About this mod Author’s original text
Start With Aspect
Pick an elite aspect to start your run with, right from the Loadout tab on the character select screen.
Features
- An ASPECT row added to the Loadout tab: click an icon to choose your starting aspect (or "none").
- All aspects are detected automatically, DLC included (Blazing, Overloading, Glacial, Malachite, Celestine, Perfected, Void, etc.).
- When the run starts, you spawn with the aspect equipped (you become that elite: aura + effect).
- Multiplayer: every player picks and starts with their own aspect.
- ZetAspects compatible: if ZetAspects is installed, the aspect is granted as its yellow item instead of equipment.
- Hide aspects you don't want: a checkbox per aspect in Settings → Mod Options (Risk of Options) lets you remove any aspect from the selector.
How to use
On the character select screen, open the Loadout tab, click an icon in the ASPECT row at the bottom, then start the run.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Dependencies
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
