Carapace Necklace

Uncommon neck armor from the Carapace set. Grants +4 Shield and applies a status effect at the end of every turn. The status-on-turn-end makes the Carapace set naturally passive — you don't need to do anything special to generate status effects, they accumulate automatically each round. Pair with the Carapace Mask and Carapace Hat to triple the turn-end status output while also stacking +12 Shield across all three slots.

+4 Shield is one of the highest shield values available at the neck slot, making the Carapace Necklace one of the strongest defensive common-tier choices even without considering its passive. StatusEachTurnEnd fires once per turn regardless of what the cat did that turn, meaning the status effect generates without requiring any offensive action. The type of status applied can vary, potentially debuffing all enemies, buffing the wearer, or creating field effects depending on run context.

The Carapace Necklace is a strong standalone neck piece even without the rest of the set, given its +4 Shield alone competes with most neck armors. Combined with the Carapace Mask and Hat, the full +12 Shield and three turn-end status procs create a loadout that provides exceptional defensive staying power and steady status output without ever needing to use an action to trigger either. Best on tanky or support cats that need high shield values and passive output simultaneously.
