Preparation

Preparation Round, or Prep Round, is new in Black Reliquary and is a main mechanic of the mod. It effects the first round of combat.

Effects

During the first round of combat, most skills have halved ACC and all cannot CRIT. This changes the focus of the first round to be about preparation; Healing, Buffing, Debuffing, Status Effects, etc.

There are also skills that ignore this ACC penalty or have extra or differing effects, this is true for both Heroes and Enemies however enemies that ignore the ACC effect are not made immediately obvious to the player in-game.

Strategy

Many enemies can be disrupted before they can use their Prep Round skill, forcing them to use another move that will most likely miss. This only effects skills that have positional weaknesses which will be shown in the tables below.

Hero Prep Round Skills

Hero skills that "Ignore Prep Round's ACC Reduction" or have different/extra effects.

Enemy Prep Round Skills

Enemy skills that "Ignore Prep Round's ACC Reduction", have different/extra effects or are Prep Round exclusive.

Other Prep Round Effects

Quirks, Trinkets or Camping Skills that have effects that only effect Prep Round.
