Lua error in Module:Item2 at line 2599: No results found for item using search term "item_name_exact = Elegant Round Shield".
The Oppressor is a unique Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Elegant Round Shield".
Mechanics
The You take 20% of Damage from Blocked Hits modifier is additive with similar modifiers found on Glancing Blows and Ritual basetypes like Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Brimstone Treads".
Other than taking damage from the hit, the mechanics of block are unchanged. A blocked hit still cannot apply on-hit effects, such as ailments or curses. The chance to play the block animation is based on the full damage of the hit.
By default, you take 0% of the damage from blocked hits. Glancing Blows makes you take 65% of that damage. The Implicit modifier on Basemetal Treads, Darksteel Treads or Brimstone Treads, and the explicit modifier on The Oppressor, makes you take 20% of the damage of blocked hits. If you have at least one of these, you'll take 85% of the damage of blocked hits.[1] With all three sources, you will take 105% of the blocked hit, or 5% more damage than you would have taken if it was not blocked.
Lua error in Module:Item_acquisition at line 423: Item search result unexpectedly has no name.
Design attribution
The art for the Oppressor was created by Grinding Gear Games senior concept/3D artist, Dane Brennand.[2][3] Brennand also created the art for Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = The Squire", though he described the Oppressor as the "cooler shield" visually, without knowing the item's stats.[4]
Trivia
The Oppressor and Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = The Squire" were the first unique Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Elegant Round Shield" to be added to the game in version 3.16.0. One day before the release of the version 3.16.0 update, the community team at Grinding Gear Games posted a teaser of the Oppressor on the Path of Exile subreddit, titled Trash to Trash—a play on words of Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Trash to Treasure".[5] When one redditor made a comment about how seemingly lackluster the Oppressor is, Chris Wilson replied stating that "[The Oppressor] is amazing at doing what it's supposed to do".[6] Although it was never explicitly stated, there is a strong implication that the developers included the Oppressor in the version 3.16.0 update in order to prevent players from deterministically acquiring the Squire. Without the existence of the Oppressor, the Squire would be the only possible outcome of upgrading an Elegant Round Shield to unique rarity using a Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Tainted Mythic Orb" or using an Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Orb of Chance" with the Trash to Treasure prophecy active.
