Backstory

Abilities

Chromatic Fanatic - Basic Attacks

The Basic Attack changes based on the Nerd that's at the front of the cart.

• Fighter ( Orange ) — Leaps out of the cart and hits the nearest enemy with their shield.
• Ranger ( Red ) — Shoots a random enemy with their bow.
• Bard ( Green ) — Strums their lute, sending musical notes flying towards a random enemy.
• Cleric ( Yellow ) — Leaps out of the cart and smacks a random enemy with their mace.
• Rogue ( Pink ) — Disappears and damages the furthest enemy with their caltrops.
• Wizard ( Purple ) — Launches a magic missile at a random enemy.

Fighter ( Orange ) – Level 10 Ability

Increase the damage of all Champions behind the NERDS by 100% when enemies are attacking the Nerds while the Fighter ( Orange ) is active.

Ranger ( Red ) – Level 20 Ability

When the NERDS attack while the Ranger ( Red ) is active, damaged enemies take 100% more damage for the next 15 seconds. This ability does not stack, but the timer resets if it applies again before the 15 seconds are up.

Bard ( Green ) – Level 30 Ability

Increases the damage of Champions adjacent to the NERDS by 100% while the Bard ( Green ) is active. Can be buffed by upgrades and equipment.

Cleric ( Yellow ) – Level 50 Ability

Heals all Champions in all columns in front of the NERDS for 10 HP per second while the Cleric ( Yellow ) is active.

Rogue ( Pink ) – Level 60 Ability

When the NERDS attack while the Rogue ( Pink ) is active, their initial attack leaves behind a small Nerd-shaped trap filled with smoke powder which explodes after 5 seconds, dealing 10x the NERDS' normal damage. The NERDS also attack 0.5 seconds faster while the Rogue ( Pink ) is active.

Wizard ( Purple ) – Level 70 Ability

When the NERDS attack while the Wizard ( Purple ) is active, their initial attack spawns 3 magic missiles, which fly out and deal normal damage to 3 random enemies (could include the initial enemy but should fly out in a loop before doing so) if possible.

Shake The Box – Level 80 Ultimate Ability

The cart shakes as the three NERDS in the cart are removed and replaced with three random NERDS. They could include some or all of the same NERDS. If a specialization is chosen, the front-NERD is always fixed and does not leave the cart (just the middle and back NERD do). A base attack can not occur while the swap is happening.

Orange is on it! – Level 210 Ability

When the Fighter ( Orange ) is active, the max health of the NERDS is increased by 100%. This ability can be buffed by upgrades.

Specialization Choice – Level 270
