Pact

pact is a miscellaneous item in item asylum. It takes the appearance of a large, gray nail.
==Functionality==
Equipping pact causes a hint message to appear at the bottom the screen, reading: "Click on a player to create a pact with them!". Selecting any player will instantly force them to become part of a life pact with the user, regardless of whether they are considered allied or not.
Once the pact is formed, a blood-red chain will link the two players visually. Both players are given +0.5x attack power, and the recipient's maximum health is added to the maximum health of both parties. Damage dealt to one player is transferred over to the other; if one player in the pact dies, the other player instantly dies, regardless of their state. Status Effects are not transferred between user and recipient. The pact may only be broken by respawning, which is normally only possible through re-roll dice.
==Tips== 
*pact can be used to "leech" off another player's kills. This can be very effective if the opponent has a powerful item such as fish, smile, awp or mad noob's shotgun.
*masamune may save both parties if its wielder takes fatal damage; however, if the linked player that does not have the masamune suffers fatal damage, it will not activate the masamune's second life, and simply kill the wielder of the masamune instantly.
*In TC or TDM, your teammates can betray you by killing the pacted person that you pacted earlier.
**Use pact on one of your teammates instead, as this will cause both of your kills to be worth double.
*Try not to pact with players using defense-decreasing items such as 10 hour burst or joy, as not only will the increased damage transfer to the user, but the recipient's effective health is significantly reduced by the debuff.
*pact can be used as an ersatz death note by simply pacting to another player, then immediately resetting or otherwise ending up getting yourself killed. 
**This method is a useful way of bypassing its counters, such as franklin badge or shine.

==Trivia==
*Staying alive for 30 seconds while pacted to another player will grant them both the long-lasting friendship badge.
*It used to be possible for a player to survive a pact by killing their pact with a lifesteal item, such as darkheart. This has been patched.
*Previously, being under the effects of pact did not grant both parties the share of kills.
*pact is blacklisted from BOSS and JGN rounds, meaning it is impossible for it to be naturally obtained during these rounds.
**This is due to its potential to instantly kill any boss or juggernaut and end the round quickly, with the exception of boss rounds containing multiple bosses, such as beta.
*You can click a deceased player with pact, which instantly kills you.
* Using a weapon such as your eternal reward's backstab on a pacted user will successfully kill them without the user dying. 
* You can pact any NPC in the game, which can result in various effects. For example, pacting a Shadow Clone will kill the player after the clone disappears, but gives the clone 2 HP and pacting a Tree from Earth Tome breaks the Pact entirely.
==Changes==
*v1.7.3
**Maximum health gain changed; rather than using a formula, now adds the recipient's maximum health to both parties' maximum health values.
*v1.7.0 [🎂]
**Changed pact's maximum health gain to a formula, where a is the pact user's maximum health minus 100 and b is the recipient's maximum health minus 100, with negative values ignored:
***For the pact user, the formula is 400 + 3a + b
***For the pact recipient, the formula is 400 + 2a + 2b
**Previously added the user's maximum health to both parties.
*v1.6.7
**Introduced a bug where players under pact's effects would have their kills heavily duplicated, causing item asylum to become temporarily closed.
***About 20 minutes later, fixed the bug and reopened item asylum.
*v1.6.0
** Now increases both player's maximum HP by the pact user's maximum HP.
**Now gives both pacted players +0.5x attack power.
