Blast Shower

The Blast Shower is an equipment in Risk of Rain 2, added in the Skills 2.0 update.

When activated, it removes any and all negative status effects from the user.

The equipment mostly explains itself. It cleanses any status effect the game deems "negative," including the frozen effect from Glacial Elite explosions, the from Blazing Elites, the  applied by explosive pots and, and even the vapplied by Malachite Elites, which is especially useful late game.

The Blast Shower also destroys all projectiles in a very small radius around the player, with emphasis on "very small." Removing incoming projectiles is very difficult, but it reliably clears bombs attached to the player by Overloading Elite attacks.

 * 20 Gestures will reduce the Blast Shower's cooldown to less than 0.5s, which is lower than the minimum cooldown of all skills. Cooldown recovery beyond this will only be beneficial when using items that can activate the Bands, such as.
 * The Blast Shower does not cleanse the permanent damage effect “curse” from Eclipse 8.
