Repulsion Armor



The Repulsion Armor is a item in Risk of Rain that reduces and reflects incoming damage by 83% for 3 seconds after the player sustains 6 hits.

Tactics

 * Don't take all your hits at once to active the armor, as you don't get your damage reduction all the time, only when the armor has taken the right amount of needed hits.
 * Try to hop in and out of groups to take hits and when it's active stand in the center, to reflect as much damage as possible.

Character Synergies

 * Works well with the Enforcer, as his shield can also block 100% of all damage coming from the front. This means at its max stacks of 5 for 3 seconds, you reduce all damage from the back by 83% and all damage from the front by 100% effectively making you a go tank for multiplayer.

Item Synergies

 * Works well with Tough Times, as when you get hit 6 times for the repulsion armor to kick in, you have a damage reduction of 99% for three seconds. If you want to maximize reflect damage, then Tough Times would reduce the reflection damage given to enemies.

Trivia

 * Repulsion Armor is one of the few items desiged by a kickstarter backer via backer rewards.
