In 2026, Lego Fortnite continues to challenge players with hostile creatures that can overwhelm even well-armed adventurers. The Reflection Charm remains a distinctive piece of equipment because it blends defensive support with a subtle offensive edge. Instead of relying only on weapons, players can equip this charm to punish any enemy that lands a hit. The damage reflection is not overwhelming on its own, but in difficult encounters every point of damage matters. For players building a survival loadout, the Reflection Charm offers a practical answer to sustained pressure.

What the Reflection Charm Does
The Reflection Charm is a supportive piece of equipment with a retaliatory effect. After a player equips it, the character instantly deals damage to any enemy that attacks them. This effect is automatic, so it does not require a special action or timing window. The amount of damage reflected depends on the rarity of the charm. A Rare Reflection Charm reflects a small amount of damage, grants two additional hearts, and provides three points of defense. An Epic Reflection Charm reflects a moderate amount of damage, grants four additional hearts, and provides ten points of defense. The charm therefore works as both a safety net and a gentle deterrent. Enemies that rely on repeated hits will steadily lose health while the player gains extra survivability.
Crafting the Rare Reflection Charm
A Rare Reflection Charm can be crafted with an Uncommon Crafting Bench. The recipe calls for three Silk Thread, ten Glass, and five Vendetta Floppers. The materials are straightforward to understand, but the fishing requirement gives the recipe a distinct preparation loop. Glass is needed in sizable quantities, while Vendetta Floppers require a dedicated fishing trip. The Rare version is a reasonable target for players who want early access to reflective damage without committing to the larger Epic material cost.
Crafting the Epic Reflection Charm
An Epic Reflection Charm requires a Rare Crafting Bench. Its recipe uses three Wool Thread, thirty Glass, and ten Vendetta Floppers. The jump from Rare to Epic is significant. Glass demand triples, and the Vendetta Flopper requirement doubles. In exchange, the Epic charm offers stronger reflected damage, four additional hearts, and ten points of defense. For tougher combat situations, that combination can justify the extra gathering effort. The table below summarizes both versions.
| Version | Crafting Bench | Materials |
|---|---|---|
| Rare Reflection Charm | Uncommon Crafting Bench | 3x Silk Thread, 10x Glass, 5x Vendetta Flopper |
| Epic Reflection Charm | Rare Crafting Bench | 3x Wool Thread, 30x Glass, 10x Vendetta Flopper |
Finding Vendetta Floppers

Vendetta Floppers can be caught in any body of water with a Fishing Rod. However, they are most commonly found in ponds within the Grasslands caves. Players who need several of these fish should prepare a Fishing Rod and plan a cave expedition rather than relying on random surface fishing. The Rare charm needs five Vendetta Floppers, while the Epic charm needs ten. Because the fish requirement is the most distinctive part of the recipe, it is wise to gather the full amount before crafting. Glass is also a major component, especially for the Epic version, so stockpiling it early can prevent a frustrating delay.
Using the Reflection Charm in Combat

Once equipped, the Reflection Charm deals damage to enemies that attack the player. The effect is passive, which makes it useful in chaotic fights where enemies land frequent blows. It does not replace a strong weapon, but it adds value to every defensive exchange. The Rare version is suited to moderate encounters and early exploration, while the Epic version is better for dangerous areas and longer battles. The extra hearts and defense are especially important because they improve survivability directly. The reflected damage then adds a small but consistent offensive contribution.
