Protection Transmitter

Rare head armor from the Transmitter set. At battle start, grants Brace 1 to all allies — a powerful team-wide defensive buff before a single action is taken. The wearer also has the Metal tag and takes Bruise 2, creating a self-sacrifice tradeoff: you take a debuff so your team enters every fight with extra resilience. Best equipped on a tank cat that can absorb the Bruise penalty while the rest of the party benefits from the opening Brace.
