What Diamond Body Does
Diamond Body is the top of the standard defensive ladder:
Defense +30% plus flinch and knockback immunity. The immunities matter as much as the number — the
Pal can't be staggered out of attacks or shoved around by heavy hits, which keeps its damage output flowing in boss
fights. Below it sit
Burly Body
(+20%, flinch only) and
Heavyweight
(+20%, knockback only); above it, only the conditional World Tree
tank passive
Sanctified Meat Shield
.
It's the classic pairing for glass-cannon passives like
Twin-Edged Holy Blade
,
cancelling most of the defense loss in one slot.
How to Get It
There are two routes. It occasionally rolls on wild Pals, but as a rare-weight passive it's roughly 20× less likely
than a common one. The reliable route is
Disposable Implant: Diamond Body
, applied at
the
Pal Surgery Table
— the surgery is free, but
the implant is consumed.
The implant comes from the
Ancient Relic Recycler
: every recycled
Ancient Relic of any grade rolls one disposable implant from a 16-implant pool, so Diamond Body lands at
6.25% per recycle. Spend it only on a finished Pal. See the
Ancient Relics guide and the
implants guide for details.
