Rogue is a hero focused on stealth and planning your attacks using the environment. He is unlocked by executing 20 surprise attacks in a single run. He starts with the Cloak of Shadows, which lets him turn invisible at will and run away or perform a powerful surprise attack. After beating the second boss, he can become the Assassin who can perform a deadly special attack after spending enough time invisible or the Freerunner.
Rogue automatically identifies the potion of invisibility and the scroll of magic mapping.
Characteristics[]
Rogue starts the game with a Cloak of Shadows as his unique item.
 |
||
| A priceless magical cloak, stolen from the royal armory many years ago by the Rogue. When worn, it can be used to turn completely invisible for a short time. The more the cloak is used, the stronger it will become, allowing the Rogue to become invisible more frequently and for longer durations.
|
||
Using it turns the Rogue invisible spending 1 charge every 4 turns. The cloak starts with 3 charges, but using it and leveling up raising the charge capacity (up to 10) and recharging speed.
Rogue starts equipped with a Dagger, which is slightly weaker than Warrior's Worn Shortsword, but deals extra damage to unaware enemies, working together nicely with the cloak. His missile weapon, Throwing Knives, is stronger against unaware enemies too. In addition to his starting items the Rogue also has a passive perk which increases his search radius letting him search 5x5 tiles instead of usual 3x3.

Subclasses[]
Assassin[]
Assassin builds up preparation while invisible or cloaked, which allows him to execute a special attack.
 |
||
| The Assassin is waiting patiently, preparing to strike from the shadows.His next attack will deal x% bonus damage, and will execute regular enemies below y% health, or bosses below y/5% health.He is able to blink towards an enemy before striking them, with a max distance of d. The Assassin has been invisible for a turns.His attack will become stronger at b turns. |
||
This special attack gains bonus damage, increasing based on how long the Assassin was invisible for. With enough preparation, multiple damage rolls are made, with the highest one being used. In addition, given enough time to prepare, assassin can target a distant enemy and blink to it before attacking. This always theleports him right next to the enemy even if his weapon has extra reach. Preparation reaches maximum power after 9 turns requiring 3 cloak charges to be spent.
| Turns spent | Damage Bonus | KO Threshold | Rolls | Blink Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10% | 3% | 1 | 1 |
| 3 | 20% | 10% | 1 | 2 |
| 5 | 35% | 20% | 2 | 3 |
| 9 | 50% | 50% | 3 | 4 |
Blink distance and KO threshold can be improved with talents (ssee below)
If the attack reduced enemy HP below the KO threshold, the enemy instantly dies. Bosses and minibosses can be executed too, but the KO threshold is 80% lower.

||
Freerunner[]
The Freerunner no longer gets instantaneous speed and evasion boosts while moving, instead gaining Momentum while moving (+1 per turn), and losing it rapidly (-1 per turn) when not moving.
With Momentum, Freerunner can start Freerunning. When freerunning the Freerunner moves at 2x speed, and gains bonus evasion in proportion to his level.
After freerunning ends, Freerunner gains Recover effect, which prevents him from getting Momentum. This effect's duration will always be the same regardless of how long Freerunner was in Freerunning.
 |
||
| As he moves, the freerunner builds momentum, increasing his speed and ability to dodge.The speed bonus is based purely on momentum, however the bonus to dodge is also affected by armor.The freerunner will gain additional dodge from momentum for each excess point of strength he has over the requirements of his armor. | ||
Freerunning duration depends on how much momentum Freerunner has at the moment. After freerunning, there will be always the same cooldown, so makes sure you always have 10 momentums before freerunning.
Due to the way the evasion bonus is implemented, not equipping any armor will result in no evasion bonus at all. It is therefore not a viable strategy. The best evasion bonus that can be obtained is using a highly upgraded cloth armor.
