elements (Layer 2) formed from:
	+ Elemental Contract Ranks 5-8
	+ Elements of Mareth: Basics
