Relics Guide: Mantles and Defensive Relics
guide
Several of the most useful relics are defensive mantles and charms that keep you alive. This guide covers what each one does, based on its in-game ability description.
Mantles
Ghostly Mantle — leaves mist behind you while moving; targets in the mist lose air, and looking at you builds charges that reduce their effectiveness. It can also cancel lethal damage, sending you into spectral flight with a period of immortality.
Leafy Mantle — lets you move freely through tree leaves and prevents fall damage when you land on them, healing you while inside foliage; on fatal damage it protects you from death by absorbing nearby leaves.- Midnight Mantle — grants damage and attack-speed bonuses whose strength tracks the Moon phase, with health and regeneration bonuses at other phases, and cloaks you in invisibility in low light.
Glitchy Mantle — gives incoming attacks a chance to miss entirely and periodically leaves a glitchy copy of you that disrupts nearby targets on contact.
Defensive charms
Jellyfish Necklace — raises maximum health and regeneration while you are in liquid or rain, and accumulates electric-arc charges that discharge into things you touch.
Reflective Necklace — on taking damage, has a chance to store some of it in an orb and reflect it back when you next attack.
Shield of Retaliation — holding to guard opens a parry window that blocks damage from sources in front of you.
Because relic stats are randomized and level up, the exact values differ per copy — research and upgrade each mantle to see its full numbers in game.
