The Shaped Glass is a lunar item in Risk of Rain 2.

The holder's base damage is doubled (x2 per stack), but in exchange, their total maximum health is halved (x0.5 per stack). Both these effects stack exponentially, meaning that stacking Shaped Glass will dramatically increase damage but reduce the holder's health to nearly nothing.

Notes

• The main drawback of Shaped Glass is the removal of one-shot protection, meaning the player is always in danger of dying from a single attack. Strong-hitting enemies like the Stone GolemStone Golem

  • This also means that any total damage items activated by these sources, such as AtG Missile Mk. 1AtG Missile Mk. 1

• Due to the limits of the floating-point number system, Shaped Glass has a stacking limit of 127. When holding 128 or more, the holder's health rounds to 0 and they immediately die.

Unstructured glass, from the heart of the [Moon]. Sung out, in ethereal wisps, over the course of 3 cycles. Pause.

We fold time into its material - twice. Our time and <his>. A cost <he> was willing us to pay. Folded and shaped, with a god's designs.
 
<He> wields it, in one of many great hands. The time we injected is unfolded in <his> grasp. Outputs quicken - muscles compress twice. Twice as many intentions. Twice the ordered complexities, folded upon themselves. Loops loop back onto [?] in pairs. Time dependent functions. Pause.

<He> sunders a construct into a thousand pieces.

But time is fair. Microtears begin to uncoil in pairs. Muscles begin to snap, twice as fast. The cost of folded time. But <he> has plenty of time.

Trivia

• Prior to the 1.0 Update, one-shot protection was unaffected by Shaped Glass, but now Shaped Glass removes the player's one-shot protection entirely.
• Obtaining Shaped Glass does not cause the player to take damage, despite the health bar's red animation.
• Shaped Glass may be based upon Rupert's Glass, a strange phenomena where a droplet shaped piece of glass is borderline invulnerable from one side, but absolutely vulnerable on the other.
• Dying while holding Shaped Glass results in a unique death animation, where the player's Survivor shatters into shards of glass. Additionally, the death message while holding Shaped Glass is unique, displaying "You have shattered into innumerable pieces."
  • This animation is identical to the one used when the player obliterates themself at the Obelisk in A Moment, Fractured. However, the character's model will ragdoll as if they died normally for a moment before shattering.
