Arcana QOL

A Hades II mod that provides Quality of Life improvements for Arcana cards.

Current Features

The Queen - Relaxed Requirements

The Queen (Persephone) arcana card has an automatic equip requirement based on how many arcana cards with the same cost you have equipped.

Vanilla Behavior

• The Queen auto-unequips if you have 3 or more cards with the same cost

With This Mod

• The Queen auto-unequips only if you have 4 or more cards with the same cost
• Allows you to equip 3 cards with the same cost while keeping The Queen active
• In-game description is automatically updated to show the correct number

Technical Details

• Arcana Card: The Queen (BonusRarity)
• Modified Values:
  • AutoEquipRequirements.MaxDuplicateCount changed from 2 to 3
  • AutoEquipText updated to display the new requirement in-game
• Effect: The card's trait (Duo Rarity Boost) benefits from having more card flexibility
