RiddleMaster
When fighting in any battle mode in the HentaiVerse (besides the Ring of Blood) players may randomly be presented with a puzzle that must be solved within a time limit.
Mechanics
- Select all ponies that are visible in the picture, by checking the box next to the pony name.
- Submit your answer within the allowed time, by clicking the 'submit' button. If you are less than a couple of seconds too late with 'submit', the system will use the then selected ponies.
- Each riddle has three pony pictures: this can be three times the same picture, or it can be different ponies - there can be one, two or three different ponies in a picture.
- The time limit starts at 30 seconds; it is decreased gradually to 20 at level 300. [NEEDS CHECKING]
- The level of obfuscation (blobbiness and graininess, making ponies less clearly visible) increases with your level and how much you've played recently.
- There's a increased chance a riddle will appear after the 1st round of any multi-round battle mode.
- Refreshing the page has no negative consequences except the timer will still count down during the page reload.
- RiddleMaster appearances do not count as a round.
Correct
Players who submit any answer within the time limit receive the following effects:
Blessing of the RiddleMaster. You have been blessed by the RiddleMaster. Your attack and magic damage are temporarily increased by 10%. Lasts 20 turns.
- This effect is increased to 20% for 50 turns for players with the Enigma Energizer Hath Perk.
Players who submit any answer within the first half of the allowed time also receive:
- A healing effect equivalent to a combined health gem, mana gem and spirit gem.
Incorrect
The system does not give you feedback on whether your answer is right or wrong.
System will track how many ponies were missed and how many wrong ponies were selected in the most recent period.
If there are too many errors, you will get a penalty: faster stamina consumption during battle (exact value of the penalty is undisclosed).
There is a margin of error, you can get an undisclosed number wrong before you'll get a penalty.
You can see if you have a penalty by hovering over the stamina value in HentaiVerse.
Puzzles
Puzzles in the system include:
- Three pictures ponies from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic will appear in some orientation. Players must select the correct the correct name of all the ponies shown. This can be 1, 2 or 3 different ponies. A link located above the timer provides an image for players who are not familiar with the series (Pony Chart).
