Perks are first unlocked when the player uses the Portal for the first time, unlocked by completing The Dimension of Anger. By using the Portal, the player can assign their Helium to perks through the Portal screen. If the player has any left over spendable Helium from a previous run, they can use the now visible "View Perks" button on the bottom bar to assign it.

Perks

In order to assign Helium from a current run to perks the player must use the Portal. Helium from a current run can't be used to level up perks. (The exception is that helium obtained from purchasing a Bone Portal is considered to be from a previous run and may be used immediately.)

Perks[]

Perks which are unlocked as soon as the player first unlocks the Portal are available in the table below.

Perk relations[]

Some perks affect the same factor (e.g. Power and Relentlessness affect damage, Toughness and Resilience affect health). Below tables will show those relations and how many levels in those perks the player should have were they aiming for maximum efficiency between gain and Helium cost of those perks.

The calculations used to determine those relations are done by dividing helium spent in the level to the multiplicative % gain in that level.

The Cost/% formula for perks with multiplicative gains (such as Carpentry or Resilience) are:

Cost / %

For perks with additive gains however, the additive % has to be converted to multiplicative first.

Cost / ((1 + (Level * %)) / (1 + ((Level-1) * %)) - 1)

Respec[]

After first unlocking the Portal, the button View Perks on the bottom bar unlocks. Through that button, the player can see their perks as well as respec them. It is possible to respec only once per run, with no penalties whatsoever. To get another respec after using one, the player has to use the Portal to soft reset their game, or purchase "Portal" from the Bone Trader.

If you have the perk Carpentry and attempt to respec without putting as many or more points back into it, the game will not allow you to respec if your new amount of maximum Trimps falls into one of these criteria:

  • is less than
[Fighting group size] * 2.4
  • is less than
[Number of Trimps employed] * 2

If you want to respec into a lesser amount of Carpentry, consider firing some workers first. Farmers/Lumberjacks/Miners are the best candidates to lose their jobs, because they are the cheapest to move around due to their low, unchanging hiring cost.
