Alien Head



The Alien Head is a item in Risk of Rain that reduces the player's skill cooldowns. The item stacks oddly; the first one is 30%, the second is 51%, and the third is 60%. (Caps at 3)

Item Synergies

 * Good to use with Wicked Ring and an item that increases critical chance such as Lens Maker's Glasses or Snake Eyes, as the Wicked Ring will quickly decrease the already lowered cooldowns.

Character Synergies

 * Exceptionally useful when playing as the Mercenary, who begins with very short cooldowns for almost all of his attacks. Having the Alien Head makes sustained combat using dashes and Eviscerate possible without relying on the Mercenary's comparatively weak primary attack.


 * Loader can stack Alien Head to make his Debris Shield cooldown decreased to the point that the Debris Shield can be used continuously. This is an incredibly powerful combination as it effectively makes the character totally invincible as long as the ability is being used.

Trivia

 * Alien Head stacks multiplicatively and is capped which results in rather odd values. (30%, 51%, 60%)
 * The item description says it reduces cooldown by 25%, not 30%.
 * When held, black particles resembling flies follow the character.ra
