Permanent Buffs, also called
Golden Statue Buffs, are randomly selected stat increases that last for the rest of the match, including through
death. Their strength depends on when they are received: level 1 before 10 minutes, level 2 from 10 minutes and level 3 from 30 minutes.
Buff Container bonuses can be inspected by hovering over the relevant Weapon, Spirit or Vitality statistic in the lower-left UI.
Values and distribution
| Stat | Level 1 (0 min) | Level 2 (10 min) | Level 3 (30 min) |
|---|---|---|---|
| +1.5% | +2% | +2.5% | |
| Max |
+3% | +5% | +7% |
| Cooldown Reduction | +0.5% | +0.75% | +1% |
| +3% | +4% | +6% | |

+15 | +20 | +30 |
| +2 | +3 | +4 | |

Each standard type has a 10% nominal drop rate;
Health has 20%, and
Move Speed and
Ability Range 5% each. A pseudo-random distribution reduces the chance of repeating a buff and considers buffs received from all sources. For
Golden Statues it counts buffs spawned by the player’s broken statues even when left uncollected, so leaving a drop behind does not manipulate the distribution.
