Mirrorheart Paradox
“In the mirror, it breaks a heartbeat before you do”
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Mirrorheart Paradox is one of the brutal relics. A mirrored heart drifts on your far side, about 7 tiles out. It is the swap landing and the echo muzzle. Hiding vanity does not remove it.
While the heart is solid, the moment you take damage you swap places with it, dodge the hit, and gain brief invulnerability. Heartbeat pulses burst at both spots for 90 base damage and confuse enemies for about 2.5 seconds. If the heart is stuck in a wall, you only dodge. You do not move.
For 5 seconds after a swap, shots you fire are echoed from the heart at 50% damage. Minions, held-style weapons, whips, and explosives are not echoed.
The next hit you take within 3 seconds of a swap deals 25% more damage, then the penalty ends. Swaps happen at most once every 25 seconds. The heart stays translucent while it recharges. You hear it when it turns solid again.
