Svalinn makes Block chance Lucky, rolling Block attempts twice and using the better result. It adds maximum Runic Ward and high Armour, but Blocked Hits can still deal up to 20% of their damage.0.5.4d

Vaal Cultivation Orb
Other Unique ruleSvalinn is not listed among the 48 corrupted Vaal Uniques with an item-specific Cultivation modifier pool. Using a Vaal Cultivation Orb follows the separate rule for other Uniques: it replaces the item with a random Corrupted Unique of the same Item Class.

Vaal Orb outcomes
4 outcomes / 10 enchantmentsVaal Orb can corrupt Svalinn. One applicable outcome is selected, and the item normally cannot be modified again by ordinary crafting.
No change.
Applies a modifier magnitude multiplier of 0.78x to 1.22x (in 0.01 increments) before rounding to explicit modifiers. Applies before quality effects.
- The resulting values are rounded to the nearest whole number, rather than always being rounded down like most decimal values in the game. However, testing suggests the game may use truncation with a +0.5 shift instead of standard rounding. This appears to bias internally negative stats (like 10% Reduced Dexterity) toward zero, preventing some expected values from appearing while making others more common. A formula of trunc(value + 0.5) may explain this behavior.
Adds a special Vaal enchantment to the item.
Adds an item socket to weapons (including sceptres) and armour, ignoring socket limits.
- For jewellery, no change. (This outcome is not removed by Omen of Corruption.)
- The item cannot have more sockets than the amount of space the item takes up.
- If the item is socketed with Cadigan's Epiphany, the item cannot gain an augment socket via corruption.

2MechanicRunic Ward
MechanicLucky
Runic Ward protects the final point of Life. When damage would reduce Life to 0, Life stops at 1 and current Runic Ward absorbs the remainder. The character still dies if the remaining damage is greater than the Ward available.
MechanicLuckyA Lucky value is rolled twice and the better result is used. Luck applies only to the roll named by the modifier, such as Hit damage, Critical Hit chance, Block chance, or Deflect chance.

While your Shield is raised you cannot be Light Stunned by hits you Block, but Blocking too much damage may Heavy Stun you. You cannot Evade while your Shield is raised, but Evasion instead grants an equal chance to avoid this Heavy Stun buildup.
