For every 5 enemies killed, this item grants a buff that increases damage. This buff lasts as long as the player stays in combat.

Notes

  • Correction: The in-game description of +10% damage is incorrect. The damage boost does not scale with leveling and is only 6% damage at one item stack.
    • The damage boost is also always based on your level 1 damage. Not working like other items that increase your damage stat.
  • Unmentioned: Every buff grants an additional 1% damage per buff.


  • When picked up, the item displays a bright red counter on the player's body. The number on the counter increases with how many of this item's buffs you have.
    • The far left zero is not used at all. When you reach 100, the last digit will go underneath the graphic.
  • This item defines being in combat as constantly dealing damage.
    • Taking damage does not extend the duration of the buff.
  • When out of combat, you do not immediately lose all stacks of this item's buff, instead it is lost at a rate of 1 buff a frame.
    • This is more noticeable at extremely high counts of this buff.
    • Pausing the game does not prevent the loss of the buff.
