Energy Drink Overview
Energy Drink is a high-risk melee Crit Artifact. It offers a large Critical Chance bonus only while Health is full, while its incoming-damage penalty makes that condition harder to keep.
What Energy Drink Does
Adds +30% Critical Chance for all melee attacks when Dylan is at maximum Health. Dylan takes +20% more damage while this Artifact is equipped.
The +30% modifies how often melee attacks crit. It is not Critical Damage and does not make each Critical Hit 30% stronger.
How the Full-Health Trigger Works
The condition is maximum Health, not high Health and not a hidden percentage threshold. Taking any damage means the verified Crit condition is no longer satisfied.
Active · Maximum Health
+30% Melee Critical Chance
Crit bonus inactive
Health is not full
The +20% Damage Taken penalty remains active whenever Energy Drink is equipped, even when the Crit bonus is inactive.
Is Energy Drink Good?
It is excellent for players who can reliably avoid damage and maintain full Health. Frequent chip damage removes the bonus while leaving the risk in place.

Best Builds for Energy Drink
Use it when melee Critical Hits are the offense plan and staying untouched is realistic. Energy Drink is high-skill, high-risk Crit frequency, not an automatic best Crit Artifact.
Maintain maximum Health
Damage avoidance, Perfect Dodge, Shield, and careful positioning protect the trigger more directly than taking damage and healing it back. The Artifact's own +20% Damage Taken penalty makes every mistake more expensive.
Energy Drink vs Other Crit Artifacts
Crit frequency, Crit damage, and targeted Crit payoff are separate jobs.
Compact
Compact gives Critical Hits +50% Damage but reduces their Falter by 30%. Together, crits can be more frequent and stronger, at the cost of +20% incoming Damage and 30% less Falter from Critical Hits.
Water Pistol
Water Pistol makes Critical Hits deal +50% Damage to Hiss Shield. Energy Drink can create more melee Crit events for that targeted payoff.
Listed modifiers may be compared, but this page does not claim that Energy Drink and Amulet produce exactly +35% final Critical Chance. Base chance, caps, and stacking order are not closed.
Healing and Full-Health Support
Shiny Pebble restores Health only up to 50%, so it cannot activate a maximum-Health condition by itself. Do not label it an Energy Drink activation engine.
Bar Blade slowly regenerates Health near a Summon and may support recovery, but its exact cap and regeneration behavior are not modeled. It cannot promise permanent Energy Drink uptime.
How to Get Energy Drink
Current launch-era Artifact guides list Untapped Energy Drink as an Unknown Zone Level 12 reward. After obtaining the blueprint, form Energy Drink through the Forgemaster system in the Gap.

Game data · Verified
Game data confirms that Untapped Energy Drink forms through the Forgemaster in the Gap, but it does not name a direct reward source.
