Traps

Overview

Traps are found on the ground and activate when stepped on,
or when an object is thrown or dropped on top of them.

Allies who are thrown onto traps receive the same effect as Shiren stepping on them,
but ally monsters receive the same effect of an enemy monster stepping on them.

Example: Asuka's current HP is halved when she is thrown onto a Landmine,
but an ally Mamel that is thrown onto a Landmine instantly collapses.

Traps can be destroyed by splashing water on them from a Water Pot.
However, traps can't be destroyed by explosions or the effect of a Flood Trap.
Traps thrown into water will vanish with the message "[Trap name] disappeared..."
Piko Hammers can destroy visible traps, and a Knockback Staff can be used to send
a trap flying, dealing a small amount of damage to a target and making the trap vanish.

Hidden traps can't be detected by the [Ground] menu option.
Swinging a Mallet over a tile with a hidden trap will reveal the trap without destroying it,
and swinging the Mallet again over the visible trap will destroy the trap.
Hidden traps can be destroyed in one turn using a Mallet if Shiren ate Sight Grass.

Damage dealt by traps increases as Shiren levels up when he has Trapper status,
but Shiren's level is not a factor for damage dealt when he doesn't have Trapper status.

Trap List

Dmg: Damage dealt by the trap when Shiren doesn't have Trapper status.
Break: Chance of a trap breaking when Shiren has Trapper status.

Image	Name	Dmg	Break	Notes

	Pitfall	3~6	100%	Deals 3~6 damage and makes you advance to the floor below. The floor advancing effect is nullified in areas like Napus Storage, boss rooms, or Shuffle Dungeon maps (excluding Shuten Mid 12F). Monster: The monster falls into a void and vanishes. (Monsters defeated using Pitfalls never drop items).
	Trip Stone	2~4	10%	Deals 2~4 damage, and makes you drop items in front of you. Equipped items are never dropped when tripped. Carry a Balance Staff in your inventory to avoid tripping. Hoarding Statue prevents dropping items when tripped. Monster: Deals 2~4 damage, and makes the monster drop 1 item. (Only 1 item can be obtained per monster)
	Landmine	50%	8%	Deals damage equal to 50% of Shiren's current HP. Shiren will collapse if he steps on it with 1 HP remaining. Destroys items, monsters, and walls in a 1-tile radius. Nearby explosions will also activate it. (excluding Cannonballs)
	Big Landmine	75%	8%	Same as Landmine, but deals damage equal to 75% of current HP.
	Flood	75%	100%	Deals damage equal to 75% of current HP to all characters. No effect on frozen monsters, and sleeping monsters wake up. Changes the position of items, characters, and statues. Turns onigiri into Spoiled Onigiri, and scrolls into Wet Scrolls. Onigiri and scrolls inside pots aren't affected by the flood. If a shop was present, the entire floor will be treated as a shop, and Shopkeepers will wander in search for the stairs. Patient Bags will be sealed as a result of the flood. Floods can't occur in Shuffle Dungeon maps.
	Rust	-	13%	Lowers equipped weapon and shield upgrade values by 1. No effect on plated (金 seal) or innately rustproof equipment. If activated by a thrown item, its upgrade value is lowered by 1. Monster: Lower defense to 0. Slows Boy Cart, Pop Tank, and Cranky Tank.
	Summon	-	100%	Summons 4 identical monsters from the floor's monster table. Summons fewer than 4 if there isn't enough room, but can summon inside water or walls if the chosen monster can traverse those tiles. Monsters will act immediately after being summoned if the trap was activated using the [Ground] menu option, by a thrown item, or if stepped on while Shiren has Slow status.
	Spin	-	15%	Confuses the character that stepped on it for 10 turns. Monster: Confuses the monster that stepped on it for 20 turns.

	One-Way	-	15%	Foces anyone who steps on it to move in the pointed direction. The direction of the arrow is based on the direction Shiren is facing when the trap is placed, but it can't point diagonally. Only found inside Halfway Well.

Trap Damage

Trap damage scales with Shiren's level when he has Trapper status.

Key: Level, Droplet, Arrow, Burr, Iron Arrow, Rockfall, Rockslide, Trip Stone, Poison, Pitfall, Log.

Experience Points

Shiren with Trapper status gains exp equal to 95% of the normal amount when he defeats
an enemy using a trap, or 75% of the normal amount if the trap doesn't defeat the enemy.
However, Spoil Trap will be the same amount as not defeating an enemy using a trap.
Shiren only gains 20% of the normal amount if he defeats enemies using direct attacks.

Chain Trap Experience Points

Chain Traps activate all other traps in a 1-tile radius, potentially granting lots of exp.
The chain can be continued by placing traps at the end points of One-Way and Log traps,
or by placing Landmines in close proximity so that they explode one after the other.
The formula used in calculating experience points in a trap chain is shown below.

n = Number of traps that trapped an enemy prior to the Chain Trap activating.
m = Numer of Chain Traps that triggered due to a trap that moves an enemy (max: 1),
or the number of Landmines that exploded away from a Chain Trap.
N = Number of traps that trapped an enemy due to a Chain Trap activating.
M = Number of traps activated by a Chain Trap that didn't trap an enemy.
L = Number of Landmines that exploded within a 1-tile radius of a Chain Trap.
(L isn't included in M, and the number of Chain Traps isn't counted for n or N)

Exp = Normal amount * 0.75 *
[n^2 + n * m * (2 * N + 1) + 0.5 * N * (N + 3) + M * (n + 1) + L * (n + N / 2)]

However, a Chain Trap on its own: Exp = Normal amount * (3 / 4)

If the trap defeated an enemy, the following is added to the amount of exp:

Normal amount * (1 / 5) * (n + N)

Multiplier Table

This section shows the exp multiplier for a chain where the enemy is not defeated,
and when there aren't any traps that fail to trap an enemy, including explosion chains.

n = Number of traps that successfully trapped an enemy prior to the Chain Trap activating.
N = Number of traps that successfully trapped an enemy due to a Chain Trap activating.
m = Number of Chain Traps (max: 1)
