Fighter's Helm

Rare head armor from the Fighter set. Provides +2 Shield and triggers a status effect on kill. Metal-tagged. The Fighter set rewards aggression — every kill triggers bonuses from each equipped piece, so a cat wearing the full set gets three simultaneous status triggers per elimination. Particularly effective against groups of weaker enemies where kills come in rapid succession.

StatusOnKill on the Helm fires the same way as the Shoulder Pad's proc — independently per kill. Metal tag here (unlike the Scar) means the Helm and Shoulder Pad both benefit from metal synergies, and combined with +2 Shield the Helm is a strong standalone head armor even without the full set. As the head slot piece, the Helm is often the first Fighter set item you'll encounter as drops, making it a useful anchor for building toward the full set.

The Fighter set as a whole shines on cats built for rapid kills: high attack speed, multi-hit abilities, or AoE that can eliminate several enemies per round. Three procs per kill means the full set can apply multiple statuses to surviving enemies immediately after each kill, potentially debilitating groups before they get to act. Even the Helm alone earns its slot on an aggressive cat since +2 Shield plus a kill proc is hard to beat at rare tier for head armor.
