Notes

• The 50% shield is gained when picking up the Silence Between Two Strikes, regardless of the player's current health. For instance, while a player at full health will immediately lose half of their health and have it replaced with shields, a player at 1 health out of 300 total will simply gain 150 shield points instantly.
• While this equipment gives an effective 50% boost to damage output, converting half of the holder's health into shields can be a nuisance. Shields cannot be healed through normal means and only replenish after avoiding damage for 7 seconds, so players who take damage frequently will virtually always be at half health.
  • This is very important to keep in mind while playing as REXREXREX is a half robot / half plant that uses HP to cast devastating skills from a distance. The plant nor the robot could survive this planet alone – but thankfully they have each other.
