Champion

The Champion is a character in the Shoppe Keep world. He must be unlocked from the Champion skill. Afterwards, he will always be located in the back room of the shoppe, and will stand between the Cauldron and quest board. The player can directly interact with the champion by pressing F which will then open a new menu containing more information.

## Creation

Upon unlocking the champion skill and interacting with them for the first time, you can set their name, gender, and class through a dialog box that appears. The champion's class can be warrior, druid, rogue or mage.

The class that you select impacts what kind of items they will be able to wear, and what sort of bonus they’ll receive when they embark on quests. The benefits that each class receive are:

* **Warriors**: +5% more DMG.
* **Druids**: +5% more HP.
* **Rogues**: +5% chance to evade a full attack.
* **Mages**: +5% more XP gain.

From that point forward, your champion will be locked into those settings - except for the name which can be changed for a fee of 200,000  coins.

## Champion Quests and Equipment

the champion's menu are the different adventures you can send him on:

* **Forest Pick**: Costs 120  coins and is relatively easy.
* **Mountain Range**: Costs 280  coins and is moderately difficult.
* **Drangonclaw Cave**: Costs 680  coins and is significantly more difficult.
* **Sky Island**: Costs 1,300  coins and is very difficult.
* **Mausoleum**: Costs 6,500  coins and is incredibly difficult.

If sent on an adventure, the champion will leave the shoppe until his quest is concluded. During an adventure, your champion will encounter many and various different foes that he must defeat. Upon successfully killing a foe, the champion will loot whatever item drops if possible. The loot from each adventure is very different, but become more valuable the more difficult the adventure is.

If your champion is successful on his adventure, he will return with whatever items he looted. These items will be in a chest placed in the middle of the back room. However, If your champion is defeated, he will return to the shoppe with nothing to give you. Additionally, you will not get refunded what you paid him for the journey.

If an adventure is too hard for your champion to complete, you can equip up to 5 Health Potions and Mana Potions each on your champion (mana potions can only be equipped to Mages and Druids). Be careful though, regardless if the potions are used or not, they will still be consumed at the end of the adventure. The champion will use a health potion if their health is lowered below 20%. If the champion's damage is lower than average they will use a mana potion to gain max damage on the next hit they deal.

Additionally, the player can equip different armor, shields and weapons onto their champion. Each piece of equipment can either increase the health of the champion, the damage, or both.

Finally, if the player completes the Ol' Dragonclaw Gifts quest, it will unlock the Dragon Bone Statue which will increase the champion's damage by 20%.

## Champion Log

On the champion menu, you can view the log of the previous adventure the champion was on. It will detail exactly what occurred during their journey:

* What foes were met, how much damage they dealt, and how much damage your champion dealt.
* The status of the champion.
* The loot that was picked up along the way.
* The final boss.
* Whether your champion was knocked out, or slain.

This information is useful to determine whether you should equip better armor on the champion, to use more potions, or to grind more experience on an easier adventure.

## Best Class Equipment Stats

The lists below will group each item into their respective classes, and will also show what stats they apply to the champion. Keep in mind, your champion will always start off with 105 health points + 5 per level *(HP)*, and a range of 3-4 points of damage + 2 per level *(DMG)*.

**Note:** These stats are subject to change as the game progresses. Since individual classes have specific equipment that they can use, we have detailed the highest tier for each slot in each class.

* Warrior
* Druid
* Rogue
