Emotes
Emotes are small, temporary, animated sprites that appear inside chat bubbles above an entity. They can be used by players, town NPCs, and enemies.
Usage
Players
The Emotes Window allows players to easily use any unlocked emote. Most emotes are unlocked by default, however, some require their associated boss or event to be defeated.
The Emotes Window can be accessed by pressing
to the bottom right of the inventory.
The Emotes Window can be accessed by pressing
in the
chat menu.
Players can also emote via chat commands. There is an associated command for all emotes, which can be used regardless if it has been unlocked in the Emotes Window.
Additionally:
- Lucy the Axe(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) causes the player to use "Lucy the Axe" whenever it talks.
- Hunger(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) causes the player to use either "Peckish", "Hungry", or "Starving" when it progresses to the next stage.
Town NPCs
Non-pet town NPCs will randomly emote. While the choice of emote may seem random, it is actually affected by their environment: This content is transcluded from NPCs/emotes.
