Orchid Mod

The Orchid Mod aims to add content to the game in polished and refreshing ways. You will not find the usual vanilla class items here, as the content Orchid Mod provides is based on new classes with unique and complex mechanics.

- A new weapon subclass for guardians : Quarterstaves, with content spread thorough the game
- A lot of reworks, changes, and polishing to existing Guardian content
- Thorium Pre-Hardmode Cross-content for Guardian
- Pre-Hardmode content for a new class : the Shapeshifter

- Various bugfixes, and early Warhammers balancing


The Orchid Mod currently adds one (and a half) new classes: the Guardian and the Shapeshifter.

These new classes are aimed at experienced players, looking for a refreshing way of playing the game. They can be considerably harder to play than vanilla classes, and might require some dedication to achieve a desirable damage output.

The Guardian is a living wall, using heavy Pavises, Gauntlets, Quarterstaves and devastating Warhammers to crush their foes and defend themselves.
Unique Runes will provide the player with long lasting damage, and Standards will provide usefull effects in battle.

Weapons are tied to unique Slam and Block resources that should be restored using a good weapon rotation.

Alternating between defensive and offensive stances while staying in the middle of the fight is the key to playing the guardian class effectively.

The Guardian class has content spread thourough the entire game, and allows comfortably beating it

The Shapeshifter vanquises their foes by transforming into multiple wildshapes, each having unique abilities and completely replacing normal movement.

Predators are fast, and excel at single-target, while Sages are slower, but can control and deal damage to multiple enemies.
Wardens unleash slow but powerful hits while healing their wounds, and Symbiotes turn into powerful teammates, requiring a multiplayer friend to function!

Adapting to the unique movement of each wildshape, and picking the right one for each battle is the key to playing the shapeshifter class!

The Shapeshifter class has content up to the Wall of Flesh

  It works with the mod, but the classes will be underpowered.
