Tank's Helmet

Rare head armor from the Tank set. Grants +1 Shield and adds bonus damage to knockback. Metal-tagged. Combined with the Tank's Pads (status on knockback) and Tank's Tattoo (amplified knockback distance), the full Tank set turns every shove into a hard-hitting, debuff-applying launch. Best paired with abilities that have knockback built in, turning each push into a source of damage and crowd control.

AddKnockbackDamage is a flat damage addition that applies whenever the wearer deals knockback, separate from base ability damage. Combined with the Metal tag, this piece benefits from any passives or synergies that interact with metal-type equipment. The +1 Shield is modest compared to the Pads' +2, but the Helmet's value is primarily in the damage passive rather than the defensive stat.

The Helmet is the damage anchor of the Tank set. Without it, the Pads and Tattoo handle debuffs and distance but lack raw killing power. Prioritize the Helmet first if building into the set, since bonus knockback damage is universally useful on any build that triggers knockback. Cats that already deal high damage per hit benefit most, as the flat bonus is proportionally larger relative to low base-damage classes.
