Shadow Orb

Shadow Orb
The Shadow Orb is the off-hand item in the Shadow set. Although not nearly the best off-hand weapon, the Shadow Orb is arguably better than not having an off-hand item at all. It is commonly replaced for a Blighted Orb or Malicious Platelegs, as they tend to be better alternatives, albeit having lower tiers of thorns.

Stats
Although it takes 2 max health away (1 full heart) from the wearer, it provides them with thorns V, making it useful in tanking damage, as the Shadow Orb does not degrade.
