Ability List

🪷 Orchid Aura

Your abilities are powered by orchid pollen. Standing near blue orchids or potted orchids gradually builds up Aura over time. You can also consume orchids to gain a small amount of Aura.

Additional Information: Your hunger increases when gaining Aura from consuming orchids, and it passively replenishes over time when at maximum Aura.

🌻 Blooming

You can expend some Aura to duplicate orchids.

Additional Information: Crouch and use placed orchids to multiply them.

🦗 Fluttering Hindwings

Your fall is slowed while you have Aura.

👻 Cryptic Mimicry

Crouching near orchids allows you to become invisible.

Additional Information: Attacks while invisible inflict the Entranced effect on your opponent. This rewards you with Aura based on the damage dealt when applying this effect.

🌀 Petal Portal: Primary Ability

You can instantly teleport to an orchid within your line of sight, at the cost of Aura.

🌺 Whispering Wings: Secondary Ability

Upon activation, you can dash forward slightly, and you can perform a second dash if activated immediately after the first. Each dash consumes Aura; the second requires more but propels you further.

Additional Information: Contact with an orchid while dashing instantly replenishes both dashes, allowing you to create ladders or pathways with orchids.

🌸 Sliced Petal

Taking damage removes Aura based on the damage received, and being attacked while using Cryptic Mimicry depletes significantly more.

👑 Uncrowned

Having no Aura doubles the damage you take.

🫒 Driven

You naturally obtain fewer nutrients from food.

🛏️ Germination

You spawn with a single blue orchid.
