A long-term per-run power system, designed to reward smart shop play without breaking class identity. Eight levels, each with a different bonus and visual effect — and they survive every weapon change.
When you reached an enchantment room, you could tap the enchant prompt to invest 100 gold for one enchantment level (this cost was later doubled in v3.4). Each level granted a different effect and added a new visual layer to your weapon.
The most important design decision was that enchantments stick when you swap weapons. Without persistence, players would refuse to enchant before late floors in case a better weapon dropped. With persistence, enchanting becomes a free investment that the run economy can plan around.
Each enchantment level adds a visible glow, particle effect or trail. The visual progression isn't just decoration — it's a signal to other players in co-op that a teammate's build is online, and a quick way for the player themselves to feel the run getting stronger.
At 100 gold per level, players who reached the table early could be at level 8 by floor 15 and stay there. That made later runs feel flat — enchantments stopped being a tradeoff. v3.4 raised the cost to 200 gold per level to restore the tension between enchanting and buying health or damage at the shop.
