The Kinetic Dampener is an item in Risk of Rain 2, added in the Alloyed Collective expansion.

The item increases the user's armor by 30 (+30 per stack) when they have a shield. Breaking the shield releases a stunning pulse which deals 100% damage, plus an amount equal to 100% (+10% per stack) of the user's max shield. This pulse applies the shock effect and not the standard stun effect, despite what the description may imply.

The explosion has a set radius of 12.5m, no damage fall off, and a Proc Coefficient of 1.0.

Notes

  • Shields cannot be healed by conventional means, and will only replenish after avoiding damage for 7 seconds.

Tips

  • Transcendence TranscendenceBgLunar.pngTranscendence.pngTranscendence
    Convert all your health into shield. Increase maximum health.

    Convert all but 1 health into regenerating shields. Gain 50% (+25% per stack) maximum health.
    is a good pairing with Kinetic Dampener. Although you won't be able to trigger the stunning pulse (unless you somehow manage to get to only 1 health), you effectively have a permanent increase to your armor.

A prototype fresh off the assembly line. Improves kinetic field stability by 581% - that's an increase of 58% over the previous model - and the modular construction allows you to attach it to any shield generator. New features include a brand new safety mechanism that channels shield power into an electromagnetic pulse in the event your shield is punctured. Let me know what the board thinks and we can get this into production ASAP.
