Warped Echo is an item introduced in the Seekers of the Storm DLC.

Whenever the holder takes damage, 50% of the incoming damage is dealt immediately and the other 50% after 3 seconds. Each stack adds another instance of damage that can be split, with each instance having a 10-second cooldown.

  Damage: 16 (+3.2 per level)
  Class: Melee / Ranged

  Armor: 20 sometimes becomes invincible when stealing this item.
• Bug: The incoming damage is halved only after any damage has been applied to barrier and shields. This has two unintended consequences if the damage only touches barrier and shields but is not enough to reduce health:
  • The full damage is dealt in the first half and the second half does zero damage.
  • The player is not taken out of combat as the damage reported is the amount of damage applied to health. This is only the case if the player has any stacks of Warped Echo to halve damage since that's the only occasion where the damage reported can be misrepresented. This makes items like TranscendenceTranscendence

• Warped Echo does not halve any delayed damage.
• If the original damage triggers One-Shot Protection (OSP), this damage is capped to 90% before being halved by Warped Echo. Therefore, there is no issue where the damage being split into two instances would have overriden OSP.

  • However, if the original damage is not blocked, these items have an opportunity to block the delayed damage, effectively creating a powerful synergy with Warped Echo.
• The delayed damage does not carry any information from the original hit except from it being non-lethal, e.g., fall damage. As such, status effects are not reinflicted with the delayed damage.
  • The delayed damage also ignores armor, so items like Repulsion Armor PlateRepulsion Armor Plate

However, the delayed damage inflicts additional stacks, making this item a serious anti-synergy for this game mode. It is unclear whether this is a bug or intended.

Tips

• This item has great synergy with items, equipment, and skills that heal, since the player can react before any delayed damage is applied if it would have been lethal otherwise.

Due to the flat 20 heal of Medkits in lower levels even fewer than 3 stacks will suffice for this.

- A smooth circle, cold to the touch. I probably shouldn’t have touched it.
- Using kinetic gloves, I’ll chisel a piece of the large dark polished ’crystal’ for testing.
- No use. heavy equipment can’t get the crystal to fracture
- I resentfully observe it intact under a powerful microscope.
- Despite it’s structured form, compound seems organically created and new to our databases.
- Carbon indicates this pre-dates the Europan ocean. Barely.
- My assistant Claire claps me on the back before heading to lunch, I barely feel it.
- Later I felt an impact on my back in the same spot she touched me.
- Finally, a breakthrough. We grin like wolves.
Claire brings her lunch into the lab (not recommended, but delicious).
I was about to send this boring thing off to Kosta for appraisal, but now we have work to do.
