I need the inspirations explained to me

[savair]

I am curious what each one does, I know what Rage does, but like say Sturdy , luck and Insight I am not sure what that does can someone explain

That City of Data link will give you a more exact definition, but roughly:

 

Insight allows you to see ghosts that are trying to escape and increases your to-hit chance.

 

Sturdy increases your damage resistance.

 

Luck increases your defense.

 

If you're missing a lot, pop a yellow. If you're taking too much damage, pop an orange, if you're getting hit too often, pop a purple. If you're confused, pop a break-free.

You can always right-click the inspiration in game and pick info and see what it does, too.

 

They're all color coded.

Then there are incarnate inspirations which are damned expensive and help leagues get difficult incarnate trial badges…

I'm used to people using the term "Chiclets".

 

 

My favorite kind is the green ones.

The wiki links posted here give good explanations of each inspiration and what they do, but there are some other important things to note regarding inspirations that might not be immediately clear from the wiki alone.

 

Firstly, small (tier 1) inspirations are very common drops, so feel free to use them often. I know people tend to hoard booster items in most games, but with how often they drop in this game, it's not necessary. This is especially true at higher levels, where you have more slots for inspirations. Use them whenever you need them, as they can be easily found, and if you need a particular inspiration, hospitals sell every kind of small inspiration for 50 INF (awakens are 150 INF). 

 

Secondly, you can combine 3 of the same type of inspiration for 1 of another type, but they all have to be the same tier and type. For example, I can combine three "enrage" inspirations for one "sturdy" inspiration, but I cannot combine 2 enrage and 1 focused rage, because while they're both of the same type, they are not the same tier. Be advised that, in group play, they are typically referred to by color, not by the actual name. If a player says "I need 2 small reds" they're asking for two enrage inspirations. The only exceptions are Break Free and Awaken inspirations (commonly called "wakies"), which are referred to by name.

 

Finally, some things to be aware of that aren't explained by the inspiration page on the wiki.

 

Yellow inspirations (insight) boost To-Hit and perception. Perception helps you see stealthy enemies, like ghosts who suddenly disappear in the middle of combat. It's very important to note that some enemies can blind you, and the word "blinded" will appear in red under your status bar. While blinded, your perception is basically set to 0, and you won't be able to see or target enemies. Despite what you may think, "blinded" is not a status effect, so using a Break Free inspiration will do nothing in this case. If you ever wind up blinded, yellow inspirations can temporarily let you see again, since being blinded lowers your perception, and yellow inspirations boost perception. If you're fighting on a team and suddenly all of the enemies disappear, but your teammates are still visible and fighting, then most likely you've been blinded.

Hope this helps!

Funny, but seriously, those dual/team insps seem hugely underrated. 

 

I think they should drop more often, but it'd really mess up the organisation of my pretty insp tray.
