In Kingdom Forge, there were certain items that most players dismissed as ordinary, yet for specific classes, they were as valuable as legendary relics.
Take, for example, the epic-quality item Evelyn had just drawn: the Heart of Defiance.

At first glance, its attributes weren't much better than those of a rare-quality ring of the same level. But the stun effect was a game-changer. Paladins, notorious for their sluggishness, suddenly had access to a ranged stun. Combined with Reprimand, the synergy was brutal.
Yet the true power of the Heart of Defiance lay in one deceptively simple line: Reflects 22 Holy damage when attacked.
