Joostmod/X-Shield

The X-Shield is a Post-Moon Lord accessory obtained from the SA-X's treasure bag in Expert Mode. While equipped, the shield periodically spawns X Parasites around the player which attack enemies automatically. The X inflicts an Infected debuff which deals damage over time and spawns more X when the victim dies.

The debuff's secondary effect depends on the X's color.


 * Red parasites cause the target to drop hearts, at a rate that scales with the player's ranged damage bonuses.
 * Green parasites cause the target to drop an energy orb which scales with the player's throwing damage bonuses.
 * Blue parasites cause the target to drop mana stars, at a rate that scales with the player's magic damage bonuses.
 * Yellow parasites cause the target to drop more money which scales with the player's melee damage bonuses.

The X-Shield also grants the holder +10 defense, as well as immunity to knockback and all four Infected debuffs from enemy X-Parasites.
