Ricochet Paddle is an artifact that causes hit Missiles to flip towards the enemy when hit, instead of being destroyed.

Strategy

At its best, it can provide a bit of supplemental offense in certain fights, most notably The Cobalt and The Dreadnought. Overall, it's generally not a good artifact because of how conditional it is:

1. It only works in fights where enemies shoot missiles at you.

2. It only does something if you shoot said missiles (sometimes, dodging/tanking them makes more sense).

3. Even if you are shooting the missiles, at times you'd rather they be destroyed, seeing as after being flipped they're still blocking your line of fire on the enemy. For example, if you use Multi Shot on an incoming missile, this will be a downside, since your first shot will flip the missile and then the second will destroy it, whereas without this artifact, your first shot destroys and the second hits the enemy!

So it's fairly rare for this artifact to be very useful, even if it is satisfying to see your enemies get a taste of their own medicine when it does.
