Steps mechanic

Hiker’s unique mechanic is it’s ability to gain materials and Max HP by taking steps during a wave.

Some notes about it:

  • By default character takes 3.33… steps each second while moving through arena.
  • Steps scale with the Speed stat. Having 10 Speed means character walks (3.33… + 10%) = 3.66… steps each second.
  • Due to Hiker’s innate -5% Speed, he starts the game by walking 3.166… steps
  • Walking into a wall doesn’t give any steps. Only walking that actually covers distance counts for a step.
