Embrace the Power of the Standard

At the heart of The Flagbearer’s gameplay lies a novel mechanic: planting their flag. This action is not merely symbolic; it actively empowers the character, enabling a variety of potent effects. Once planted, the flag becomes a focal point for strength, bolstering The Flagbearer with persistent benefits and unleashing damaging pulses. This creates a dynamic playstyle where strategic flag deployment is key to overcoming the Spire’s challenges.

Discover a diverse set of cards, each featuring original, captivating artwork, that synergize with the flag’s presence. Bolster your defenses and offenses further with unique relics, adding new layers of strategic decision-making to your runs.

Key features of The Flagbearer mod include:

• A vast collection of 78 new cards, each adorned with unique, digitally painted artwork.
• 10 all-new relics, imbued with their own distinct flavor text to enrich the lore.
• 3 exclusive character-specific potions to turn the tide of battle.
• Engaging animated character art, along with custom splash, campfire, defeated, and ending screens.
• The core “Flag” mechanic, enabling buffs and passive damage through planting.
