Noita – The Timing and Determination of Wrap / Reload Explained
The Timing and Determination of Wrap / Reload
The determination for wrap occurs at any time when the deck is empty. If the following conditions are met, the spells in the discard pile are moved back to the deck, and it is marked (start_reload=true):
- There are still draws provided by spells available.
- The number of spells in the discard pile is not zero.
- Wand refresh has not been used.
The determination for reload occurs when the wand has completely exhausted its draws. As long as any of the following conditions are met, recharging begins:
- A wrap has already occurred once (start_reload=true).
- The number of spells in the deck is zero.
One thing to clarify
Spell wand refresh also wraps. So there’s 2 conditions for wrapping to occur:
- A spell tries to draw when the Deck is empty.
- Spell wand refresh gets cast.
Both do the same thing (move Discard to Deck and order Deck), but before wrapping spell wand refresh also moves Hand and Deck to Discard so all spells end up there.
As for reload
It only occurs when you reach the end of the Deck and there’s no more spells to be cast. When it does that it flips the reload flag and at the end of that wand cast the reload will start. Wrapping and reload are not directly related, but one of their causes will cause both things to happen.
