Strategy & Synergies
This item is a core component of "Thorns" or retaliation damage builds, which focus on damaging enemies by getting hit.
- It provides a consistent source of damage against enemies that manage to land a hit on you.
- To be effective, it requires a build with high health, armor, or regeneration to withstand incoming attacks.
- It synergizes perfectly with other Thorns-related items like Quin's Mask, which adds an explosive effect to Thorns damage.
