| Crafted from the tanned, smooth hide of a Western Skyshark, these slippers are astonishingly comfortable. They lack the protective benefits of a good pair of boots, but they can get their wearers out of almost any bind. |
the Slick Slippers
+2 boots
Make all damaging melee attacks trample their wearer backward (immune when climbing stairs)
Provide immunity to constriction, engulfing, webs, and throwing nets.
+4 EV
Desirability
A "freedom of movement" style effect is desirable throughout the game, especially in places where constriction is common, like Spider (webs) and Shoals (nets). The +4 EV is a welcome bonus.
The Slippery effect is a general downside. Being forced to move, at seemingly random intervals, can cause a lot of problems. You can be forced off staircases, you can be forced onto traps or into water, and your position can often be worse. Slippery is unreliable: since you must be damaged in order for it to proc, dodging an attack means you won't get pushed back. However, if you can manage fights / positioning well, then most of its negatives can be removed. Fighting with your back against a wall (or another monster) will prevent you from being pushed back.
