Remnant 2 Blood Bond Notes & Trivia

  • The Damage mitigated is evenly split among your Summons. Having more Summons doesn't increase the damage mitigation.
  • This instance of damage reduction is multiplicative with your total damage reduction.

 

  • Traits are unique passive abilities that provide bonuses and buffs to a player. There are three types of Traits in the game. 
  • Core Traits are common for all four Classes, and are unlocked as soon as you begin the game.
  • Archetype or Class Traits, are locked behind their respective Archetypes, and only one can be equipped one at a time, unless you have the ability to combine any two of your Archetypes.
  • The third type, called simply Traits can be equipped by any Class, but have to be unlocked. Unique Archetype Traits can be leveled up as you level up the corresponding Archetype. On the other hand, the rest require Trait Points in order to be upgraded. Note that they cap at level 10.

      In practice it functions almost exactly like Barkskin but with the added condition of requiring minions. More minions does not mean more absorption; the game simply takes the damage you would take and splits it up more amongst the minions you do have up until it all adds up to the 10% extra DR.

      And similar to the other flat DR sources like Barkskin, the more baseline DR you have from stuff like Armor, the lesser the bonus you get from other flat DR sources, since all DR is bundled together multiplicatively.

      In other words if you have 10 points to spend, just lump it in Barkskin.

      These trait needs to get a buff to either be a higher value (like 15%-20%) or have it get more benefits the more number of summons you have. As it stands it is simply not worth it and you in fact nets you an extra worry about your minions dying quicker.

        alrdy wasted 10 trait points with a build which has "only" 68% dr.
        100 dmg hit will be 32 dmg after DR.
        with blood bond that 32 will befurther reduced to 28.8 rounded to 29 dmg.
        if u would want to get 29 dmg straight u need 71,2% DR.
        so those 10 trait points give u 3% dr even with that "low" dr value.
        if ur going for 80 its becoming even worse.

          Just tested, this trait distributes 10% of damage taken (after DR) evenly among your summons. More summons does not equal more damage absorption.

            I have tried it with a friend, if he spears me, I take 12 and my dog takes 1, then heals immediately, so it seems to work for the dog.

              Just so everyone here is aware: THIS TRAIT IS NOT GOOD FOR HIGH DR BUILDS

              It doesn't give you DR, it just directs 10% of the damage you take to your summons, so if you have 75% DR like me, your summons will effectively be giving you 2.5% damage resistance.

                So if you built a 80% DR tank, and used this for a 10% reduction after it already is reduced by 80%, then theoretically it would reduce damage beyond the 80% limit?

                  never feels like this is working, been rocking an Engineer and Summoner with the big summon and I maxed out the big guy's health with Rugged lvl10 butI can't ever tell if its absorbing my damage I take. Does my summon have too much health and I just can't see it?

                    If you have multiple summons, is that at max rank 10% per summon? So if I have my dog and 2 Hollows would that be 30% of my damage taken absorbed and given to my summons?
