Demonic Hat

Uncommon head armor from the Demonic set. Grants Thorns, Trample, and blocks enemies from gaining HP. The HP gain block is uniquely punishing against enemies or abilities that rely on lifesteal or healing — they can't recover once the hat is in play. Combined with Thorns and Trample, the full Demonic set creates an oppressive presence that drains enemy resources while reflecting damage back on everything that engages in melee.

HPGainBlock prevents enemies from restoring any HP for as long as the wearer is alive, which effectively nullifies regeneration, lifesteal, and healing abilities entirely. Thorns reflects melee damage back at attackers, while Trample deals bonus damage on movement-based attacks. The head slot version of this effect is particularly impactful because the hat is often the last piece swapped out, meaning HPGainBlock stays active throughout the most critical parts of the fight.

The Demonic Hat is at its most valuable against regenerating bosses or elite enemies with high self-sustain. HPGainBlock alone can turn an otherwise unwinnable war of attrition into a straightforward brawl. Pairing it with the Demonic Necklace (Bruise, reactive status) and Demonic Mask (Bleed, BleedThorns, Trample) builds the full Demonic set, which fields every passive in the set simultaneously. Even as a standalone pickup, the Thorns plus HPGainBlock combination is strong enough for any tank build.
