How to use Limit Break

Limit Break converts excess healing from a Ferrofluid Flask into temporary extra Health. The bonus holds for 15 s before it starts to decay. The only copy is in a chest in Caverns.

A flask restores 50 Health before power upgrades, so drinking at nearly full Health before a boss's big opener turns the overflow into a buffer. It pairs with Tomorrow's Promise and Iron Grip, conflicts with Butcher's Carnage, and gives nothing with Life Diverted, whose flasks restore Nephtoglobin instead of Health.

Written from the Amber's own parameters, where its copies are placed and its listed pairings; rank II values marked as interpolated are estimates between rank I and rank III.
