Perks

Perks are a central part of the game's playstyle, and can greatly affect how you do in your journey in Excursion. Currently there are 5 perks in game, and you can switch between perks you own at any time, though most are locked to a single file.

Civilian
The Civilian perk is the most basic of all the perks, it provides nothing beneficial, but at the same time nothing harmful. The Civilian perk used to be exclusive to choosing at the beginning of the game, but now it is obtainable in the Chapter 2 Shop for 10,000 Coins.

Reaper
The Reaper perk is an exclusive perk, as you aren't able to obtain it without choosing it at the beginning of the game. The Reaper perk provides a player a small amount of Regen after they have killed an enemy, scaling based on the player's level and how much health the enemy they killed has. The side affect of having the Reaper perk is a 30% loss of coins and exp from all enemies.

Runner
The Runner perk is an exclusive perk to a single file, as Runner, like most perks is only obtainable during the creation of a file. The Runner perk gives a small amount of speed to the player on every level up, but deducts 1 HP per level to compensate.

Juggernaut
The Juggernaut perk is another exclusive perk, only obtainable once in a file, and is very similar in function to the Runner perk. Like the Runner perk, the Juggernaut perk scales by level, but this time in reverse, speed is reduced upon leveling, but your HP is increased by 2.

Alchemist
The Alchemist perk is the final of the player exclusive perks, along with the others listed above, and it has a very unique function. The Alchemist perk raises the value of all potions by a value that scales at (value) per level. The negative effect of Alchemist is a 30% decrease in all Gold gained from enemies.
