Jawbone

A common Bone set face armor found in The Boneyard. Grants +3 Shield as a buffer, but its real identity is the break bonus: when the shield runs out and the Jawbone breaks, you gain +1 Strength and +3 Health Regen for the rest of the fight. The break reward incentivizes taking hits — eat the damage, proc the buff, and come out stronger. Works well with builds that want to cycle through the shield quickly to trigger the bonus on demand.

The +3 Shield isn't enough to rely on as primary defense, but it serves as a timed fuse before the StatusOnBreak fires. The BoneArmorPassive likely interacts with other Bone set pieces, potentially modifying how the shield absorbs damage or how break procs behave. The +1 STR on break is a permanent in-fight damage boost, and the +3 Health Regen stacks with any existing regen, turning the Jawbone into a resource that gets better after it's destroyed.

Ideal for aggressive STR-based builds that want post-break momentum. Pairs with the Skull Cap (which gives INT + Health Regen on break) for a dual-break setup that rewards taking hits on the face and head simultaneously. In The Boneyard where enemies hit hard, the shield burns off quickly and the break bonus becomes available early in fights — a feature, not a bug.
