Reflect Wall Tank
Launch-week info, last checked . We update this page as patches and new data land.
B-tier tank pick
The reflect wall tank soaks damage by making it hard to land: it evades melee, deflects projectiles and sends 100% of the damage you take back at the attacker. It is the sturdy pick for boss fights and co-op front lines.

| Slot | Item | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Melee | Cacaphonous Cleaver | Each soul heals 7% of max health. Stay in the melee and you stay healthy. |
| Ranged | Shooting Star | A second 20% dodge source, layered on the vest. |
| Helmet | Woodsprite Crown | Keeps the Golem Kit companion alive longer, which extends the wall. |
| Chestplate | Twisted Warden Vest | The evade chance is the wall's first layer, before reflect and the totems come into play. |
| Leggings | Woodsprite Trunks | The core of the build: every hit that lands comes straight back at the attacker. |
| Boots | Mad Sifter Paws | Deflection covers the ranged gap that evade leaves open. |
| Artifact 1 | Warding Chimes (15s cooldown) | Toughens you for a bit. It is not invulnerability. |
| Artifact 2 | Totem of Shielding (15s cooldown) | A barrier that eats projectiles. Plant it near the wall. |
| Artifact 3 | Totem of Regeneration (27s cooldown) | Stand inside its radius so allies and the tank share one recovery zone. |
| Talisman 1 | Golem Kit | An extra body between you and the enemy line. |
| Talisman 2 | Healing Heart | Recovers you in the quiet moments between pulls, so the wall resets without potions. |
| Talisman 3 | Sigil of Beeswax | The plainest tank stat, and it makes every other defense last longer. |
| Enchant (Armor) | Health Synergy | Each artifact use is also a heal, so the rotation doubles as recovery. |
| Enchant (Armor) | Barrier Brew | The Fortifying well gives the whole group a defensive edge, so drink one as the boss winds up. |
| Enchant (Armor) | Ancient Alchemy | Potions do double duty: they heal and feed the soul bar, even at full health. |
| Enchant (Melee weapon) | Shadowcloak | Kills may turn you invisible, which resets a bad fight. |
How strong is the Reflect Wall Tank?
Why this grade: The defensive pieces are strong on paper, but no player has stress-tested them, and there is no confirmed taunt to hold attention. That keeps it at B until launch play confirms the numbers.

What does a fight look like with the Reflect Wall Tank?
Immovable front line. You stand where the enemies are and let evasion, deflection and reflect do the work, with totems and a soul-fed heal filling the gaps.
- Place the totems firstPut Totem of Shielding between you and the ranged enemies, then drop Totem of Regeneration behind you. Both are placed effects, so plant them before the pull.
- Hit the pack and stand thereWalk into melee and stay put. Evade, reflect and deflect are passive, so your job is to be the thing they hit.
- Warding Chimes on big hitsUse the chimes when a boss winds up or a group commits. It toughens you, so time it to the biggest incoming damage.
- Every cooldown healsHealth Synergy turns each artifact use into regeneration, so rotate the three artifacts even when they are not strictly needed.
- Reset with a killIf a fight is going badly, kill something to try for Shadowcloak, and drink a potion to gain souls and heal at once.
What are the Reflect Wall Tank's strengths and weak spots?
Strengths
- Three separate defensive layers: evade, deflect and reflect
- Heals on kills, potions and artifact use
- Protects a whole group with placed totems
- Good against bosses that hit hard in melee
Weaknesses
- No confirmed taunt, so enemies may attack your allies
- Low damage output, so fights run long
- Poison damage bypasses evade and deflect
Does the Reflect Wall Tank earn a spot in a party?
Front-line anchor. Take the boss's attention by standing closest and let teammates work from the side. Pairs well with a support player who can stack extra healing.
Which cheap gear stands in for the Reflect Wall Tank early?
| Slot | Early pick | Later | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chestplate | Protector Chestplate | Twisted Warden Vest | Protector pieces are plain armor available early and set the tank tone. |
| Artifact | Warding Chimes | Totem of Shielding | Chimes is the simple self-buff. Add totems as they drop. |
| Talisman | Sigil of Beeswax | Golem Kit | Max health first, golem later. |
Common questions on the Reflect Wall Tank
Does Reflect actually return all damage?
The listed effect says 100% of damage taken is reflected at attackers. We have not confirmed whether that covers every damage type, so treat it as strong but unproven.
Can a tank pull enemy attention in co-op?
No taunt is confirmed. Position yourself as the nearest target and rely on passive defenses.
Is poison a problem for this build?
Yes. Players call it the most brutal thing in the early game, and evade and deflect do not stop it. Bring a potion.
What is still unconfirmed on the Reflect Wall Tank?
- The 100% reflect on Woodsprite Trunks is a listed launch-data value and has not been tested against bosses.
- Warding Chimes' exact defensive value is not published.
What to open next after the Reflect Wall Tank
