Orchid Mod

Description


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.

Current Version : 1.5.0.2
- Port to 1.4.4 versions of Terraria
- Addition of the full Guardian class, with content for the entire progression


The Orchid Mod currently adds four new classes: the Shaman, the Alchemist, the Gambler, and the Guardian.

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.

Guardian
The Guardian is a living wall, using heavy Pavises, Gauntlets 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

Alchemist - up to Wall of Flesh
The Alchemist is a slow, but powerful fighter, carefully mixing deadly chemicals to create powerful Combos and Reactions.

Weapons do very little by themselves, and have to be mixed with others in order to be effective. Unique Hidden Reactions can also be discovered to help one along the way!

Experimentation and patience are the key to mastering the Alchemist class, as its high damage potential is hidden behind various combos for the player to discover.

The Alchemist class currently has content up to the Wall of Flesh. It is dated, but playable

Gambler - up to Wall of Flesh
The Gambler uses a Deck filled with unique Cards to overcome their opponents.

Each card has a very unique attack pattern that the player must master in order to fight effectively, as they cannot choose which one to draw.

Chips and Dice will help with gaps in the player's offensives by providing unique timing-based attack patterns and buffs.

By breaking the conventional way of dealing damage, the Gambler class provides a unique take on fights. Some good advice would be to collect various cards, and always adapt one’s deck to the situations to come.

The Gambler class currently has content up to the Wall of Flesh. It is dated, but playable

Shaman - unavailable
The Shaman is a master of the elements, and uses the power of Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Spirit to damage their enemies.

Each weapon is tied to an element, and attacking with it will charge a corresponding elemental bond. Once fully charged, bonds can be released, and will aid the shaman as they swap to their next weapon.

The more active Elemental Bonds a shaman has, the more powerful a shaman becomes.

The Shaman class requires the use of multiple weapons, attaining its true potential by maintaining as many active bonds as possible.


The Shaman class is currently being reworked from the ground up, and its items are currently not available

@Fenrisúlfr thanks a lot for answering all these comments

Alchemist is a class I like a lot, and really would like to expand upon, but its mechanics are really outdated, and it would need a core rework to be functional (less clunky, more interesting)

Shaman has me in a chokehold, i've been toying with it since around 2017, reworking it over and again to "work", but it never got past the identity of a second mage class...
I just want to get over with it, and make some more interesting classes, that I now have the knowledge to create

@Lemone, "Shaman I do not with to support further myself" this is from the Discord, Verveine isn't working on it. Amber in the discord from what i can tell will eventually work on it.

Whenever this gets a Calamity upgrade, I'm gonna be using this a lot. This seems super interesting based on the video. Gonna join your Discord for more updated!
