Skull Cap

A common Bone set head armor found in The Boneyard. Provides +3 Shield and breaks when that shield is depleted, granting +1 Intelligence and +3 Health Regen for the rest of the battle. The INT boost on break rewards spell-heavy builds — pair it with Jawbone for coordinated break-trigger timing across both face and head slots. A cheap way to build toward the Bone set while getting a delayed stat bonus out of a defensive layer.

The Skull Cap's break bonus complements the Jawbone's STR bonus: together, running both gives +1 STR and +1 INT post-break, plus +6 combined Health Regen for the remainder of the fight. The BoneArmorPassive on both suggests the Bone set has additional synergistic interactions. Since both break from the same source of damage, positioning matters — getting hit in areas that damage both slots simultaneously can trigger them close together.

Best for INT-scaling caster builds in The Boneyard that want a free intelligence boost mid-fight. The +3 Health Regen on break gives sustained recovery for the rest of the encounter, which is especially useful in boss fights where the fight runs long. Don't hold onto the shield for defensive reasons — let it burn fast to unlock the bonus early.
