Bracelets are a type of armor in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. All armors come with different stats; some have unique effects, and of course there are different ways to obtain them. Some you can purchase from different merchants, while others you have to find from a chest, or you get them as a reward for defeating a boss. 

All characters can equip one piece of armor alongside an accessory. Furthermore, all bracelets come with materia slots. The amount of materia slots depends on the quality of the bracelet, as it can range from 2 to 4 slots. Those materia slots allow you to equip different types of materia that give you different boosts to your character. Now that you know what bracelets do and how they function, let's list the best 5 of them!

5. Star Bracelet

Look upon the stars!

This bracelet isn't anything special, but its use comes in the early game. It provides 3 physical and 3 magical defenses. It also comes with 2 unlinked materia slots. The stats aren't high as someone might expect from an armor piece, but in the early game, it will serve its purpose until you find something better. 

When it comes to the armor piece, it's also cheap, as it only costs 1,000 gil in the main game, but in the Intermission DLC it will cost 1,600 gil. You can also obtain it as a quest reward in the main game in Chapter 3, “Home Sweet Slum,” after dealing with a drake in an abandoned factory. 

What Makes Star Bracelet Great:

• It can be obtained as a free item from a quest.
• It can be bought from a merchant for 1,000 gil and in the DLC, it is 1,600 gil.
• It gives 3 physical and 3 magical defenses.
• Great during the early game to give defenses to Cloud or Tifa.

Star Bracelet Stats:

• Physical Defenses: 3
• Magical Defenses: 3
• Materia Slots: 2 unlinked
• Price: 1,000 gil main game, 1,600 gil DLC.

4. Caliginous Bracelet

3 materia slots in the early game? Sign me up!

This bracelet gives the user 5 physical and 5 magical defenses. It also gives 3 materia slots, two of which are linked. It comes in useful if the player needs the materia slots for a magic build or if they don't have anything else to equip. 

The bracelet can be found in a chest for free while exploring during the quest “Through the Backstreets.” Or if you buy it from weapon shops or vending machines for 3,200 gil from Sector 5 and onwards.

3. Magicians Bracelet

Time to spam some spells.

This bracelet is specifically made for magic builds or sorceresses like Aerith. It isn't that good in stats; it only gives 7 physical and 7 magical defenses, but what it does give is 4 materia slots. These materia slots aren't linked, sadly, but they are enough for you to put either stat boosts or spells in there. 

The bracelet is good for your characters that are always in the backlines and not on the frontlines. It can be stolen from Reno on top of the Sector 7 Pillar during the mission “Showdown.” Otherwise, it is obtained from shops for 4,800 gil in Chapter 13 and onwards. You can also obtain it from a chest in chapter 15 during the quest “The Day Midgar Stood Still.”

2. Geometric Bracelet

Man, why is it so expensive?

This bracelet is similar to the Magicians one, but it comes with 4 materia slots, two of which are linked, and 8 physical defenses and 8 magical defenses. The strength of this bracelet is that it has two materias linked together, which makes them stronger. 

It can make any spell stronger and better. It's good for backline characters and magic builds. You can obtain it through the Shinra Combat Simulator, and it's also sold in the Shinra building on F64 for 6,400 gil. It's certainly not cheap.

1. Force Bracelet

Turns your character into an unstoppable force.

This bracelet has poor stats for the late game. It only gives 9 physical defenses and 9 magical defenses. But where it excels is having 4 materia slots that are all linked. Which can make materias stronger than they already are. 

The way that you obtain this bracelet is by finding it in a chest in the 3rd ward in the “Feed Storage” area during “Research the 3rd Ward.” There is another one that drops from the “Swordipide” boss in the 4th ward during Chapter 17.
