Apotropaic

Apotropaic () means "turning away evil". Matcha Flavoured uses the word for things that protect against the undead: warding charms, silver, holy weapons and the healing arrows sold by the fletcher. In tooltips, the glyph marks the maximum level of warding.

Apotropaic Max

The full set of electrum armor lists Max under its set bonus. This is 4, the highest warding level, which held items can't reach on their own. At 4 the wearer:

• gives every undead mob within 24 blocks Slowness III every 0.5 seconds, husks included,
• deals 2 ( × 1) every 0.5 seconds to the nearest undead mob within 12 blocks, or to the Wither within 16 blocks,
• pierces the protection of mobs wearing copper armor, dealing 1 ( × 0.5) to them.

See Warding for the full comparison of levels.
