Rating: | Power (3/4): A dual reflector for two arguably easy to spam icons is a godsend for advanced setups. It is a pity that it is only 50% for both of them, though. Price (3/4): It has a ridiculously low price considering what it does. However, with the sudden price decrease of Kings Lens, you might be better off buying that one instead. Other (0/2): Nothing much more to add. Alternatives: As mentioned earlier, Kings Lens should be your go to, especially considering that this is technically an advanced weapon. If that feels like too much money, Pretty Negg Shield blocks more but reflects less, which may not be ideal. There's also Pirate Captains Hat, which swaps reflecting with full blocking and some cheeky extra defense, but being semi-fragile makes it unrealible in the long run. Rated on September 30, 2025 |

Rating: | Recommended for: Intermediate Battlers Price at Time of Rating: 500m-1m; in flux and will update once settled This lens is a rare prize from visiting Coltzan's Shrine. Strengths: This offers a decent 50% reflection of two icons, which can come in handy against strong opponents or potential plot bosses. Weaknesses: You'd likely be using this against a very strong opponent, so there's still a hefty 50% of each icon that you may need to block with another weapon. Alternatives: Pirate Captains Hat fully blocks both earth and light icons, and some fire icons, but has the weakness of being semi-fragile (a chance of breaking for the remainder of the battle). Pretty Negg Shield offers 60% defense and 20% reflection of the same two icons, so it's better for defense though weaker for offense, with more total coverage. Significantly more expensive reflector alternatives include Kings Lens, Ultra Dual Shovel, and Superior Reflection Shield. 100% light blockers include Parasol of Unfortunate Demise, Jhudoras Bewitched Ring, Hubrid Nox Memorial Shield, and Dr. Sloths Personal Body Armour. 100% earth blockers include Illusens Silver Shield and Shield of Pion Troect.

Rating: | Price/Power (5/5) Honestly for 50k this power is fairly great, half a Pirate Captains Hat with none of the mess. Countermeasures (3/5) The only issue I see here is that there are few items that will actually work out fully against this lens. Best case is the Seasonal Attack Pea- but when was the last time you saw one of those but still couldn't afford a Pirate Captains Hat? You may however run into Blazing Embers or Sword of Malum- but even then you are only looking at a few total icons being blocked. The counter is good, but it isn't great. Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades While the Kings lens would likely love to get prime slot here due to its third icon type, currently its price is still much higher than this. You'd be better off just going for the aforementioned Pirate Captains Hat instead. Other Points Final Thoughts Not bad, prices have dropped but honestly its utility is still limited.

Rating: | At a Glance (2/3): Reflects 50% of 2 elements: light, and earth. Cannot use two at once, though that's not really an issue. In-Depth (2/4): This has the utility of both Shovel Plus and Expert Lens. Numerically speaking, it's like Pirate Captains Hat, but without the fire defense, the semi-fragility (you would break even with either weapon if you got hit with earth and/or light), and the price. But like the other two reflectors above, you will be faced with the same limitations: the difficulty to win against mass earth constants, and the potential redundancy for the defense of a rarely utilized element. Price (1/2): I can never keep up with the price of this thing. It's worth less than it currently is at the moment, and it will stay that way for awhile as long as people try to keep the price up (even though supply will eventually get the better of them). I personally think its worth ~500k-700k, no more than 1 mil. Bonus (1/1): I find it really ironic that it's better than Princely Lens... I also find it ironic that having one less element from Kings Lens constitutes a price drop of ~39-49m (it does make quite a difference though!). Final Score: 6/10 Rated on September 27, 2013 |
