Disguises Delimit

There are some vague or non-exact figures and information on this page. Some spading is required. Confirm mask ascension rewards and how many of them are available.

Disguises Delimit is the Fall 2018 special challenge path, introduced on August 15, 2018. This path adds variant rules and restrictions to an ascension run. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads "Everybody in the Kingdom is in disguise! Swap powerful masks with unidentified monsters!"

Restrictions

• Standard restrictions apply while Disguises Delimit is the current challenge path. These restrictions will be lifted on November 15, 2018.

Divergences

• Your adventure starts with Disguises Delimit.
  • The player acquires a Mr. Mask, which overlays their Avatar
  • Monsters have a mask overlaid on their images, which grants the monster bonuses depending on the type of mask.
  • Players may swap masks with monsters by using the combat skill Swap Mask (1 MP). The swapped mask will grant various benefits to the player, which can be checked by hovering your mouse above a worn mask.
  • The mask swapped onto the monster may switch the bonus the monster has to the new mask. A mask bonus applied at the start of combat remains with the current monster for this combat, except for the protest mask.
  • All monsters of a given type will wear the same mask at the start of combat, although which mask is worn may vary between players and Ascensions.
  • Council Quest Bosses wear masks of other bosses, with different introduction text to reflect the mask they wear in this path.

• The list of masks and their effects is shown in the table below:
