Effect
What Persistence does
Increases a timed skill effect's duration.
Persistence is a level-up pick that raises Duration for the rest of the run. Every further pick adds another level, up to 60; rarer offers grant more per level.
Per level
Persistence by rarity
| Common | +0.06× Duration |
|---|---|
| Uncommon | +0.075× Duration |
| Rare | +0.09× Duration |
| Epic | +0.11× Duration |
| Legendary | +0.13× Duration |
Luck — from Fortune or the Censer — shifts your offers toward the rarer rows.
Skills
Skills Persistence boosts
Persistence multiplies a track these skills upgrade, so the two compound:
Shadow Dagger
Blades orbit you, striking anything they pass through.
Shuriken
Spinning stars that ricochet between enemies.
Frost Nova
An icy ring damages foes and can freeze them solid.
Cyclone
A traveling vortex that briefly pulls foes and repeatedly damages them.
Sentry
Summons a crossbow sentry. Watchman’s Sigil adds another, up to five.
Spirit
A flying companion that follows you and fires magic bolts.
Thornlash
A line of thorns erupts toward the thickest foes, rooting them briefly.
Venom Flask
Lobs venom that leaves a lingering pool. Ground enemies inside take repeated hits.
Timing
When to take Persistence
Take it once two or three damage skills are in place: Persistence multiplies what you already have, so it is worth more with every skill you add. Out of slots? The Thorn Archive on each floor’s plaza removes a potion, and the Diamond Trader sells extra potion slots.
