FEAR OF FAITH — the FEAR & FAITH system
Casting spends FAITH and causes FEAR; learn what restores each resource before SHE comes for you.
Official description: casting spells consumes your FAITH, which causes you to be in FEAR. Some eldritch horrors can drain your FAITH as well, and if you fail to keep it steady, SHE will come for you — then you become a GHOUL… or something worse.
How FAITH works
- Casting spells — every cast consumes FAITH.
- Eldritch horrors — some can drain FAITH directly.
What raises FEAR
Casting spells causes FEAR while it spends FAITH. Official information does not publish numerical costs, thresholds or stacking rules, so treat every exact number as unverified.
How to reduce FEAR
- Alcohol — lowers FEAR.
- Ally spells — teammates can use spells that lower FEAR.
- Generator light — restores FAITH and slightly tames monsters while active.
Beer, alcohol and COPIUM
Alcohol or BEER is an official FEAR-control tool. The early-access announcement confirms three types of beer, but names, effects, duration, stacking and side effects are not officially published here. COPIUM can be bought during a mission; its exact effect, price and timing are also unverified.
What happens if FAITH gets too low?
If you fail to keep FAITH steady, SHE will come for you — and you become a GHOUL, or something worse. A patch note also refers to The Goddess transforming players into Ghouls, but current official text does not explicitly map SHE and The Goddess as the same entity. No official threshold or transformation timer is published.
Manage the loop as a squad
Coordinate spell use, FEAR relief and generator decisions instead of treating either resource alone. Cover FAITH support, combat and scouting needs, and see Builds & Synergies for the team-level framework.
