## The Iron Link Ring

 ![iron_link](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codecombat/original/3X/2/1/2191571873e21e888cb59328ea2c7b703809e6cc.png)

A ring forged in the fires of Kithgard with iron that is stronger than the bones of a dragon… Nothing powerful comes without a cost. To harness the powers of the new **Iron Link** ring, you must sacrifice a friend…

The new ring grants a strong “Iron-link” ability that makes one target absorb all of the damage received by another target for 5 seconds! Use it wisely, as you can only cast the spell once every 15 seconds.

### Iron Link Spell

Syntax: `hero.cast("iron-link", recipient, tanker)`  
Description:  
For 5 seconds, any damage taken by the `recipient` is instead absorbed by the `tanker`. However, the tanker must be on the same team as the recipient. You cannot sacrifice a foe for an ally.

Try this ring in combat for 870 💎! You will be able to unlock it at level 14!

It looks like there was a bug that crashed the game if a summonable unit died or had the iron link spell. It should be fixed, but since it’s a new item, there might be more bugs in the future. Please let me know if you come across more problems.
