🛡️ Module Introduction

**Vanilla version of Gyll: Hero Remastered** aims to be a complete redesign or balance adjustment of all 15 original hero classes.

Remakes of DLC characters have also been released as standalone mods:

• **Shield Breaker**
• **The Flagellant**
• **Musketeer**

🎯 Design Goals

• **Increased Variety**: Increase the number of viable playstyles for each class.
• **Balance**: Ensure that no profession is constantly completely overpowered by other professions.
• **Compatible setting**: Mechanically fulfill the promise of the original art and character design.
• **Simplified for Clarity**: Simplified skill and tooltip text in general.
• **Significant Effect**: Ensure the retained effects are impactful both in terms of perception and impact on decision-making.

📜 Design principles

**Union Description**

Guild descriptions are considered the "blueprint" of a hero, and this mod respects and preserves these descriptions, which still apply to the modded version of the hero.

**Minimize loss of functionality**

Strategies that worked in the original game should not become completely useless or unusable, only the most powerful strategies will have their effectiveness slightly diminished. The exceptions to this rule are "trick" strategies against specific bosses (such as using Rallying Flare on the Pig Prince).

**Accessories use**

This mod does not modify trinkets, so heroes will still need to make efficient use of all their unmodified trinkets.

📖 Update Log and Compatibility

• **🔧 Compatibility Note**

This module modifies the hero's `.art` and `.info` files, as well as the basic camping skill files. If other mods also use these files, conflicts will occur. In addition, overhaul mods like "Pitch Black Dungeon" that rely on modifying each hero will create serious balance issues if used at the same time as this mod. If your mods don't fall into either of the above categories, congratulations, they are compatible!

🌐 Localization

A small amount of effort has been put into making the mod playable in non-English languages, but only the English version has been fully tested. In other languages, you may encounter some English text, as well as prompt text that may be very long or truncated. If you would like to translate this mod into another language, please contact me!
