What does "★20% damage" mean in Dead Cells?
In a game of Dead Cells (with the new update), I just received this item (emphasis mine, sorry but I can't get a screenshot of any quality here easily):
Electric Whip V
442 DPS
+50% damage
Automatically targets nearby enemies. Ignores shields.★20% damage
◆+30% damage to a burning target
What does "★20% damage" mean? Is it a typo that is supposed to say "+20% damage"? Is it a mis-starred downside that makes my attacks only deal 20% damage?
I am playing on Nintendo Switch.

Best Answer
Star identifies "rare" modifier. Usually can be found on Legendary items, but sometimes may appear on usual items.
I doubt star is used instead of "+", most likely "+" is just missing.
