Stellar Bracelet

Stellar Bracelet is an event-triggered recovery Artifact. It waits for your Shield to be destroyed and then restores a small amount of Health. It adds no Shield strength, no Shield duration and no damage reduction, so it never makes the Shield itself better — it only converts a Shield break into sustain.

The exact heal amount, any internal cooldown and which Shield ends count as a break stay unpublished until they are confirmed against the shipped game.

The effect is a short chain. Your Shield takes damage, breaks under that damage, and the Artifact restores Health in response. It is a failure-conversion effect: the defensive layer is lost, and the payoff is recovery.

1. 1 · The Shield is destroyed

   The trigger is the Shield being destroyed by damage, not the Shield being active and not the Shield being manually ended.

2. 2 · The break is eligible

   The Artifact responds to that break event. Whether every break qualifies, or only some causes, is confirmed against the shipped game.

3. 3 · Health is restored

   A small amount of Health is restored directly. No Health Element is created and no pickup is required.

4. 4 · The loop can repeat

   Bring the Shield back up, let it absorb damage again, and the next break can trigger the heal, subject to any internal cooldown.

This is the core of the Artifact: the Shield break is the event, the Health restore is the payoff.

Public descriptions agree on one condition: the Shield has to be destroyed. The chain is created, active, absorbing damage, then destroyed. Stellar Bracelet only listens to that destruction, so the page separates a real break from every other way a Shield can stop existing.

1. 1 · Shield created

   The Shield is summoned and becomes an active defensive layer.

2. 2 · Shield active

   It absorbs or interacts with incoming damage while it lasts.

3. 3 · Destroyed by damage

   Damage breaks the Shield. This is the event Stellar Bracelet consumes.

4. 4 · Health restored

   The Artifact restores a small amount of Health in response.

Destroyed, expired, dismissed and replaced are different events. Treating them as one is the main mistake this page prevents.

Stellar Bracelet restores Health itself when the Shield breaks. That makes it a direct event recovery, separate from Health Elements and from the Artifacts that scale them. Keeping the sources apart is what stops recovery Artifacts from being wrongly stacked together.

• Direct event recovery

  The heal happens at the moment of the Shield break. This is the recovery source Stellar Bracelet owns.

• Health Element

  A pickup that restores Health when collected. Stellar Bracelet is not described as creating one.

• 1996 Commemorative Coin

  The Coin makes Health Elements restore more Health. Because Stellar Bracelet is a direct heal, no interaction between them is assumed.

Direct recovery and pickup recovery are different sources. Treating them as one is the most common mistake with this Artifact.

Stellar Bracelet is bought, not found or earned from a boss. You purchase the Untapped Stellar Bracelet from the Central Vendor for 1,000 Source, then form it before equipping it.

1. 1 · Reach the Central region

   Get access to the Central area where the vendor operates.

2. 2 · Visit the Central Vendor

   Find the Central Vendor and open its stock.

3. 3 · Buy the Untapped Artifact

   Purchase the Untapped Stellar Bracelet for 1,000 Source.

4. 4 · Form it

   Craft the Untapped Artifact at the Artifact Formation, then equip it from your Loadout.

This page covers the Stellar Bracelet purchase only. The vendor's full stock and its upgrade levels belong to a future Vendor or Location page.

After buying the Untapped Stellar Bracelet you form it at the Artifact Formation. The purchase price is confirmed, but the full Formation material list has not been verified, so the numbers are withheld instead of guessed.

Recipe numbers are the part most likely to change between versions, so the page keeps them out rather than publishing a third-party guess.

Stellar Bracelet's only relation is to the Shield, and the relation is not "the Artifact makes the Shield stronger" — it is "the Artifact consumes the Shield's break event". That distinction is why Shield uptime and Shield-break frequency decide the Artifact's value.

A Shield-heavy loop of absorb, break and recover is the intended use. Deliberately shattering the Shield is not recommended, because Shield cost, cooldown, heal amount and incoming damage all still decide the real payoff.

Stellar Bracelet, Lost Prescription and Heart Monitor all restore Health, but each reacts to a different event: a Shield break, a Perfect Dodge and a lethal hit. Reading them as interchangeable healing is what makes loadout choices worse.

None of these replaces another. Stellar Bracelet rewards letting the Shield take the hit, Lost Prescription rewards dodging it, and Heart Monitor is emergency protection.

A Shield-focused loadout can stack defense in layers instead of picking one effect. The Shield absorbs, Stellar Bracelet recovers after the Shield fails, Health absorbs what is left, and Heart Monitor guards the lethal hit. Each layer answers a different failure.

1. 1 · Absorb

   The Shield takes the pressure first and breaks when it can no longer hold.

2. 2 · Recover

   Stellar Bracelet returns a small amount of Health after the break.

3. 3 · Second layer

   Health absorbs the damage the Shield no longer blocks.

4. 4 · Survive

   Heart Monitor protects the one lethal hit that would otherwise end the run.

This is a layering model, not a combo. The layers do not multiply each other's numbers.

Some Artifacts only work while your Health is low. A Stellar Bracelet heal can raise your Health above that threshold, which temporarily turns those Artifacts off. That is a tension to manage, not a reason to avoid either piece.

• Medical Alert Bands

  Medical Alert Bands build more Falter while Health is low. A break heal that lifts you above the threshold temporarily stops that bonus.

• Mother's Locket

  Mother's Locket deals more damage while Health is low. Healing can shorten that window in the same way.

• How to think about it

  This is a safety-versus-uptime tension, not a conflict. A low-Health build still wants the extra survivability a Shield-break heal provides.

These are threshold interactions, not confirmed numbers. The heal only matters when a Shield break actually happens, so the effect is occasional rather than constant.

Stellar Bracelet gives nothing unless your Shield breaks. The useful question is not its raw heal but how often your build uses Shield and how regularly that Shield absorbs enough damage to be destroyed.

Stellar Bracelet cares about how often an encounter lets your Shield absorb and break, not how hard it is. Encounters with frequent blockable pressure raise its value; fights that bypass or ignore Shield lower it.

• Frequent blockable attacks

  Repeated direct pressure the Shield can absorb raises the chance of an eligible break.

• High repeated pressure

  Enough concentrated damage to break the Shield makes the trigger reliable.

• Hazard and status fights

  Persistent status buildup and environmental hazards do not interact with Shield, so the trigger slows down.

• Shield-bypassing bosses

  Attacks that pierce or ignore Shield never create a break event, so relevance drops.

The right read is trigger opportunity, not a difficulty score. A Shield-heavy fight can favor it more than a harder fight that ignores Shield.

What does Stellar Bracelet do?

It restores a small amount of Health when your Shield is destroyed.

Where do you get Stellar Bracelet?

Buy the Untapped Stellar Bracelet from the Central Vendor for 1,000 Source, then form it at the Artifact Formation.

Does manually turning Shield off trigger Stellar Bracelet?

Do not assume so. Current descriptions say the Shield has to be destroyed, and detailed guides describe a break by damage. A manual end is not a verified trigger until the game confirms it.

Does Shield expiring naturally heal you?

Not assumed. An expired Shield and a destroyed Shield are different events, and only the destroyed event is confirmed to trigger the heal.

Does every Shield break heal?

Public descriptions read as a conditional trigger rather than a chance proc, but an internal cooldown or a per-cast limit still needs verification.

How much Health does Stellar Bracelet restore?

Current reliable sources only say a small amount of Health. The exact value is not published until the game confirms it.

Does the 1996 Commemorative Coin increase the heal?

No interaction should be assumed. The Coin improves Health Element recovery, and Stellar Bracelet is a direct heal rather than a Health Element.

Stellar Bracelet or Lost Prescription?

Follow your defense style: Stellar Bracelet is for Shield players, Lost Prescription is for Perfect Dodge players. They trigger on completely different events.

Stellar Bracelet or Heart Monitor?

They do different jobs. Stellar Bracelet is ongoing sustain after a Shield failure; Heart Monitor is one-time protection against a lethal hit.

Also relevant: Wallet, Worn Eraser and other defensive-layer Artifacts.
