For Ravenswatch players, this guide presents every hero upgrade and magical object in the game, showing what they are and what they do. Upgrades are separated by hero, both upgrades and magical objects are sorted by how they appear in the compendium, consumable magical objects are sorted by where they’re attained and alphabetically. The descriptions for everything will be exactly as they are in-game.
Some upgrades, such as ones that deal damage or heal, change with your scaling so their numbers will simply be changed to x in this guide.
Let me know if there’s anything I missed, or if you find any errors.
This guide is a W.I.P., any blank spaces means that I have yet to discover that information myself to add it here. Some things may become outdated as the game goes through early access but I will do my best to keep it up to date.
