First off, what exactly are Codexes in Necropolis? These are unique, account-bound items you acquire using Tokens of Favor, offering permanent enhancements to your gameplay. Once purchased, a Codex becomes available for all characters on your account, forever. This means every subsequent run can benefit from these powerful boons.
You can equip and change your Codex at the beginning of each run and also at the end of every level. However, it’s important to note that you can only have one Codex active at any given time. Choosing the right Codex for your playstyle and the challenges ahead is a crucial part of mastering Necropolis.
In understanding Codex effects, you’ll often encounter the term “exhaustion.” In this guide, “exhaustion” refers to when an action depletes your maximum stamina. A Codex that reduces exhaustion, therefore, lessens the impact on your maximum stamina depletion from specific actions. Conversely, when we refer to “stamina” alone, it indicates effects on your normal stamina regeneration or degradation, without affecting your maximum stamina cap.
