Blessed Halo

Blessed Halo is the very rare upgrade to the rare Halo, triggering a status effect whenever the wearer takes damage to health or shield. At very rare rarity the status is presumably more powerful than the standard Halo's, making each hit you absorb generate a stronger return effect. As with all on-damage head armors, it shines on tanks that expect to be struck repeatedly throughout every fight.

The StatusOnTakeHealthOrShieldDamage passive fires on every damage instance, whether it hits shield first or goes straight to health. This means it's always active regardless of shield state — shield not present or fully depleted, the passive still fires on every hit. Higher rarity implies a stronger status applied, meaning the very rare Blessed Halo likely curses or debuffs attackers more severely than its common counterpart.

Blessed Halo competes with Asteroid (same mechanic, adds Shield:4) for the reactive head slot. Choose Blessed Halo if the specific status it applies is more valuable than the extra shield; choose Asteroid for combined shield + status value. On builds with many other shield sources, Blessed Halo may be the better choice. Pairs naturally with status-amplification items or debuff synergies that scale off the specific status effect it applies.
