What is Lyonspyre?¶
Lyonspyre runs on classic combat math: flat, readable damage and honest HP curves, with none of the stat inflation that drowns out player skill. The world is a hand-built classic realm, rebuilt tile by tile with custom art. On top of that foundation sits a layer of modern systems - talent trees, elemental resonance, leaderboards, multi-target boss aggro - that give the long-term progression and end-game depth the old style never had.
You play it through the Lyonspyre Client, which adds richer in-game panels - talents, leaderboard, profile, cooldowns - over the classic gameplay window.

Wiki conventions¶
- Formulas are shown verbatim. If a page shows
15000 / ((Stam+100) * Speed), that's the exact math the engine runs. - Versioned content is dated. When a system changed, the page says when and what the prior behaviour was.
- Cross-references use the
[[link]]style - every formula links to the page that documents it in depth. - Search is instant. Hit / or click the search bar; results highlight as you type.
