What Is It?
A totem-slot defensive item that converts frontal incoming damage into health. It's not a weapon: your attacks don't change, you just take hits from the front better. Side and rear attacks get nothing.
- Type: Totem / Quality: 5
- Drop: 20% from Goofy Goose (works on vanilla maps too) / Dingdang's Shop (Affinity 5, stock 1)
- Protected from death drops while equipped in its slot; not protected merely by being in the backpack
Stat Bonus
- Body Armor: +3
Frontal Absorption (Passive)
When hit from the front (±60° arc measured from the direction you are currently aiming):
- Recover 30% of the damage taken as HP
- Capped at 25 HP per trigger and your maximum health
- Maximum once every 0.5 seconds
Damage is taken before the refund; a lethal hit cannot be rescued by this healing. Side and rear attacks do not trigger the healing. The check uses the direction your character is actually facing (the same direction you aim), not the direction you are moving. When something is chasing you, turn and face it.
What It Looks Like
A successful frontal absorb flashes a pale blue shield ring in front of you with a metallic chime and a green number showing the actual HP restored. Side and rear hits produce nothing. No ring means no absorb, which is the fastest way to tell whether you were facing the attacker.
Tips
- Against one attacker in front of you, qualifying hits refund 30% of damage; the 25 HP cap and 0.5 s cooldown still apply
- Nearly worthless when surrounded, since only hits from your front count. Positioning matters
- Totem slot means it stacks with any melee weapon you're already using
- Pairs well with builds that naturally face enemies head-on (Dragon sets, aggressive melee)
