Hello and welcome, Everything you need to know about Ravenswatch – Hero Upgrades Compendium may be found in this guide. Take each step by this guidance.

Every hero upgrade and magical item in the game is shown in this guide, along with a description of what each one does. Hero organizes upgrades, magical objects are organized according to how they appear in the compendium, and consumable magical things are organized alphabetically and by acquisition location. Everything will be described in detail just as it is in-game.

Some upgrades, such as ones that deal damage or heal, change with your scaling so their numbers will be changed to x in this guide.

This guide is a work in progress; if there are any blanks, it implies that I haven’t found the information yet or added it. Some information may get stale as the game progresses through early access, but I’ll try to keep everything current.
