Breastplate is an item in HoloCure - Save the Fans!. It is unlocked by completing the Muscle achievement, which requires taking at least 500 damage in a single run. Players will receive the achievement whether they win or lose the run.
Breastplate reduces damage taken at the cost of speed and grants a chance to deal counter-damage if the player is hit.

Behavior
For the purposes of this item, "when attacked" means coming in contact with an enemy or an enemy attack, including projectiles.
- Active items, skills, or Special Attacks will not interfere with Breastplate's activation. This means that counterattacks can still trigger while dodging or when invincible.
- There is one exception:
Stealth Mode prevents Breastplate from activating.
- There is one exception:
- Enemy projectiles can trigger counterattacks regardless of distance.
- Counterattacks can be critical hits.
- The counterattack happens after damage is received, so it can't prevent damage by defeating an enemy.
- Damage reduction stacks multiplicatively with other damage reduction effects.
Kusogaki Shackles reduces this item's
SPD penalty, completely negating it at max level.
Tips
- Breastplate can be central to really tanky builds that like to camp an open space within an otherwise cluttered stage and stay within their own AoE while constantly recovering HP.
- Somewhat of a staple for "no move" runs, as boss-types defeated with counterattacks will drop their Holozon Box right on top of the player, allowing for it to be picked up without moving.
- Unless planning to make extensive use of counterattacks,
Membership tends to be a better option.
- Works best with characters who react positively to getting hit, either by healing, buffing, turning invincible or responding with a strong attack.
Shirogane Noel, the item's inspiration, works very well with this item.
Nekomata Okayu's
Sensitive Voice skill will devour an enemy immediately if the counterattack is a critical hit and charms them.
- While
Shirakami Fubuki can benefit from the item's effects, the penalty to SPD can reduce the effectiveness of Fubuki's kit.
- Other characters that can benefit include
Airani Iofifteen,
Houshou Marine,
Inugami Korone,
Murasaki Shion,
Nakiri Ayame, and
Natsuiro Matsuri.
