Twine Hat

A common head armor from The Caves, part of the Twine set. Provides +3 Shield and a 50% chance to Grapple any unit that contacts you, holding them in place and opening them up to follow-up attacks. Flammable makes fire a hard counter.

The Twine Hat has more shield than the other Twine pieces (+3 vs +1), making it the most defensively robust piece of the set. The 50% Grapple proc is identical across all Twine pieces, but the extra shield here helps the hat survive longer in the head slot where it takes more hits. Grappled enemies lose their ability to reposition, making them sitting targets.

In The Caves — a melee-heavy zone — the Grapple proc pays dividends constantly. The strongest shield piece in the Twine set and the most useful pick individually. Pair with Twine Mask and Twine Armor for stacked Grapple chances, while keeping fire enemies in mind as a hard counter.
