This website will use a lot of terminology that is common in the Throne community but may be confusing to people outside of it.
The lingo page is one of the most subjective pages on the website, the purpose of this page is to help those new in the community to understand what's being said on the website or when entering the community.
The table of contents is as follows;
- Common Terminology, which is general terms seen for a run.
- Mutation Abbreviations, which mentions a few mutations and ultras.
- Most mutations do not have commonly used abbreviations, as players opt to just shorten them to one word instead. (Example Trigger Fingers is just 'trigs', or Scarier Face is just 'face').
- Weapon Abbreviations, which mentions most meta weapons, or weapons of significant relevance.
- Meta Terminology, which is used for many terms around late game play.

| Meta Terminlogy | |
|---|---|
| Meta | Gaming term that stands for 'most efficient tactical advantage', used for set naming that gives the most likely chances at success. |
| P7 / P8 / P9 | Refers to a Perfect 7/8/9, which is the number of meta mutations in a set. |
| iframes | Gaming term that's short for 'invincibility frames', which can help the player avoid taking too much damage at once but also can work in advantage to enemies. (link later) |
| Hotswapping | Refers to quickly swapping a primary held weapon with one on the ground, and then swapping them back. This will reset weapon cooldowns, which is much faster for weapons that have a higher reload time. |
| allskills/grillskills | Popular mods that remove any mutation rng by letting the player pick any mutation. Grillskills is the more commonly used choice, grilling referring to the 'I just want to grill' meme. |
| paw9/plutopaw/pawmach | Popular mutation combinations into their naming; a perfect 9 with paw, plutonium hunger and rabbit paw, rabbit paw and second stomach |
| double damage | A set that uses two damage mutations, commonly Scarier Face and Laser Brain, though could also include Plant's thronebutt. (All three would be triple damage) |
| Scout | Those that contribute to the daily scouting sheet, they're scouting out sets for other players benefit. |
