Gardener

The Gardener is an event class from the Easter Event. It's centered around seeds, and using them to take advantage of their unique and powerful effects. Seed effects take ten rooms to activate, so you'll need to plan ahead while using this class.

Abilities

 * Passive - Start the game with Watering Can. If you're the only Gardener, activate Selected Seed at room 30.
 * [0/15] Mystery Seed - Gain a random seed.
 * [0/20] Selected Seed - Gain a seed of your choice.

Items

 * Watering CanC - All seeds skip a room of waiting. Ten uses.
 * Rose SeedC - In ten rooms: give all players 3 vitality.
 * Lotus SeedC - In ten rooms: gain Potion of Balance and activate it instantly.
 * Daffodil SeedC - In ten rooms: give all players 3 max HP, then gain Daffodil Seed.
 * Theriac SeedC - In ten rooms: gain a Theriac Berry for every enemy in the current room (up to three). 
 * Magic SeedC - In ten rooms: 50% chance to gain Magic Seed. 50% chance to gain Magic Compound.
 * Virulent SeedC - In ten rooms: kill all enemies in the current room and gain a Virulent Berry for every enemy killed.
 * Magic CompoundC - Highly increase your stats (+20, +2 , & +10 ). Then, set your HP to 1. You cannot heal for five rooms. You may also put this in a cauldron to duplicate the next potion brewed. (Magic Compound cannot duplicate Potion of Madness.)

Strategies

 * Entering large parties is not ideal for Gardener as it will scale the already long ability cooldowns further. But if you must, then have only one Gardener in your party to prevent nullifying a decent Gardener passive.
 * A Cookie can be used to duplicate your Watering Can, and this may be the only way to have more than one Watering Can. Keep in mind that the duplicated Watering Can will retain its durability of the original.
 * When choosing seeds, think about what you want to focus on. For getting more or, pick Rose or Daffodil Seed respectively. If you need  and , pick the Lotus Seed. If you want potion ingredients, pick Theriac, Virulent, or Magic Seed.
 * Rose Seeds increase vitality by 3 which will increase the amount of healing your party receives. This is valuable if your teammates have abilities that emphasize healing such as the Healer.
 * Lotus Seeds provide a minor stats boost which is ideal to deal with quick droids. This is more prevalent in Ascension where modifiers are more common.
 * When a Lotus Seed blooms, you'll immediately equip the Potion of Balance, unequipping the item you were holding. Bear this in mind when Lotus Seed activates in a non-special room.
 * Daffodil Seeds can be worthwhile in the long term if you get them early, as you'll get their seed back in addition to the +3 once their effect activates.
 * The effects of the Theriac and Virulent Seeds can be activated early by using your Watering Can. If you have an unused Watering Can the seeds can be bloomed on the same room they are planted, at the cost of consuming your only Watering Can.
 * The berries gained from these seeds can be used to make potions (most notably Potions of Affluence, Regeneration, and Sustaining).
 * Using Magic Compound as a potion ingredient is safer as you can duplicate a Potion of Balance or Stats Up to gain the same effects of consuming one without the handicaps.
 * If you choose to consume the Magic Compound avoid engaging in close quarter combat and just rely on your ranged weapons and teammates (watch out for all the ranged droids).
 * Consuming Magic Compound at the 5th room of every world is ideal as you'll minimize the amount of rooms explored while at 1 HP and you'll receive the healing from entering a special room right after the heal negating debuff expires.
 * Capacitor is a healing utility that can bypass the healing negation from Magic Compound.
