Official docs don’t list rarities. Community databases typically label Mirror as Rare. We avoid asserting rarity until officially documented.
Mirror is a defensive item that turns enemy aggression against them: when you’re hit, you reflect the incoming damage and gain a brief invulnerability window (“I-frames”). This helps you push through dense waves or survive sudden bursts. If you’re new to items, check the full Items database for context and comparisons.
Past “near-immortal” interactions (e.g., Kevin + Mirror i-frame abuse) were fixed in v1.0.7 and follow-up hotfixes. The combo remains playable, just no longer game-breaking.
Emits a shock when you take damage — Mirror’s I-frames let you punish hits safely.
Adds lightning strikes on hit (cooldowned). Works well when occasional hits are unavoidable.
Thorns/armor-based retaliation complements reflect for passive wave clear.
Historically infamous; after 1.0.7 it’s balanced but still viable for retaliation-style builds. Ensure you have healing/regen before attempting.
Use Mirror to punish enemies safely. Then layer in on-damage procs and sustain to scale.
