Nodes

Nodes are equippable items in Master X Master. These items provide useful passive bonuses to Masters, such as bonus damage or additional movement speed.

Nodes are split into three categories:
 * Offensive: This type of nodes affect a Master's auto-attacks: increasing weapon damage, granting higher critical strike chance, etc.
 * Defensive: This type of nodes affect a Master's survivability: increasing their raw defenses, health pool, stamina regeneration'', etc.
 * Auxiliary: This type of nodes affect other aspects of a Master: increasing skill damage, resource regeneration, movement speed, decreasing tag cooldown, etc.

There are a total of 5 tiers of nodes, identified by the color of their icon borders and node name:, , , and.

Nodes are obtained by completing Stages, purchased using Battlefield Medals in the Medal Exchange, or purchased with  Gold from the Node Merchants located around the Dredgion.

Node Pages
Nodes must be equipped into Node Pages to be used. Each individual Node Page has space for six different Nodes.

Each player starts with 2 node pages, and more can be unlocked with Gold or  X-Coin. A node can be equipped in only one node page at a time, but it can be freely removed in order to equip a different node, or to move it to another node page. Players are also able to equip multiple of the same Node in a single Node Page.

All of the node pages a player owns are shared between all of their Masters. Players can select a node page for each Master to use in a match in the Master Selection Lobby.

Node Compatibility
Each Master has a certain affinity with different amounts of the different Node types. Each Node category in a Node Page will contribute 100% of its stats as long as the number of Nodes does not exceed the Master's compatibility with that category (e.g. Lua is compatible with 2 Offensive, 2 Defensive and 2 Auxiliary Nodes).

Exceesding the amount of nodes a master is compatible with will reduce the effectiveness of all nodes of that type in that Node Page. Other nodes types will contribute their full value unless they also exceed a Master's compatibility.

Additionally, it's important to note that nodes only contribute 50% of their stats (after compatibility adjustments) in PvP game modes such as Normal and A.I. Match Arenas.
