• Q) What is Heat?

A) Mechanically speaking, Heat functions as your Experience.

• Q) Why do I want to drop Heat?

A) Your Heat has a cap. A static total that once hit, does not allow you to gain any more heat beyond it. This Heat Capped state also negates any Creature Wins or Stat Gains obtained.

• Q) How do I drop Heat?

A) Heat loss in combat is strongly tied to your current Vitale, and the creatures involved in both attack and defense. I will not explain COMBO or Bursts, as those are secrets that should be discovered organically, but know they are involved as well.

• Q) Why are Popes so involved in Heat Loss?

A) The Popes have an ability that manipulates the main combat mechanics related to Heat Loss. I encourage you to play around with the Combat System to figure out the specifics.

• Below are the optimal options for dropping Heat in Classic Combat if you don't want to figure out the Combat System for yourself. I once again encourage you to discover the specifics on your own, but there are those who would rather just have the answers, and I will respect that. The Spoiler below holds the info, proceed at your own risk.

Heat Drop : Max Efficiency

• Option 1

1 Sacrilegious Antipope : MartyrAll (Top Left circle in combat prep. Combat is broken, top left in combat prep appears as top middle in combat).

2 Santa : MartyrRandom (Top Middle & Top Right circles in combat prep).

3 Reanimated Roots : MartyrMultiple (Bottom Row).

Make sure you've Burst just post your Regen timer Reset, & your Ritual has max COMBO. If possible have an ally Cast GiveVital on you after they Burst. Cast MirrorRitual on yourself, & attack out to all targets.

• Option 2

Use the same Ritual & mechanics as option 1 or any applicable replacements, and attack out to any ritual with any Popes or LifeSteal in defense.

You can instantly lose all your heat by purchasing HS potions in the Willow shop.

A coin sink is great for the economy, but not so great for ones pockets. The request was for combat that could function to drop heat.
