Amulet of reflection
Version 0.23: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
An amulet which exerts a force that blocks some incoming attacks, and can even reflect any blocked ranged attacks back towards the attacker. |
Wearing an amulet of reflection provides a variable amount of SH, from 1 to 6, depending on its enchantment. When projectiles are blocked, they are reflected, as when wearing a shield with the reflection ego.
Strategy
Players with high SH from shields and some uncommon mutations benefit the most, but these amulets are surprisingly helpful for anyone, especially amulets with high enchantments. They can make packs of centaurs and yaktaurs much less threatening, and can potentially cause significant reciprocal harm by reflecting missiles back at their sources.
The unrandart Brooch of Shielding functions as an improved version of an amulet of reflection, but is not guaranteed to spawn in a game.
History
- In 0.25, amulets of reflection will always provide +5 SH and will require attunement at full HP.
- The amulet of reflection was added in 0.18.
