SYSTEMS

• Phase: Dictates the power and events of the infection. There are a total of 5 Phases. Some events include spawning Bloodlinks, Nodes, Raids, Titan Eggs, or evolving Bloodlinks.

• Points: Control what phase the infection is in. Gained whenever the infection reaches its Mass Threshold.

• Mass: A temporary scoring system that increases from infecting blocks and mobs. Once the amount of mass reaches a certain threshold, it resets back to 0, a certain event dictated by the current Phase occurs, and one Point is added.

• Phase/Points/Mass Threshold: 1/0-9/1000, 2/10-29/3000, 3/30-59/6000, 4/60-99/8000, 5/100+/7000

• Crimson Siphoners & Blighters: Craftable items capable of removing the infections Points and Mass. Mass can be brought into the negatives, and while this is the case, all Bloodlinks will take 1hp of damage every 20 seconds until they die, or until the Mass becomes a non-negative value.

• Bloodlink Power: Each mob, besides Bloodlinks, Raidlinks, and Titans all can have a temporary boost applied to their attributes and/or abilities, unique to what mob it is recieving said boost.

• Raids: Can randomly occur when the Mass Threshold is reached from Phases 2-5. Raids will seek out a random player in the world, and spawn a Raidlink and Raidlink Pods nearby. If the Raid isn't stopped by killing the Raidlink, a new infected area can form. The number of enemies spawned per raid increases with each phase.

CRIMSONIFIED MOBS

Spawn randomly, or when a regular mob walks into an infected area.

• Crimsonified Human: Strong melee combatant

• Crimsonified Skeleton: Shoots poisonous projectiles

• Crimsonified Husk: Fast melee combatant

• Crimsonified Villager: Strong melee combatant

DECAYED MOBS

Stronger variants of Crimsonified Mobs, spawning randomly from Phases 3-5. Decayed Mobs are indicated by the particles around them

• Decayed Human: Stronger variant

• Decayed Skeleton: Shoots Withering projectiles

• Decayed Husk: Stronger variant

• Decayed Villager: Stronger variant

INFECTING MOBS

Mobs that infect blocks and mobs

• Bloodlink: The root enemy of the infection; after 5 days (or 100 minutes of play time if you sleep through the nights), spawns in a random location, and infects the area around it, turning it into a Crimson Infection biome, and later a Crimson Decay biome. They have 3 Stages that dictate their strength. When threatened, they will enter Attack Mode, spawn Bloodlink Pods and Bloodlink Sentries around themselves, and periodically give nearby Crimson Invaders Bloodlink Power. Bloodlinks can only enter Attack mode if there is at least 150 Mass, which they will consume. If the last Bloodlink in a world is killed, there will be a cooldown before the next one can spawn (however Raids can override this). This cooldown will be 4 days, then 3, then 2, then 1 day every time after.

BLOODLINK-PROTECTORS

• Bloodlink Mercenary: Weak Melee combatant that passively spawns in infected areas.

• Bloodlink Pod: Spawned when a Bloodlink entered Attack Mode. Emerges from the ground, and teleports a random Crimson Invader to its location, then retreats.

• Bloodlink Sentry: Spawned when a Bloodlink entered Attack Mode. Emerges from the ground, and shoots projectiles at enemies that give a series of debuffs.

RAIDERS

Spawned when a Raid happens

• Raidlink: Raidlinks do not immediately do anything, but if left alone for 3 minutes, they will transform into a Bloodlink. They must be killed to defeat a Raid.

• Raidlink Pod: Falls from the sky, and spawns a random Primal Biome Mob.

• Evolved Raidlink Pod: Falls from the sky, and spawns a random Evolved Biome Mob.

PRIMAL BIOME MOBS

Spawn in the Crimson Decay biome

• Crimson Worm: Slow, but heavy-hitting melee combatant.

• Rusher: Fast melee combatant capable of occasionally dashing, dealing increased attack damage.

• Raptor: Melee combatant that applies Poison and Weakness with each attack.

• Pyrobomber: Slow Melee Combatant that when it gets to half-health, breaks into a sprint and explodes on a nearby enemy.

• Sky Bomber: Flying enemy that drops powerful bombs on enemies. Sometimes swoops in for a melee attack.

EVOLVED BIOME MOBS

Spawn in the Crimson Decay biome nearby Stage 2 & 3 Bloodlinks

• Emperor: Evolution of Crimson Worm. When at high health, shoots Withering and piercing projectiles. With decreasing health, its Attack Damage and Movement Speed periodically increase.

• Mangler: Evolution of Rusher. Occasionally performs Dash-Attacks that rapidly damage nearby enemies, ignoring I-Frames.

• Harbinger: Evolution of Raptor. Summons Toxic Clouds that chase after enemies, and give them a series of debuffs.

• Napalmer: Evolution of Pyrobomber. Shoots out a barrage of projectiles that explode when landing near an enemy, and otherwise set the area ablaze. At half-health, they break into a sprint, and fire projectiles twice as quickly.

• Pummeler: Evolution of Sky Bomber. A Flying mob that rapidly fires explosive charges at distant enemies, but has low hitpoints in comparison to other Evolved Biome Mobs.

• Drill: A mob periodically summoned by Evolved Biome Mobs when an enemy is nearby. Drills will break blocks with a hardness less than 5 to reach their targeted enemy. Upon reaching them or a block it cannot break, will explode, either dealing damage, giving a series of debuffs, or teleporting a random Evolved Biome Mob to its location. Drills will ignore storage blocks and treat them as if they don't exist.

TITANS

Mobs spawned from Titan Eggs. Basically the Final Bosses of the Infection.

• Osiris: Initially can only be damaged from its brain extruding from its head. Once the brain is “popped,” it will gain Movement Speed and Attack Damage, and will periodically spawn Biome Mobs around it and give said mobs Bloodlink Power. Once at half-health, this ability will double in frequency, and the Osiris will once again gain Movement Speed and Attack Damage.

• Titan Drill: A mob periodically summoned by Titans when an enemy is nearby. Titan Drills will break blocks with a hardness less than 10 to reach their targeted enemy. Upon reaching them or a block it cannot break, will explode, either dealing damage, giving a series of debuffs, or teleporting a random Titan to its location. Titan Drills are significantly stronger than their Evolved Biome Mob variants. Titan Drills will ignore storage blocks and treat them as if they don't exist.

STRUCTURES

• Bloodlink Shield: Stage 2 and 3 Bloodlinks form fully-encompassing shields of Blackstone or Obsidian, respectively. When exiting Attack Mode, Bloodlinks will repair any damage done to their shields. When a Bloodlink is killed while in attack Mode, their shield will rapidly decompose.

• Node: the most common structure seen in an infected area. They passively provide the infection with Mass (1 Mass/Node every 3 seconds). Nodes also provide Biome Mobs that spawn nearby with a permanent boost, either being a Health buff, Movement Speed buff, Attack Damage buff, or the Infested potion effect. Break the Node Core (looks like a Redstone Block) to kill the Node.

• Titan Egg: Titan Eggs are a floating Obisian Egg in the sky, and a slowly-forming spiral of Blackstone. Once the spiral reaches the egg, the egg will hatch and spawn a Titan. Eggs can be killed by mining the Core (looks like a Redstone Block), which will destroy the surrounding Obsidian Casing. It is highly recommended to destroy Titan Eggs before they hatch.
