The Alien Head is a returning item in Risk of Rain 2.

A player holding the Alien Head has all their skill cooldowns reduced by 25% (+25% per stack).

Notes

  • The cooldown reduction from the Alien Head is calculated before the flat reduction from the Purity.png PurityBgLunar.pngPurity.pngPurity
    Reduce your skill cooldowns by 2 seconds. You are unlucky.

    All skill cooldowns are reduced by 2 (+1 per stack) seconds. All random effects are rolled +1 (+1 per stack) times for an unfavorable outcome.
    . For instance, if a player holds 1 Alien Head and 1 Purity, a skill that would normally take 4 seconds to cool down would instead have a 1 second cooldown (-1 second from the Alien Head, then -2 seconds from the Purity).

Math

The skill cooldown is determined by the formula cooldown ⋅ 0.75 ^ amount
