Notes
- The boosted life regeneration from the Photosynthesis buff is overridden by the effects of the Shiny Stone, the Demonshade Breastplate, and the Cosmic Freeze buff.
- Although the tooltip says the life regen is 5 times stronger during the daytime, it provides up to 34 life regen at its peak instead of the expected 30.
Trivia
- Photosynthesis is a process in which plants convert light into usable energy.
