Void Fiend Passive and Buffs

A configurable set of additions for Void Fiend, built around Collapse and his two forms. Previously named Void Fiend: Unstable Touch.

Testing is ongoing. This is an experimental balance mod. Buff values and interactions may change based on gameplay feedback; the current settings are not final.

What changes?

The in-game passive, Flood, and Trespass tooltips describe their additions using your current settings. Unchanged skills retain their original descriptions.

How the effects interact

• Uses the game's standard Collapse damage, delay, stacking, visuals, and debuff handling. Needletick keeps its separate roll.
• The Trespass follow-up makes one roll instead of rolling Unstable Touch on that hit. It is consumed whether it succeeds or fails; a failed roll does not retry or fall back to the passive. Subsequent hits use the normal passive again.
• The follow-up's default chance is 50% before normal attacker luck. It is not multiplied by the hit's proc coefficient, although that coefficient must be positive. You can lower it further with FollowupChancePercent.
• A qualifying hit must deal positive damage to a living enemy and have a positive proc coefficient. Damage-over-time ticks, rejected hits, and Collapse chains cannot trigger or consume the bonus. Misses do not consume it. An area attack consumes it on one eligible target, and item hits credited to Void Fiend can consume it.
• The 5-second window begins when Trespass finishes. Using it again refreshes one pending hit; charges do not accumulate. Interrupted dashes do not grant it.
• The pulse occurs once per entry into corrupted mode, including entering permanent corruption. It applies one stack per enemy body, regardless of hurtbox count. Distance is measured between body centres; walls do not block it. It excludes allies, neutral bodies, and dead targets, and does not consume a pending Trespass hit.
• Flood's minimum tap-release delay and corrupted Flood are unchanged.

Installation and upgrading

Disable or remove the old VoidFiendUnstableTouch entry before importing the renamed package. Keep only one active installation.

In r2modman, choose Settings > Profile > Import local mod and select VoidFiendPassiveAndBuffs-0.2.1.zip, then launch through the mod manager. Update your existing VoidFiendPassiveAndBuffs entry and keep one active copy.

The plugin keeps its original internal identity and DLL filename to preserve compatibility and existing settings. Configuration remains at:

BepInEx/config/local.voidfiend.unstabletouch.cfg

New options are added on first launch. Existing passive chance settings are preserved.

Configuration

Each addition can be tuned or disabled separately for balance testing. Restart after editing the config outside the game.

Collapse applications, Trespass windows, and pulses run on the server. Flood charging runs on the player's owning client, and tooltips use local settings. Install the same version and match settings on all players for multiplayer.

Testing

Testing is ongoing, including in-game balance, visuals, other-mod compatibility, and multiplayer. The build and automated checks cover eligibility, chance selection, success/failure consumption, one-use windows, expiry, repeated dashes, independent players, pulse targeting, and tooltip values. These checks do not establish that the mod is balanced. Enable LogProcs for a short diagnostic run if needed.
