Glossary¶
Definitions of terms used throughout the Norse Demigods wiki and in the mod's ability and attribute descriptions.
Heavy armor¶
An armor piece (helmet, chest or legs) with a movement penalty of 5% or more.
- Some attributes only work when you wear no heavy armor.
- Others need several heavy pieces; each attribute says how many.
Per level¶
"Per level" always means per demigod skill level (0 to 100).
- Example: "1.4 damage per level" adds 70 damage at level 50 and 140 at level 100, on top of the base damage.
- Level tables show values at Lv 0, Lv 50 and Lv 100.
Specialized weapons¶
The weapon types an attribute's extra effects apply to.
- Example: Static Body spreads Lightning damage to nearby enemies only when you hit with axes or clubs.
Tool tier¶
Determines which trees, rocks and ores an ability or attribute can damage. The mod uses the same tier scale as vanilla axes and pickaxes.
- An ability with tool tier 2 damages everything a tier 2 tool can, and all lower tiers.
- Axes and pickaxes of the same material have different tiers (a Bronze axe is tier 2, a Bronze pickaxe tier 1).
- Infused Earthbreaker raises the tool tier of some abilities and attributes.
| Tier | Same as | New trees | New rocks and ores |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Stone axe, Antler pickaxe | Beech, pine, fir, Ashlands trees | Most rocks, copper, tin |
| 1 | Flint axe, Bronze pickaxe | — | Muddy scrap piles |
| 2 | Bronze axe, Iron pickaxe | Birch, oak, ancient (swamp) trees | Silver, obsidian, glacier ice |
| 3 | Iron axe, Black metal pickaxe | — | Giant remains (black marble), meteorites, lava Leviathans (Ashlands) |
| 4 | Black metal axe, Jotun Bane | Yggdrasil shoots | — |
| 5 | — | — | Gold veins, Ashlands fortress walls and gates |
| 6 | Berserkir axes | — | Frozen troll remains |
These are vanilla Valheim values, not mod settings.
True damage¶
Damage without a type, such as the core damage of Hel's Acid Bolt.
- Armor, resistances and weaknesses do not change it.
- Other sources: Decay Aura and the eitr burst of Bloody Archer.
These are vanilla Valheim rules, not mod settings.
