Melting Ice Armor

Melting Ice Armor

A one-time bodyguard: it absorbs the next hit you would take, then breaks itself and leaves you a small chunk of armor. Useful insurance in the early game or as fuel for shatter-synergy relics, but it does nothing for your damage and the protection only fires once.

Quick answer

PICK IT WHEN

Take it when survival or consistency is the reason the run ends. The survival, safe, dismantle signals describe the kind of problem it is meant to solve.

WATCH OUT

Do not spend a damage slot on it when the run is already safe and a core engine pick is available.
