Ghost Skin

#Overview

Ghost Skin is a Rare item that adds 0.05 dodge points per copy. Dodge points become a dodge chance through the curve x / (1 + x) (Stats). One Ghost Skin alone gives 4.8%. A successful dodge cancels the whole hit, not just part of it.

It has weight 6 out of 53 among Rare items, about 1.1% of item rolls at luck 0. Copies stack with no cap. It has no evolution.

#How it works

Dodge points add to Thick Skin (0.05 per level) before the curve is applied, so each extra point is worth a little less than the one before. Maxed Thick Skin gives 0.25 points (20% dodge). Adding one Ghost Skin takes that to 0.30 points (23.1%). Dodge does not work against biome terrain or hazard pool damage (Stats).

Measured (build 41 main-B2gf34bA.js, headless tools/play.mjs, standard mode, normal difficulty; copies added with giveItem): the game's evasion stat read 0.0476, 0.0909 and 0.1304 for 1 to 3 copies (seed wiki). In play, with one copy, warp(240), HP refilled every tick, Tibo standing still and later level-ups taking the first offer, 200 of 4,015 dodge rolls succeeded over 600 s on seeds s1–s3 (4.98%, expected 4.76%).

#Tips

• Unlike armor, dodge does not lose value as enemies level up over the run. Ghost Skin's 4.8% stays 4.8%, while the 10 armor from Baked Buckler drops from blocking 17% of a hit at 0:00 to 6% at 20:00.

#Stat changes

#Obtaining

• Items come from points of interest such as the Fry Cart vendor, Potato Crates, the Microwave and Tater Slots, and from loot runners (Golden Scarab, Lost Saucer). Ordinary chests never give a new item; they can only evolve one you already hold. Rarity weights: Common 59, Uncommon 25, Rare 10, Epic 4, Legendary 2.
