Emblem of Dread
“Increases melee damage by 100%”
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Emblem of Dread is an endgame melee accessory. Equipping it overrides your normal dash (Shield of Cthulhu, Solar Flare armor dash, etc.) with the accessory’s Gravity Dash. Three shield particles (red, blue, and purple) orbit the player on elliptical paths as the “gravity shield” visual.
“A sanctified angel veils your gaze, whispering eternal, saccharine lies"
"A blood-soaked butcher raises your twin blades, declaring that only slaughter brings glory"
"An azure dove pecks through your brow, mocking your insignificant struggle”
