Three Goblets

🏆 Three Goblets: Automated Combat and Build Theory

Three Goblets masquerades as a simple RPG, but it is fundamentally a systems optimization puzzle. The player does not control the combat; the combat is automated. The gameplay takes place entirely in the inventory and menu screens. Your task is to construct a mathematical engine (your hero's stats and gear) that can solve a specific problem (the dungeon's enemy composition). It distills the RPG genre down to its purest form: Theorycrafting.

In the 2026 strategy niche, this game is valued for its item synergy mechanics. A sword isn't just damage; it's a variable that interacts with your attack speed, lifesteal, and minion buffs. Balancing these variables is the puzzle.

🧠 Cognitive & Analytical Skills

Beating the game requires spreadsheet-like logic:

• Synergy Identification: "If I use the Goblet of Fire, my minions deal fire damage. Therefore, I should equip items that boost minion attack speed." Creating these logical chains increases DPS exponentially.
• Resource Prioritization: You have limited inventory slots. Do you keep a rare item for a future build, or sell it for immediate upgrades? Opportunity cost analysis is constant.
• Probability Management: Loot drops are RNG (random). However, you can manipulate the odds. Farming specific levels yields specific item types.

🎮 Mechanics & Goblets

The core systems revolve around the titular Goblets:

• The Goblets: These act as global modifiers. One might grant lifesteal but reduce health. Another grants minions. Choosing the right Goblet defines your class archetype (Summoner, Tank, Glass Cannon).
• The Tetris Inventory: Your inventory is a grid. Items have shapes. Fitting your loot into the bag is a literal spatial puzzle that limits how much power you can carry.
• Auto-Battle Logic: You watch the fights. Observing why you died (e.g., "I got stunned") tells you what stat to fix (e.g., "I need status resistance").

🏆 Build Strategy

1. The Summoner Build

Early game, the "Blue Goblet" (Summoning) is powerful. Minions act as meat shields and damage dealers. Stack items that give "+Minion Damage" rather than hero damage. Let the army do the work.

2. The Lifesteal Tank

For bosses, survivability is key. Combine high armor items with a weapon that has Lifesteal. As long as your healing per second (HPS) exceeds the boss's DPS, you are mathematically invincible.
