** The Still Bastion contains Fall-bots, icicle-like robots that crawl along the ceiling and drop onto you when you pass underneath them, exploding into two bullets on contact. With a carefully-timed smash, you can use them as weapons.

* CursedWithAwesome: The Cursed Transmutation blessing converts all of the Judge Blood acquired that run into regular Blood. However, by the time you're able to get this blessing, you'll probably already have unlocked almost the entire skill tree anyway, at which point Judge Blood is essentially a useless currency - so choosing this blessing means you instantly earn thousands of spendable Blood with absolutely no downside.

* MiniBoss: Each level has a Guardian, a miniboss who must be defeated first in order to unlock the boss fight.

** Quality Looter increases the chance of getting high-quality items from random drops..

* Lucky Charm increases the chance of an item dropping when completing a room.
* Turbo Loot causes Judges to drop more items on death.
* Quality Looter increases the chance of getting high-quality items from random drops..

Armed with only a long sword and a trusty AttackDrone, the player must explore a randomly-arranged maze of rooms and use their agility and quick reflexes to kill all the enemies in each room. Various powers and blessings can be obtained along the way to increase your deadliness. At the end of each level is a powerful Judge who guards the exit.

* CriticalStatusBuff: The Bear Spirit blessing increases your attack power as you become more injured.

* BreatherLevel: Most rooms have two waves of enemies, and some even have more; however, a couple of room layouts in the first level have only one easy wave.

* GiantSpider: NightWeaver, the Judge of the Living Walls.

* CursedWithAwesome: The Cursed Transmutation blessing converts all of the Judge Blood acquired that run into regular Blood. However, by the time you're able to get this blessing, you'll probably already have unlocked almost the entire skill tree anyway, at which point Judge Blood is essentially a useless currency - so choosing this blessing means you instantly earn thousands of spendable Blood with absolutely no drawback.

* ThrowTheMookAtThem: The Smash attack can be used to launch enemies at other enemies.

* MookMaker: The giant jellyfish enemy in the Still Bastion has no direct attack, but it spits out hordes of smaller jellyfish which do.

* BulletTime: One of the blessings makes enemy projectiles move slower while you are standing on the ground.

* MultiMookMelee: The gameplay is almost entirely based around this.

* WeWillUseWikiWordsInTheFuture: [=ScourgeBringer=] is always rendered in CamelCase for some reason.

* Gun: Kyhra's attack drone can fire bullets in any direction, giving her long-range attack capability when melee isn't an option. The gun has limited ammunition, but replenishes during combat. Several different gun varieties and upgrades can be acquired or purchased throughout the game.

** Similarly, enemy projectiles disappear as soon as the last enemy is defeated, preventing cheap post-victory deaths. An exception to this rule is adult splat-flies in The Wasted Pit, which can get you even after they die.

* SpikesOfDoom: Many screens contain trapped platforms with pressure-activated spikes.

** Similarly, all enemy projectiles disappear as soon as the last enemy is defeated, preventing cheap post-victory deaths.

* OneHitPolykill: The dash attack can slash through and kill multiple enemies at once. It can eventually be upgraded to a combination of Slash/Dash, the Dragon Punch, which has a cooldown of 1 second so you can't spam it each time, though you can find a temporary buff to knock it down to .5 for the run.
