Crystal Shell

Tooltip

The crystal reacts when struck, encasing the attacker in a shell that absorbs incoming damage and healing. Initially the shell can absorb up to 15% of max health in damage, but healing absorbed by the shell is added to this total, up to a cap of 75% of max health. The shell breaks when it cannot absorb any more damage.

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 69. Its base value is 4000000.
  2. Effect 2 is Dummy (effect type 3). Its base value is 15.

What it does
