Shackles of the Wretched FAQs

How does the elemental ailment immunity mechanic work?

Each time you are affected by Chill, Freeze, Ignite, or Shock, you gain 6 seconds of immunity to that specific ailment. This does not prevent the initial effect, but it blocks further applications during the immunity window—ideal for builds that get hit once but want to avoid repeated ailment stacking.

Which builds can safely use curse reflection?

Builds with Hexproof, Curse Immunity, or curse-cleansing mechanics (e.g. Warding Flask, Sanctum modifiers, or specific ascendancies) can safely use Shackles without suffering from reflected curses. Alternatively, self-curse builds (e.g. Doedre's Elixir, Cast on Death setups) may intentionally exploit the reflection for synergy.

Does this item make you immune to ailments completely?

No. A common misconception is that Shackles prevent ailments entirely—they don't. You must first be affected by an ailment to trigger the 6-second immunity. This means you will still suffer the initial Chill, Freeze, Ignite, or Shock, but subsequent applications are blocked temporarily.

How does Shackles compare to traditional ailment immunity gear?

Unlike items that offer permanent immunity (e.g. Kaom's Roots for Freeze or Eye of Malice setups for Shock), Shackles offer reactive immunity—you gain protection only after being afflicted. This makes them more flexible in mapping or environments with frequent elemental hits, but less reliable in boss fights where ailments are rare but impactful.
