Bar Blade Overview
Bar Blade is a specialist sustain Artifact for builds that keep a Summon nearby. Its value is passive survival over time, not burst healing or direct damage.
What Bar Blade Does
While a Summon is nearby, Bar Blade slowly regenerates Health. Move away from the Summon or lose it, and the verified condition is no longer present.
The game provides no exact amount, interval, percentage, or maximum for this regeneration. “Slowly” is the only verified speed description.
What Counts as a Summon?
Growth, Spike, and Volatile Anomaly all use the game's Summon wording. They are the verified ability relations for Bar Blade.
Spike
Spike summons an Astral Spike that attacks enemies and builds Astralized. Its battlefield presence can support ongoing healing.
Volatile Anomaly
Volatile Anomaly summons an ally that loses Health over time and can be thrown or detonated. Keep it nearby for sustain; detonate it for offense and give up that condition.
Does Command Trigger Bar Blade?
Not verified. The game distinguishes Summons from Commanded enemies, including talent text that refers to them separately. Do not assume a Commanded enemy activates Bar Blade.
Is Bar Blade Good?
Bar Blade is excellent specialist sustain when a Summon stays active nearby. Without a Summon, it has no verified trigger and offers little direct value to a burst-damage plan.

Best Summon Builds for Bar Blade
Use Bar Blade as the sustain layer in a Growth, Spike, or Volatile Anomaly build. It rewards keeping the summon alive and close while Dylan continues fighting.
Summon talent support
Summon lifetime, summon damage, damage reduction near Summons, Health Elements from summon kills, and melee bonuses per Summon can reinforce the same playstyle. Bar Blade supplies the passive healing layer; this page does not duplicate the full Talent Tree.
Bar Blade vs Other Survival Artifacts
Choose by trigger, not by a universal healing ranking.
Bar Blade
Summon nearby → slow ongoing Health regeneration.
Shiny Pebble
Gravity Anomaly → Health restoration up to 50%. It fits a different Shift and Gravity Anomaly setup.
How to Get Bar Blade
Complete The Party Won't Stop in the West Incursion Zone to obtain Untapped Bar Blade, then form Bar Blade through the Forgemaster in the Gap.
The Party Won’t Stop
Finish the quest to receive Untapped Bar Blade. Saving everyone is tied to the flawless karaoke and trophy outcome, not the ordinary Artifact reward.
Evidence layer
Production data directly verifies a Quest-domain blueprint reward payload. Public guides consistently identify The Party Won't Stop, but the internal reward id is not mapped directly to that public title.
Perfect karaoke is not required for the ordinary Artifact reward.
Untapped Bar Blade
Bring Untapped Bar Blade to the Forgemaster in the Gap to form the finished Artifact.
No exact finished Artifact image is matched, so the verified blueprint is used only in this acquisition section.
