Increasing a Dogs Loyalty and Experience both increase Attack and Accuracy by up to 10% of the base stat when Loyalty and/or Experience reach 100%.
Dogs may have one of 4 Traits which are outlined below -
Dog Traits have a chance of triggering when the Dog hits the opponent during a fight. Traits may trigger when a Dog hits the opponent and when an additional random check is passed which is compared against a Dogs Loyalty. Eg. if the Dog hits the opponent and has 20% Loyalty, there is a 20% chance of a Trait being triggered.
Where specific chances of a Trait are listed in a Trait description above, that is in addition to the chances shown above. An example of this is the Tactical Reload ability, which on a Dog with 50% Loyalty, would give a 10% chance of triggering on any successfull hit due to 50% chance to trigger and then an additional 20% chance of the Trait taking effect.
All Traits may trigger multiple times during an attack and Traits may be changed as often as you wish by using a Dark Market Dog Treat, which can be purchased from the Pet Shop, other players, and the Market.
