Brittle Crown

The Brittle Crown is a new item in Risk of Rain 2. The chance to gain gold when damaging enemies is affected by the Proc Coefficient. The amount of Gold gained is also affected by the Difficulty Coefficient.

The Engineer's Turrets are affected by Brittle Crown, but gain and lose gold independently from the player. As Engineer Turrets cannot use gold, this makes crown nearly useless for them.

Math
The formula for gold earned is:

C = Amount of Brittle Crowns

D = Difficulty Coefficient

Shrine of Blood
The Brittle Crown has a unique interaction with the Shrine of blood.


 * The amount of gold earned is not added to the total amount of gold when calculating gold lost.
 * If the player has 100 health, 100 gold and one brittle crown, using the Shrine of blood for the first time will leave them with 75 gold.
 * Taking 50% damage, you lose 50% of you gold, leaving you with 50 gold. The shrine always gives 50% of the health take as gold, so you'd gain 25 gold
 * Due to the fact that the brittle crown does not count shields as your health, if you only lose shields when using the shrine you will not lose any gold.
 * If the player has 100 health, 13 Personal Shield Generators (giving them an additional 104 shields), 100 gold, and 1 brittle crown, using a shrine of blood for the first time will leave them with 151 gold as would be expected if the player had 204 health.
 * The shrine of blood includes shields as part of the players health, so it would take away 102 health from the total of 204 giving 50% of 102 back to the player as gold. Since the damage did not take away any health, the negative effect of the crown did not proc.
 * This does not apply to Transcendence as it counts those shields as your actual health.
