thorns equal to 10% of your max health. - 3Regenerate 6%
health each turn. - 5+50% health. Thorns deal triple.
The fine print
- 2 pieces. Adds thorns equal to 10% of your maximum health. Thorns hit back at an enemy every time one of its blows lands.
- 3 pieces. At the start of each of your turns you heal 6% of your maximum health.
- 5 pieces. All your thorns damage is tripled.
How it plays
The game's own set card sums Thornwood up in three lines:
Get hit. Your thorns hit back.
- Strong against: Packs and flurries. The Tallyman.
- Weak against: Healers. Mother Brine outlasts you.
The set stat
Every Thornwood piece has one stat, its set stat, that is multiplied by how many Thornwood pieces you wear. Two pieces double each one's set stat, five pieces count it five times. That is why a third and fourth piece are worth more than their own numbers suggest. See how sets work.
Pieces
Nine pieces: one for each of the seven slots, a second weapon and a second ring (you wear two rings). Stats shown are Common, found on floor 1.

Synergies
Two pieces of Thornwood with two pieces of another set wake a synergy:
- Briar Blood with Bloodbound: Your
leech also heals from thorns damage. - Bramblewall with Bulwark: Thorns gain 25% of your current armor.
Heroes
Hero select lists Thornwood as a good fit for Brannoch. Any hero can wear it.
Finding it
Thornwood pieces appear from floor 1 on, in The Gilt Cellars and below. Loot leans toward the sets you already wear: each Thornwood piece on you makes the next one more likely, and while you wear two or more the floor market and the merchant offer a piece you are missing.
