Hero Companion 0.12.21
Hero Companion 0.12.21 — the accolade release, and every power card explains itself.
Accolades, done the way the game does them. Below your powers and IO sets is the full accolade list with a search box. Checking one moves your real numbers; a press-and-hold preview shows what all of them together would do without committing anything. Each row's ⓘ shows the game's own description, and most explain how to earn it. New level-50 builds assume the standard accolades and say so on the build — untick any you don't have and the totals follow. And it follows the game's own alignment rule: every accolade is hero-side, villain-side, or neither (read straight from the game data), and your character is one alignment — so the other side's accolades are greyed out as unavailable, exactly as in game. Switch sides with the alignment button and the panel flips. Accolades that aren't side-locked stack normally.
Every power card now says what's in its numbers. Open a power's ⓘ and, where a global buff actually reaches that power's damage (an Alpha like Musculature, a Hybrid, or both), a named line states the amount folded in — and where the game's damage cap holds it below the raw buff, the card shows the effective value, not the raw one. Build-wide bonuses like accolades that don't change a single power's numbers are pointed to Build Vitals instead of faked onto the card. Untick the incarnate preview and the line and the numbers drop together.
The numbers say what's assumed. A line above Build Vitals states exactly which assumptions are folded in, with named contribution lines beneath the stats they touch. Incarnate choices our math doesn't price yet are marked "not yet modeled." While you're leveling a character, the tool now warns when you preview endgame content you haven't earned — incarnates unlock at level 50, Epic pools at level 35 (Patron pools also need their arc) — without blocking the preview.
The AFK fire-farm champion's label was corrected upward. The June 23 patch made Temperature Protection's +MaxHP and +Regeneration enhanceable and our data predated it; re-synced, the same shipped Spines/Fiery Aura build certifies at +4x8, sustaining 42.5 HP/s. Thanks to Maelwys. A new structural check now diffs effect existence against the client so this class of staleness can't hide again, and certificates now state exactly what they prove.
Values are read from the game client. If something looks wrong, say so — this thread has made the tool better release after release.
