Inspirations

Overview

Inspirations are single-use temporary boosts. There are several different inspiration types that provide various ability increases. Three inspirations of the same type can be combined into one inspiration of different type.

Inspiration Slots

A character starts with three inspiration slots in their Inspirations Window at level one, and gradually increases to a maximum of 20 inspiration slots at level 40. The progression is below:

Level 1: 3 slots (1 row of 3 columns)
Level 2: 4 slots (1 row of 4 columns)
Level 3: 8 slots (2 rows of 4 columns)
Level 10: 10 slots (2 rows of 5 columns)
Level 25: 15 slots (3 rows of 5 columns)
Level 40: 20 slots (4 rows of 5 columns)

By default, the F1 through F5 keys on the keyboard are mapped to trigger the bottom inspirations in columns one through five, respectively. It is common to keep similar inspiration types within the same column so that a needed inspiration of a specific type may be used quickly without adjusting the position of the mouse pointer.

For example, a player may always place healing inspirations (Respite, Dramatic Improvement, and Resurgence) into the first column. In an intense battle, the player can then simply press F1 on his or her keyboard to use a healing inspiration instead of moving the mouse pointer away from the battle to the inspiration tray. If a player has more than one healing inspiration in the first row, he or she can quickly press F1 again to use another inspiration if needed.

Inspiration Levels

There are currently four levels, or tiers, of inspirations; Small, Medium, Large, and Super. As a character rises in levels, they will find higher tiers of inspirations drop from defeated enemies. Defeating an archvillain/hero will always drop a large inspiration, while super inspirations can be obtained by selecting them from reward tables of Incarnate Trials or through the Incarnate Merit Vendor in Ouroboros.

Note that Super Inspirations cannot currently be combined into other types.
