What is airbag even good for?

[Beaumont]

I cant see any reason id ever want to use airbag. what it might pair with. exc.

Could someone enlighten me

It works well with scrolls which gives more stats the less hp you have, namely:
Persistent: -0.5% DMG taken for every 1% HP missing.
Berserk Soul: +0.5% Lucky Shot Chance for each 1% HP missing.
It also gives your full hp back if your shield/armor breaks, so you don't even have to sacrifice your tankiness.

It restores the health before taking additional damage after the shield breaks?

Yeah, it works like that, so in a way, this scroll allows you to profit from missing hp based scrolls, while still giving your hp back in case of emergencies.
Although there was one or two occasion when I instantly died after losing my shields while using airbag, but i don't remember if it's a bug, or i just took too much damage.

Yes; as long as you fill your shield/armor to full after each trigger you'll always have a 2nd health bar to fall back on.

I've actually started using it on Dog since his shield is low and i'll just keep healing back to full on shield break. It feels weird at first but once you use it for awhile you can take quite the beating with it.

It auto-heal to 100% when your shield breaks, and also allow synergies with "HP missing" scrolls.

It can be counter-productive with "Bluff" scroll and some kind of combined shield-health tanking, but otherwhise it just guaranted healing.

That's nice. I always avoided it before. Might try it out now.

Air bag is nice when your not using the Buff scroll because shields regen normally, health does not - so unless your a flesh and bone doggo then air bag is always good to have around.

Tried it once, didn't like it, avoided it since

Does appear to be situational though
In addition to working with previous 2 scrolls, I believe there are certain characters who gain Ascension benefits based on Health and Shield / Armor

If I recall, Bird has an Ascension that consumes armor for a benefit

Yeah but once he consumes the armor, it's going to put him back at full HP.

Though I personally don't take airbag because it's really annoying being at 1 HP and like, only low on armor/shield and just getting the "low health" VFX/SFX when I'm not actually in danger.
