Effect on Shiren

Visual Effects

Normal Shiren	Trap Armband

Equipping a Trap Armband visibly changes Shiren's sprite from a red undershirt, blue cloak and shoes to a green shirt and red accessories.

Abilities

Only the Trap Armband explicitly states that it provides the 'Trap Master' status, Monster-Shiren as a Mecharoid Family Monster has similar abilities.

Trap Armband	Mecharoid-Shiren
Traps are visible
Can hold traps in inventory	Monsters have no inventory
Can place traps on the floor	Can create traps on the floor
Traps will effect non-floating-type monsters
Gains 1 XP with no trap multiplier

With a non-cursed Trap Armband equipped, Shiren can pick up traps from the floor and place them down once. Once a trap has been placed or dropped, it cannot be picked up again. Mecharoid-Shiren can create traps on empty floor spaces to a maximum total of 99 traps on the floor. Only traps that are able to spawn naturally on those floors can be created by Mecharoid-Shiren.

When monsters step on floor spaces with traps, a number appears next to them. This is a trap multiplier, which determines how much XP is rewarded when that monster is defeated. With no multiplier, Trap Master Shiren, or Mecharoid-Shiren will only gain 1 XP.

If a monster is defeated with a multiplier of Shiren will gain 1x the amount that monster of experience defeating that monster would normally reward. x2 would give double the normal amount etc. This multiplier will decrease in increments of 1 for each square the monster steps on that does not have a trap on it. The maximum trap multiplier a monster can have is x20.

How to get affected

• Equip a Trap Armband
• Transform into a Mecharoic Family Monster by consuming Monster Meat or by the magic ability of a Skull Wizard with a transform effect.

How to cure

• Unequip the Trap Armband
• Revert back to Shiren from a Mecharoid Family Monster.

Trivia

• The status, 'Trap Master' does not visibly appear as Shiren's status, with either method, however, it is mentioned in the description of the Trap Armband, and evidently changes Shiren's sprite.
