Buffs on Mounts

Mounts can grant buffs to the player at the start of each combat encounter. The buffs are applied with the stack count specified by buffStacks.

A common pattern for time-limited buffs is a countdown buff: a buff with canStack: true, an initial stacks value equal to the desired duration in rounds, and an onRoundEffects entry of { kind: 'add', amount: { value: -1, stat: undefined } }. Each round, the stack count decrements by 1. When stacks reach 1, the buff expires.

// Example: a 3-round combat buff granted by a mount
const vigorBlessing: Buff = {
  name: 'Vigor Blessing',
  icon: vigorIcon,
  canStack: true,          // allows multiple stacks
  stats: {
    power: { value: 0.15, stat: 'power' },
  },
  onRoundEffects: [
    { kind: 'add', amount: { value: -1, stat: undefined } }, // decrement stacks each round
  ],
  stacks: 3,               // starts at 3, expires after 3 rounds
};

export const swiftSteed: MountItem = {
  kind: 'mount',
  name: 'Swift Steed',
  description: 'A loyal steed blessed with vigor.',
  icon: steedIcon,
  stacks: 1,
  rarity: 'empowered',
  realm: 'qiCondensation',
  speed: 200,
  buffs: [
    { buff: vigorBlessing, buffStacks: { value: 1, stat: undefined } },
  ],
};
