Prism

Prisms are special defensive items which can be selected by a player during the Preparation phase on the Character select screen.

General

The Prism gauge as seen below the character's HP bar.

Prisms passively create an auxiliary defensive layer that reduces the damage taken from enemy attacks by a flat amount; enemies will still inflict a minimum of 1 point of damage against the player regardless of the Prism's defense stats. Prisms have a set amount of hit points, which deplete each time the character takes damage. Once fully depleted, Prisms do not regenerate for the rest of the run. If the player has a shield, such as from Body Pillow, the Prism will reduce the damage taken to the shield. While active, the Prism is visible as a white gauge underneath the character's HP bar in the upper-left corner of the screen.

Acquisition

Prisms are crafted at Ckia's Forge in the Holo House. After a Prism is crafted, it can be selected on the Character preparation screen underneath the Support and Food Items. Players can also choose to not use a Prism if desired. Note that Prisms are permanent unlocks and will not be lost even if they are destroyed in a run.
