Superlikely

A superlikely is a type of encounter most well known for being difficult to understand. The important part of a superlikely is that they have conditions on them (such as turns spent in a zone, having an effect active, being in BM, etc.) and the conditions for every superlikely in the zone are checked when you adventure there, before normal combats/noncombats are considered. If you meet all of the conditions for a superlikely adventure (and didn't get another encounter with higher precedence, only combats, noncombats, and hipster monsters are lower), you will get that adventure. If you meet all of the conditions for multiple superlikelies, a 1DN is rolled to decide which you get (these include BM adventures).

An important point to consider is that not all encounters with conditions are superlikelies. Regular noncombat or combats can have conditions too. What distinguishes a superlikely is when the game checks to see if you'll get one.

For more on how superlikelies relate to other types of encounters, see Encounter.

Superlikely Adventures

Superlikely adventures are any adventure with conditions on it whose conditions are checked every time you adventure. Many of these adventures are unaffected by combat modifiers, but not all are. (See Jick's post in the notes for this definition.)

  • All Bad Moon-specific adventures are superlikelies.
    • It is unknown what the frequencies of Bad Moon adventures are.
    • It is also unknown if all Bad Moon adventures share the same frequency.
  • Most of the NS13 superlikelies are still being spaded.
