The Life bracer is an accessory in the series. It gives a boost to the wearer's Defence and max HP.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
The life bracer is golden and made in the shape of a pair of angel's wings, featuring a large pink heart-shaped gemstone. Although an accessory with the same name and design appeared in IX, it restored the wearer's HP rather than increased their max HP.
