Aegis

The  is an item introduced in the Scorched Acres Update.

If the holder receives healing while their health is full, they gain barriers equal to 50% (+50% per stack) of the healed amount.

Tips

 * This item can be used to remove the downside that comes with the and, which normally make all healing items entirely worthless by changing the player's health into shields.
 * This does not work with percentage-based healing like, since the Transcendence and Shared Design reduce the Fungus's healing to almost nothing.


 * A critical-oriented healing build with can allow for easy barrier accumulation.
 * Once the player has accumulated enough proc items to cause a chain reaction, including on-hit healing items like Harvester's Scythe and Leeching Seed, one single hit can yield a massive burst of incoming healing, thereby making the barrier uptime trivial.
 * Because of how frequently ticks, it is barely not enough to counteract the barrier decay with 2 stacks. But with 3+ stacks, there will be a positive accumulation of barrier.Similarly, 4 or more stacks of  also has the same positive effect.
 * For optimal barrier gain in conjunction with, the amount of Aegis and Rejuvenation Racks should be equal, with Aegis taking priority. Optionally, the amount of Aegis can be two higher (but not three) than the amount of Rejuvenation Racks, instead of equal.
