Targeting Reference.

Targeting Characters

For all card effects targeting Characters. Here's an explanation of the targeting parameters.

At the very least you'll need.

If you are targeting units then you'll also need at a minimum.

  • target_team: Can be set to "none", "heroes", "monsters", or "both". Note that heroes means enemies and monsters means the units the player controls.

The combination of target_mode and target_team will explain exactly what units are targeted.

Examples

  • "target_mode": "room" "target_team": "heroes" - Target all heroes in the room where the effect was played.
  • "target_mode": "front_in_room" "target_team": "monster" - Target the monster (friendly unit) in front of the room where the effect was played.
  • "target_mode": "random_in_room" "target_team": "both" - Target a monster or hero from the room chosen at random. (Picks at random 1 unit from the room it can be a monster or hero) where the effect was played.

If you are targeting cards instead then you'll also need at a minimum.

  • target_card_type: Can be set to "invalid", "spell", "monster", "blight", "junk", "equipment", or "room". Note that invalid usually means any card (it is the default value), and for scourges the name internally is junk.

If the TargetMode is not one of ("self", "last_attacked_character", "last_feeder_character", "pyre", "last_targeted_characters", "tower", or "last_attacker_character"`) and is targeting units then these additional parameters can be used.

  • target_mode_status_effect_filter: Filter out characters without all of the status effects specified.
  • target_mode_status_effects_excluded_filter: Filter out characters with all of the status effects specified.
  • target_mode_health_filter: Filter out characters not matching the health filter Can be "both" (default), "damaged" (HP != MaxHP), or "undamaged" (Hp == MaxHP)
  • target_ignore_bosses: Filters out Minibosses (Qel), Major Bosses (Arkion), and True Final Bosses (Titans)
  • target_subtype: Filter out characters without the given subtype.
  • target_character_excluded_subtypes: Filter out characters with any of the given subtypes.

Character TargetMode explanations.

  • room: Combined with target_team targets all units of the specified team in a room.
  • random_in_room: A single random target from the room is selected from those available.
  • front_in_room: The unit in front of the specified team is selected. Note that this is a singular target if you want to select both units in front (front monster and front enemy) you will need to repeat the card effect with the opposite team.
  • room_heal_targets: Like room, except the game filters out units that can not be healed. Currently only used by healing enemy units.
  • self: Only valid when used in an effect within a CharacterTrigger. This target mode will resolve to the unit whose trigger fired.
  • last_attacked_character: The last character who has been attacked. (Think: Magma Mauler's Strike: Apply Pyregel effect)
  • front_with_status: (head scratch) This one is a little funky. You can do this with "target_mode_status_effect_filter" and the "front_in_room" target_mode. A statusId is given via param_str to indicate the status. I also note that no Effects in the base game uses this target_mode and the downsides of using param_str here is that this TargetMode can't be used with a CardEffect that also uses param_str. So there's no need to use this.
  • tower: All characters on the Train.
  • back_in_room: The unit in back of the specified team is selected. Note that this is a singular target if you want to select both units in back (front monster and front enemy) you will need to repeat the card effect with the opposite team.
  • drop_target_character: This one just means the character selected when the card was played. Only valid for non-monster cards.
  • dying_character: The character who is dying. This target mode is only available with specific Character Trigger types slay, harvest type triggers.
  • weakest: Targets the weakest character (the one with the least amount of HP). In case of a tie, its in room iteration order (starting with heroes then monsters) the first character that is weakest is selected.
  • last_attacker_character: Target the last character who has attacked. (Think: Prickly Puffballs's Revenge effect).
  • last_feeder_character: Target the last character who ate a unit.
  • pyre: Target the pyre. Using this TargetMode will scroll the camera to the Pyre room when the effect fires (if unwanted be sure to set "suppress_pyre_room_focus": true)
  • random_from_any_room: A singular lucky random unit on the train (as specified by target_team).
  • last_targeted_characters: Target the last characters targeted. Very useful for follow-up effects if the first CardEffect targets DropTargetCharacter. Can not be present as the target mode of the first CardEffect.
  • last_damaged_characters: Target the characters who were damaged by the last effect. This TargetMode is unused by any effects in the game.
  • last_spawned_morsel: Target the last spawned "food" unit (any unit with an eaten trigger). Seems to be unused by the base game.
  • front_in_all_rooms: Like front_in_room but the front unit on each floor. (Think: Dominion's apply corruption on all floors effect). Again should only be used with a singular target_team.
  • front_in_room_and_room_above: Like front_in_room but also the front unit on the above floor. This TargetMode is unused by any effects in the base game.
  • weakest_all_rooms: Like weakest but the weakest unit on the whole train. (Think: Circle of Cycles, it heals the weakest friendly unit on the train for 10 HP)
  • strongest_all_rooms: Like weakest_all_floors but the opposite it is the character wtih the most HP on the traain. This TargetMode is unused by any effects in the game.
  • last_equipped_character: Only relevant in specific triggers, like Artificer. The unit that was last equipped with an equipment card.
  • last_sacrificed_character: The character who was last sacrificed. (Think: Brain Transfer, it is the only card that uses this target_mode).
  • last_spawned_character: Only relevant in specific triggers, like Rally. The unit that was last spawned. (Think: Conductor Steward giving +5 Attack / +5 Health).
  • strongest_last_targeted_characters: Like last_targeted_characters except it gets the strongest (most HP) unit out of that set of targets. This TargetMode is unused by any effects in the base game.
  • strongest_last_targeted_characters_room: This is a hack target_mode only used by Heavensward, since Heavensward ascends all units first, this target_mode needs to consider the targets in the new room. So instead of picking the strongest out of last_targeted_characters, it appends the rest of the characters in the room (as specified by target_team of course) to the search.

Card Targeting modes

  • draw_pile - Target all cards in the Draw Pile.
  • discard - Target all cards in the Discard Pile.
  • exhaust - Target all cards in the Consume Pile.
  • eaten - Target all cards in the Eaten Pile.
  • hand - Target all cards in your Hand.
  • last_drawn_card - Target the Last Card Drawn.

All other target-related parameters are ignored if TargetMode is set to these types. Some of the card effects may use the target parameters to filter out cards from the targetCards list.
