Effects
20 Base Damage

Vital Crystal is a Repro-type augment. When obtained, it trails behind the user. If the user is at or above 80% health, it will launch a purple crystal at a enemy within a large radius of itself every 2 seconds. Each crystal has a base damage of 20, increasing by 0.2 for every point of maximum health the user has above their starting amount.

Picking up more than one Vital Crystal raises its level by 1, increasing the base damage of the purple crystals by 10 and decreasing the health needed for the repro to activate by a subtractive 20%, activating at any health level at level 5 and above. With the Zookeeper's Set Bonus active, its attack speed is doubled.

Interactions

• The damage dealt by Vital Crystal is not affected by Counterstrike, Kinetic Destructor, or Rage Circuit.
• Vital Crystal as well as all other attacking Repros only receive half the normal benefit of non-multiplicative global damage boosts such as Shield Bash.

Trivia

• Vital Crystal's appearance appears to be based on the Crystal Elementals from Echocave.
• When the player's health is too low for Vital Crystal to activate, its eyes will appear closed.
