 * The Repulsion Armor Plate pairs well with the, since the Planula's healing triggers when damaged and the Armor Plate reduces that damage taken. It's possible to gain health rapidly when attacked with rapid and weak damage.
 * Both the Armor Plate and Planula fall off in effectiveness as the difficulty increases, however.
