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. Missing data?
• 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.
• If your accuracy is low enough to suffer a stamina penalty, the "Stamina" readout at the top of the screen will show in red.
  • You can also see that you have a penalty by hovering over the Stamina readout.

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).
• Note that soliciting people to submit riddle images with answers as well as providing such are now bannable offenses - riddle images can be traced to the account they were generated for.
