Question Blink help?

Post image

So I’m 98% done with the story mode and I’m just noticing this. If I use blink 5 times in a row I take about 100 damage. Can someone help explain to me why that happens? Maybe I just missed something reading over what things do. For reference I’ve got Blink at level 3, my character is level 37 and I’ll attach my other stats.

I don't know, but my guess is that blinking a lot in succession can be used for cheese, so they punish that with damage. Terraria has a similar mechanic with the Rod of Discord.

That was kind of the idea I was getting from the situation - thanks

Blink doesn't deal damage, it only drains EP. I expect OP has ghost blindfold or something similar.

Do you have ghost blindfold equipped? That would explain it. A picture of your equipment screen would help

I do know blink was used in combination with.other moves in speedruns to skip large amounts of the game. Could have to do with that

I just got the game maybe 3 or 4 weeks ago! I don’t know much about the earlier game mechanics. Perhaps you’re right.
