N'kuhana's Opinion

 is an item in Risk of Rain 2.

As the holder heals, the item stores 100% (+100% per stack) of the healing as a hidden value, dubbed "Soul Energy." When this value reaches 10% of the holder's maximum health, the player launches a homing skull that deals fixed damage equal to 25% of their maximum health with a proc coefficient of 0.2 within a 40m radius.

Tips

 * Items that increase max health (such as ) will cause the skulls to deal increased damage.
 * Since shields count as max health, will increase the skulls' damage by 50%. However, since percentage-based healing methods (such as ) do not take shields into account, these healing sources become ineffective.
 * Because this item's damage scales with max health instead of base damage, holding a halves the damage dealt by the skulls due to the health reduction. However, since fixed-amount healing (such as ) is unaffected by the max health reduction, the skulls will also fire twice as fast (since the fixed amount is now a larger percentage of max health). Percentage-based healing such as Bustling Fungus has reduced effectiveness while holding the Shaped Glass, so N'kuhana's Opinion is strictly worse while holding Shaped Glass if percentage-based healing is the player's primary healing method.
 * Although increasing the player's maximum health (whether through shields, leveling up, or Infusions) increases each skull's individual damage, it does not affect their overall damage output if the player is not using percentage-based healing. Increasing the maximum health value also means that the key 10% threshold is higher, so more healing must accumulate to fire each skull. When this is the case, fixed-amount healing becomes a lower percentage of maximum health and therefore slower to charge the skulls. If the player significantly augments their health without increasing their healing ability accordingly, their on-hit effects may suffer, as the skulls will be much stronger but activate much less often.
 * With a single, all healing becomes capped at 10% of the player's maximum health per second, making it a heal-over-time effect. This means that large bursts of healing will continue to fire skulls even after the initial healing effect would have otherwise ended. However, this also heavily restricts the fire rate of N'kuhana's Opinion (one skull per second, just 10% of the maximum fire rate), so players who can reliably and continuously heal themselves will most likely benefit more without the Corpsebloom.
 * Although the skulls do not use the Survivor's damage stat, they can still critically strike and are powered up by the, , and , when applicable.
 * This item can be extremely useful on, since with Bustling Fungus, his Turrets can trigger the skulls at a high rate and deal rapid damage at very long range.
 * excels with N'kuhana's Opinion, as their entire kit revolves around healing and life-steal. They will be able to activate this item very often.
 * performs extremely well with this item, since her skill heals a large portion of her maximum health and her health is much higher than any other Survivor's.
