Mod «The_Defect» for Don't Starve Together

The Defect is a playable character from Slay the Spire adapted for Don't Starve Together.
Stats

• Health: 125
• Sanity: 50 (gain and drain rates are halved)
• Hunger: 150

Character Perks

• Energy: Attacks consume Energy. Lower Energy reduces attack power, down to 50%.
• Robot: No penalties from stale or spoiled food. Getting wet causes a short circuit. Uses WX-78's voice and quotes.
• Orbs: When a Core is equipped, four types of Orbs can be Channeled. Each Orb reduces Max Sanity by 10.

Orb Mechanics

• Equip an exclusive Core. Press R to consume Energy and summon an Orb.
• Orbs maintain a set distance from the character. Use Q and E to rotate the Orb angle.
• Only one Orb can exist at a time. Channeling a new one Evokes the previous Orb.

Lightning Orb

• Attacks once per second, dealing 10 electric damage (+5 per Focus).
• When evoked on enemy contact: deals 5x damage and causes electrical paralysis, then disappears.

Frost Orb

• Starts with 100 HP (+50 per Focus).
• Attacks apply half a tier of Freezing and draw aggro.
• Right-click to possess the Orb and block damage.
• When destroyed, it leaves an ice ring that slows non-player entities.

Dark Orb

• Absorbs a percentage of Shadow Creatures' Max Health while weakening targets. The closer the distance, the higher the absorption multiplier.
• Absorbed Max Health converts into Evoke damage. 50% of this damage is dealt as planar damage.
• Absorption effect is reduced 10x against bosses. Each point of Focus adds 3 base absorption damage, unaffected by distance or target Max Health.
• Damage value decays rapidly during Day, slower at Dusk, and not at all at Night.

Plasma Orb

• Generates Energy and provides light based on Energy level.
• Shrinks light radius to supply Energy when levels are low.
