What we can confirm
Lootbound lets players place and rotate items in inventory space. Aura is a placement mechanic that affects items in adjacent cells. In play, moving a single item can therefore change which neighbours it touches.
How to inspect an Aura layout
- Put the relevant items next to one another and look at the game’s own feedback.
- Rotate first when a shape seems hard to fit; a different orientation can open an adjacent cell.
- Keep one flexible gap where possible so a later item does not force a full rebuild.
What this page will not claim
There is no public complete table here for Aura values, all item shapes, or damage outcomes. A reliable calculator needs those inputs. Until they are openly verified, use the game interface as the final authority.
Practical rule: adjacency is worth checking; exact optimization is not yet a public-data problem.
