# Tears of Metal Wiki

> Unofficial wiki for Tears of Metal (Paper Cult, Steam Early Access since 2026-07-22). Every number on this site is extracted directly from the game's own data files — not from trailers, preview footage or hands-on impressions. Current data build: EA 1.0 (2026-07-22), extracted 2026-07-23.

## What makes this source different

Values here come from the game's designer tables and localization packs, decoded and joined by an open pipeline. Emblem descriptions have their in-game placeholders (`|ATTACK|`, `#HeatedStackSize#`) resolved into real numbers. Where a value could not be resolved, the placeholder is left visible rather than guessed — so a missing number is always visibly missing, never silently invented.

Coverage: 174 emblems (105 with full per-level values), 7 released clan families, 98 unlock conditions, 74 units. Site languages: en, zh.

Note: the demo build shipped an eighth clan that is absent from Early Access. Its stat tables still exist in the files but it has no emblems. Guides listing eight playable clans for Early Access are describing the demo.
