New Game Settings

From Portals of Phereon Wiki
This article was updated for version 0.24.0.0

Maincharacter[ | ]

You can choose one out of four Main Characters, their elemental affinity, dating interests and your saved loadouts.

Difficulty[ | ]

You can change the game length and difficulty modifier here. Many toggles, choices and selections can vary the difficulty modifier from the minimum of 8% to the maximum of 774% - but to unlock Achievements and new gallery entries, which provide new start options, the difficulty modifier for that playthrough must be at or above 100%.

Game mode[ | ]

Game modes largely affect how long the game being set up will be. On the last day of the game mode, the final mission portal will spawn which you must clear within its time limit to win the game. Each mode also has separate effects, such as for how long the King's quests remain active, how many times they can be failed without game over, and so on.

Fast Normal Long
  • King's quest duration: 4 days
  • King's quest duration: 5 days
  • King's quest duration: 6 days
  • Game over: 1 failed King's quest.
  • Game over: 2 failed King's quests.
  • Game over: 3 failed King's quests.
  • Essence Portals: Every 3rd day.
  • Essence Portals: Every 4th day.
  • Essence Portals: Every 5th day.
  • Egg growth: +50%
  • Egg growth: -25%
  • Artifact Portals: Every 4th day. (Starting on Day 7)
  • Artifact Portals: Every 5th day. (Starting on Day 12)
  • Artifact Portals: Every 8th day. (Starting on Day 17)
  • Home upgrade costs are discounted by half and Town NPCs' familiarity rise twice as fast compared to other game modes.
Free play
  • King's quest duration: 7 days
  • Game over: King's quests are optional and failing them does not trigger a game over.
  • Essence Portals: Every 6th day.
  • Artifact Portals: Every 10th day (Starting Day 17)
  • Story portals do not open on predetermined dates. Instead, the player must increase the World Level via clearing regular portals. When the player achieves at least 8 of each regular portal's goals (exploration and combat), the free play world's World Level will be set to the portal's Hostility rating if it were higher. Story portals become available at WL 10, 15 and 20 and can be triggered by the buttons to the left side of the Portal nexus screen.

Farm Focus[ | ]

Usually "Both" is the best option.

NOTE1: Trait inheritance = Chance to inherit each genetic trait individually

NOTE2: Fusion trait selection = How many traits player can select based on how many traits character has.

NOTE3: Fusion focus lets you increase genes by fusing 2 equal values, while Fusion+ lets you increase genes by fusing 2 values with difference of one.

Breeding+ Breeding Both Fusion Fusion+
  • Focus on breeding characters to create stronger ones.
  • Emphasize breeding over fusion.
  • Combine breeding and fusion.
  • Emphasize fusion over breeding.

  • Fusion uses less crystals
  • Farm pairs can't create eggs! Also less control over egg genes.
  • +5 main character points to spend.
  • +5 starter points to spend.

Difficulty modifiers[ | ]

These options apply the most impact on the game's difficulty. They affect the difficulty rating in a multiplicative fashion - piling easier or harder choices will have compounding effects. Here, the options will have a difficulty factor noted within parentheses next to them. The factor of x1.0 indicates the recommended choice for new players.

Penalty[ | ]

This option determines what happens to a character who falls in battle.

Death (x1.3) Injury (x1) Nothing (x0.7)
Removes the unit permanently. Makes the unit (I)njured and no longer able to participate in combat until their injury heals. Still takes them out of the fight but they can be healed afterward to rejoin another fight.

Mc-points[ | ]

This option determines how many points the player can distribute for their Main Character.

0 (x1.6) 10 (x1.4) 20 (x1.0) 30 (x0.7) 50 (x0.5)
No Mc-points 10 Mc-points 20 Mc-points 30 Mc-points 50 Mc-points

Starter points[ | ]

This option determines how many points the player's two Starter units receive. Here, the Starters refer to the girls the player can configure under the Starters option to the right of the screen. Like with Mc-points, this option ranges from 0 to 50 albeit with different difficulty factors.

0 (x1.2) 10 (x1.1) 20 (x1.0) 30 (x0.8) 50 (x0.6)
No Starter points 10 Starter points 20 Starter points 30 Starter points 50 Starter points

Starting money[ | ]

The Main Character will have access to money at the start of the game depending on this option.

-1000 (x1.3) 100 (x1.15) 500 (x1.0) 1000 (x0.9) 2000 (x0.8)
Start 1000 gold in debt Start with 100 gold Start with 500 gold Start with 1000 gold Start with 2000 gold

Save type[ | ]

This option configures how the player can save and load their progress and interact with the chosen game mode.

Limited (x1.3) In Town (x1.0) Always (x0.8)
Player can load up to:

3 times in Short,
5 times in Normal,
10 times in Long,
50 times in Free Play.

Each time a save file is loaded, the counter goes down by 1, when it reaches 0, the player may not save that particular game anymore.

Player can save and load as many times as they want, but only while they are in Town. Allows the player to save even within portals outside of Town.

King's Quests[ | ]

Four toggles to the top right of the screen show what types of King's quests you will receive in the game.

Breeding Require you to raise a character that fits the King's demands, either as a soldier with combat stats or a breeder with breeding stats.
Portal-Exploration/Fights Require you to enter random portals to explore a certain percentage of it or conduct a certain number of battles there.
Combat/Arena Requires you to fight in the Arena, either in daily random battles or in ranked battles with one of the King's soldiers.
Training Requires you to raise the King's units in certain ways, such as up to a specific level or sex skill competency.

Choosing all 4 applies a x1.2 multiplier to the difficulty,
Choosing 3 applies a x1.0 multiplier,
Choosing 2 applies a x0.9 multiplier,
Choosing only 1 will apply x0.6 multiplier.

It is impossible to choose none even if King's quests are rendered optional.

Bonus[ | ]

The list of options here forms the main bulk of difficulty boosts. The percent numbers here are additive instead of multiplicative. The list here is up to date as of v0.22.01.

Starters[ | ]

You can choose your starters species, genes and traits.

Initially you can only pick from Base Species.
After you unlock a Hybrid Species in the gallery you can also pick them.

You will receive starting Essence based on what primary species you've picked for your starters. If you choose hybrid species make sure that you've chosen the right primary species, as Centaur/Mermaid and Mermaid/Centaur starters will have different essence.

Additionally you can see your starters species description, base stats and possible, as well as guaranteed skills.

Challenge Rank[ | ]

Challenge Ranks provide additional difficulty increases that do not affect other unlockable settings. Instead of allowing more flexible options, Challenge Ranks simply make the game harder. However, there exists a rare Achievement at clearing a Challenge Rank 10 game with a powerful reward.

Each CR up to 10 has a unique global modifier that complicate a playthrough in its own ways. Beginning with CR11, more general, numerical bonuses begin to apply to enemies. There appears no limit to how many Challenge Ranks can pile up.

With a brand new game, the Challenge Rank is limited to 0. Each time the player clears a game in the highest Challenge Rank, the next rank is unlocked for future playthroughs.

Rank Details[ | ]

  • 1: Enemies have +25% strength/magic/LDmg. The player cannot flee on the first turn.
  • 2: Portals spawn less frequently and cost +400% more gold to enter.
  • 3: Unstable portals' hostility increases by 2.
