==Strategy==
Players with high [[SH]] from [[shield]]s (or other effects) gain the most from reflection, but any character will appreciate the defense boost. In particular, reflection is great against ranged attackers like [[centaur]]s and [[yaktaur]]s, as it reflects their high-damage projectiles back at them. Low SH characters may prefer a different amulet, but reflection is still a good option.
+
An amulet of reflection grants +5 SH, a fairly strong bonus to your defense. Unlike other amulets, the SH bonus is consistent: it doesn't wear off like [[acrobat]], or require MP as with [[guardian spirit]]. Therefore, it is a strong option for just about any character.
  
The [[unrandart]] [[Brooch of Shielding]] provides even more [[SH]] than an amulet of reflection, but has the [[spirit shield]] ego instead.
+
The ability to reflect projectiles can be useful, particularly against ranged enemies like [[centaur (monster)|centaurs]] and [[yaktaur]]s. However, it is a relatively minor perk compared to the SH bonus. Players with higher SH (from [[shield]]s or other sources) will block more often, so will reflect projectiles more often.

Icon Amulet of reflection.png
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 5 SH and the reflection ego. When projectiles (either ranged weapons or certain types of spells like Stone Arrow) are blocked, they are always reflected back at the attacker.

Strategy

An amulet of reflection grants +5 SH, a fairly strong bonus to your defense. Unlike other amulets, the SH bonus is consistent: it doesn't wear off like acrobat, or require MP as with guardian spirit. Therefore, it is a strong option for just about any character.

The ability to reflect projectiles can be useful, particularly against ranged enemies like centaurs and yaktaurs. However, it is a relatively minor perk compared to the SH bonus. Players with higher SH (from shields or other sources) will block more often, so will reflect projectiles more often.

History

  • Prior to 0.26, in order to function, the amulet had to attune itself to the wearer at full health.
  • Prior to 0.25, amulets of reflection provided 2 to 6 SH and did not require attunement at full HP.
  • The amulet of reflection was added in 0.18.
