Shell of Retribution

The Shell of Retribution is a defensive item that lets the player block the first attack that hits them, reducing the damage by 60% on a successful block. It is built around timing rather than sustained guarding, since the block only applies to the first incoming hit while the effect is active.

Using it consumes stamina, which is shown in the buffs list. A successful block empties the stamina bar, and the item can be used for about 2 seconds before stamina runs out. Stamina then regenerates from empty to full in about 3 seconds, but regeneration does not start immediately after blocking ends. There is a short delay before stamina begins to recover, and if all stamina is spent this delay becomes longer and prevents any stamina use again until stamina is fully restored.

• The item blocks the first hit that connects, not every hit during the duration.
• A successful block reduces incoming damage by 60%.
• Blocking fully drains stamina.
• After stamina is depleted, the item cannot be used again until stamina has completely recovered.
