Cinema RPG

1 Earning XP

There are three ways to gain XP. You never lose XP — not even when you lose a duel.

• Watchtime — +10 XP / minute. The main source. You count as “present” in the cinema as long as you’ve chatted within the last hour (there is no live viewer list, so chatting is how the bot knows you’re here). Lurk silently for an hour and the timer stops — drop a message to keep earning.
• Chatting — +5 XP / message, capped at 60 XP per rolling hour (~12 messages). Spamming past the cap does nothing.
• Duels — the big swings. Win for a large payout, +25 XP just for showing up and losing. See §3.

2 Levels & stat points

Your level is derived from total XP — the curve gets steeper every level (XP for level L = 250 × (L − 1)1.7), so early levels fly by and high levels are a grind. Check yours with !rank in chat or your profile here.

Every level grants 3 stat points to spend on the build editor. Unspent points are auto-split 50/50 into HP & ATK so a brand-new character is never weak — but spending them yourself is almost always better.

3 Dueling

Duels are free, and you can only be in one at a time. Both fighters must be seated in the cinema (i.e. recently active).

1. Type !duel <user> to challenge someone, or !duel open to throw down an open challenge anyone can take.
2. Your target has 60 seconds to !accept or !decline.
3. On accept, the entire fight is rolled instantly and then played out as an animation on the cinema overlay — your avatars leave their seats, walk into the arena, trade blows, and the winner struts back. Nothing you do during the animation changes the result.

Rewards

• Winner: XP scaled by the level gap — beating someone above you pays out big; farming someone far below you pays little (150 × the level ratio, clamped). Plus a 30-minute sparkle aura on your stream avatar.
• Loser: still +25 XP, and a 15-minute teal glowing ghost effect (wear it with pride).
• Level up from a duel win and the overlay plays a sound + gold burst. Only fight wins trigger the fanfare — watchtime level-ups are silent.

4 Raids co-op PvE catch-up

Every duel is 1-v-1, but raids are the whole room teaming up against a boss — and they’re the fastest way for low-level viewers to catch up.

1. A raid boss auto-spawns at the top of every hour (the broadcaster can also summon one any time with !raid). At least 2 people must be seated.
2. You get a 60-second form-up — type !join to jump in. Party caps at 8 fighters.
3. The whole party co-op-fights one boss; the battle is rolled instantly and animated on the cinema overlay, same as a duel.

Why you should always join

• Below the room’s average level → big catch-up XP — roughly 1.6 levels of progress per win (and even a wipe pays ~55% of that). This is the intended way to climb fast when you’re new.
• At or above average level → flat participation XP (+50 win / +25 loss) — still worth showing up.
• The boss scales to the party’s size and level, so raids are balanced whether it’s 2 people or 8. The party usually wins, but a wipe is possible — either way everyone banks XP.
• Win or lose, it goes on your raid record, and the overlay gives the party a victory (20-min) or defeat (10-min) aura.

Current bosses include Snaggletooth the Goblin, Rattlebones the Undying, Grommok the Brute, The Devouring Ooze, Emberwing the Wyrm and more — 11 in total, picked at random each spawn.

5 Dungeons 3-player keyed instance

Dungeons are a premium 3-player co-op run — three bosses back-to-back, with a party vote before each that can make or break the run. You need a 🗝️ Dungeon Key to open one.

Getting a key

• Dungeon Key reward — redeem it for 5,000 channel points.
• Raid drops — every survivor of a won raid has a 15% chance to loot a key.

Running it

1. Type !dungeon (you must be seated and hold a key). It opens a 60-second form-up needing exactly 3 players to !join — it launches the moment the 3rd joins. Too few and your key is refunded.
2. Before each of the 3 bosses a choice appears on the overlay. The party votes !a or !b (20s, majority rules). Your pick buffs or debuffs the upcoming fight — or gambles, skips the boss, upgrades the loot, or backfires. Choose well: there are 50 different events.
3. Each boss is a co-op fight at the party's average level. Death is elimination — survivors heal to full between bosses, but anyone who falls sits out the rest of the run, so the party shrinks.

Rewards

• Loot every boss — each boss killed drops one gear item (see §9), handed out round-robin, from a table that skews rarer & higher item-level than lootboxes.
• Flat XP — a fixed amount per boss cleared alive (plus a smaller amount for the boss you fall on). Not level-scaled.
• Wipe? You keep everything already dropped — only the remaining bosses' loot is lost. The key is spent either way.

A clean, well-voted run clears all three most of the time — it's the risky votes (and bad luck) that get parties killed, usually on the final boss.

6 How fights are decided

Each fighter has four stats (used in duels, raids and dungeons), derived from level + your build + any equipped gear (§9):

Fighters alternate swings until someone drops. The system is tuned so an equal-level fight is a true 50/50 coin flip. Level advantage tilts the odds but never guarantees a win: roughly +1 level ≈ 56% and +5 levels ≈ ~78% to win. A clever low-level build can absolutely punch up.

Combat is deliberately low-variance — no single crit deletes your health bar, so the better build usually wins out over the round. Gear (§9) stacks on top of all of this — and gear crit/dodge can even push you past the normal caps.

7 Classes 9 to choose from

Picking a class gives a small zero-sum stat lean — you trade a bit of one stat for another, so no class is strictly stronger; they fit different playstyles. Your class also sets the element of your attack VFX on stream (fire, ice, holy, shadow…).

⚔️ Warrior

+HP +ATK −Crit −Dodge

🗡️ Rogue

−HP −ATK +Crit +Dodge

🔥 Mage

−HP +ATK +Crit −Dodge

🌿 Druid

Balanced — no lean

💀 Warlock

🕊️ Priest

🔆 Paladin

⚡ Shaman

🏹 Hunter

8 Spending your points

In the build editor each point is worth:

• favorite +3.78 HP
• whatshot +0.42 ATK
• bolt +1.7% Crit (up to 32%)
• air +1.6% Dodge (up to 20%)

Crit and dodge are capped — the editor won’t let you waste points past the cap. Popular archetypes: an HP/ATK bruiser that out-trades everyone, or a crit/dodge rogue that out-rolls higher levels. Both are viable.

Respec rules — read before you panic-change a build:

• Always free: spending new points you just earned, and changing any cosmetic.
• Counts as a respec: lowering a stat you already raised, or switching class (your first class pick from blank is free).
• You may respec once per level — do it, and you can’t respec again until you reach the next level. Plan accordingly.

9 Loot & gear real stat power

Gear is the one thing that boosts your stats beyond your level and build. You have 2 gear slots; equip items on your character page and they instantly apply to every duel, raid and dungeon.

Where it drops

• Lootbox reward — 10,000 channel points for one guaranteed item. A wheel spins on the overlay to reveal it.
• Dungeon bosses — one item per boss (see §5), from a rarer table.

How items work

• 8 base types (ring, amulet, sword, plate, helm, cloak, boots, charm) — each leans toward different stats (HP, ATK, crit, dodge).
• Quality sets the power, and the rarer it is the harder it is to find: Uncommon Rare Epic Legendary.
• Item level is rolled near your level when you find it (and is fixed forever) — a higher item level means a stronger item.
• Gear crit/dodge stacks over the normal caps, so a great pair of items is a real edge — worth chasing, but a big level gap still wins.

Every drop also gets a random (cursed) adjective, so you might end up wielding a “No-Lifer Legendary Ring.” Manage your inventory and equip on your character page.

10 Cosmetics & drip

Not to be confused with gear: cosmetics are purely visual — zero stat effect — but they’re how you stand out on the leaderboard and the live cinema overlay. Everything is free to equip and swap anytime.

• 16 Hats — sit on top of your avatar (crowns, wizard hat, horns, halo, party hat, froggy hood…).
• 8 Rings — recolor your avatar’s ring & speech bubble, including an animated Rainbow.
• 17 Titles — a flavor tag shown after your name, e.g. «the Brave», «the Coward», «Giant Slayer», «the Unlucky»…
• 10 Weapons — don’t change damage, but reskin your duel attack animation. Each weapon + class element combine into a unique on-stream effect:

Banhammer

Frostblade

Thunder Axe

Fire Axe

War Hammer

Reaper Scythe

Boomstick

Wet Fish

Baguette

Nokia 3310
