Trivia

• The buff's name is able to change color which is based on item rarity. The buff increases in higher rarity depending on how much damage reduction the player has gained over the course of the buff's duration.
  • The buff starts with rarity at 0% damage reduction and then maxes out with rarity at 15% damage reduction.
