The players current number of quills determines the {{AV}}[[AV]] bonus granted by the mutation. If the current number of quills is at or exceeds 50% of the players maximum quills, the AV bonus will be a value determined by mutation level. If the player's number of quills is below 50%, this {{AV}}AV bonus will be halved. | The players current number of quills determines the {{AV}}[[AV]] bonus granted by the mutation.

Additionally, Quills grants the "Quill Fling" activated ability, which when used, will discharge approximately 10% of the player's current number of quills to every adjacent tile, dealing damage to any creatures within. The number of flung quills will be spread out evenly across all 8 tiles. Each individual quill does {{Heart}}{{dice tooltip|1d3}} damage and has a {{PV}}[[PV]] value determined by mutation level. As Quill Fling uses 10% of the user's ''current'' quills, using Quill Fling repeatedly will use less and less quills each time, dealing less and less damage. The player cannot use Quill Fling if they do not have at least 80 quills. | Additionally, Quills grants the "Quill Fling" activated ability, which when used, will discharge approximately 10% of the player's current number of quills to every adjacent tile, dealing damage to any creatures within.

When using Quill Fling while [[engulfing|engulfed]] by an enemy, such as a [[Gelatinous Wedge]] or [[Tongue tyrant]], all of the discharged quills will instead be discharged into that enemy, up to 8 times. This makes Quill Fling a very effective offense against late-game threats like [[Gelatinous antiprism|Gelatinous antiprisms]]. | |||
Finally, creatures that attack a player with Quills in [[unarmed]] combat will break approximately 1% of the player's current quills, while taking roughly 3% of the damage dealt reflected back at them per quill broken. This results in stronger damage reflection at higher mutation levels. | Finally, creatures that attack a player with Quills in [[unarmed]] combat will break approximately 1% of the player's current quills, while taking roughly 3% of the damage dealt reflected back at them per quill broken.
