20XX:Brutish Augmentation

Brutish Augmentation
Cast your powers aside. Embrace your primal power.
Statistics
Type	Prototype
Appears once per run.
Effects
Brutish rage overcomes you. Powers disabled. Maximum Energy set to 0.

Brutish Augmentation is a Prototype Augment. When acquired, the player gains a 1.5x Attack Strength multiplier, but they become unable to use Powers and their Maximum Energy gets set to 0.

Collecting System Restore will restore the player's lost Maximum Energy, and allow them to use Powers again.

When playing as a Revenant, the Attack Strength multiplier is increased to 2.0x.

Synergies

• Despite the player's Powers being disabled, Brutish Augmentation does not affect the Power Strength stat - meaning that Repros which scale with Power Strength ( Tiny Flamespewer and Shockwave Sidekick) can still deal a lot of damage.

Trivia

• When cured with System Restore, the message that appears is: Powers re-enabled!, along with indicating how much Maximum Energy the player restored.
