Unveiling the Ultimate Remnant 2 Head Armor: An Unbeatable Ranking

Highlights

Head Armor in Remnant 2 is crucial for visual customization and changing the overall appearance of a character.

Although some Head Armor may provide superior defensive statistics, the Helmet/Head Armor rankings place a higher emphasis on aesthetics and the visual appeal they offer.

The Crown of the Red Prince holds the prestigious position of being the top-ranked Head Armor primarily because it boasts exceptional resistance against fire damage, making it highly sought after for formidable fire-based character builds.

The Head Armor in Remnant 2 is arguably the most crucial out of all the Armor slots in the game, especially in terms of appearance. When it comes to the aspect of fashion in Soulslike games, the helmets or Head Armor tend to have the greatest influence in altering the overall look of various combinations.

Although different Armor Pieces in Remnant 2 provide varying levels of defense or resistance, there is still a practical reason to choose certain Head Armor over others. However, when compared to rankings of other Armor Sets, the rankings for Helmets/Head Armor will heavily consider how aesthetically pleasing they appear.

10 Lodestone Crown

The Lodestone Crown, a stunningly radiant crown, can be discovered on a deceased individual aboard a suspended vessel in the Lament region of Yaesha. With a plethora of distinct items awaiting exploration within the Lament, players must utilize their problem-solving abilities to acquire these treasures. Securing the Lodestone Crown, however, proves to be a particularly arduous task as it necessitates navigating through a holographic wall via random movements.

In any scenario, once players acquire the Crown and try it on, they will immediately notice the astonishingly brilliant blue light emanating from the gem at its center. Surprisingly, this light surpasses the brightness of a regular flashlight. Many dedicated players who have invested time and effort into creating their characters have taken to equipping the Lodestone crown and subsequently disabling the 'Show Helmet' option. This clever maneuver renders the crown invisible while retaining its illuminating effect, making it quite a nifty trick. However, in terms of its statistics, this item primarily excels in its ability to resist Blights. Nonetheless, visually, it boasts a multitude of appealing features.

9 Navigator's Helm

Among the four Armor slots, Helmets stand out with their collection of distinct pieces that do not come as part of a complete Armor Set. One such example is the Navigator's Helm, obtained by eliminating a particular N'Erud Zombie beneath a mining machine in the Extraction Hub of N'Erud.

This helmet not only perfectly captures the essence of a sci-fi aesthetic but also serves a crucial role in granting players access to the facial recognition door in the Navigation Room. Beyond this door awaits the coveted Plasma Cutter Long Gun. In terms of statistics, the Navigator's Helm is relatively average, with a slightly lower Defense rating.

8 Bruiser Helmet

To put it bluntly, the Bruiser Helmet is rather comical in appearance. It can be compared to a variety of objects, like a player donning a makeshift bucket as headgear, resembling a massive thimble worn as a helmet, or even paying tribute to the Gold Ardeo helmet from Bloodborne.

The Bruiser Helmet may appear silly, but remarkably, it possesses an elusive 'stylish charm'. Moreover, its impressive Resistance Spread and exceptional Defense make it an effortlessly appealing choice for players to don.

7 Labyrinth Helm

If you depended on the Power Surge Armor Set bonus from the Labyrinth Set in Remnant: From the Ashes, chances are you have developed some affection for the Labyrinth Armor Set as a whole. Few Armor Sets in the world of video games have a look that is as distinctively 'out of this world' as the Labyrinth Set, and the Helm is significant in establishing that appearance.

When it comes to its statistics, the Labyrinth Helm provides impressive Fire and Shock Resistance, two elements that players will frequently encounter during their journeys in Remnant 2.

6 Red Widow Headdress

Given the extensive effort required to obtain the Red Widow Set, one would naturally anticipate its remarkable appearance. Fortunately, it not only meets but surpasses these expectations, both aesthetically and functionally. While its attributes may not be extraordinary in terms of Defense or Resistance, they are still quite respectable.

The Red Widow Headdress, in particular, sets this Armor apart from others, and it appears to be the Helmet that most Summoner players choose to achieve the desired aesthetic of a classic image associated with dabbling in forbidden arts like summoning Root monstrocities.

5 Void Skull

The Void Set in Remnant: From the Ashes, Remnant 2, and Chronos: Before the Ashes truly captures the essence of 'alien armor' like no other. Fans familiar with the lore of R: FtA will undoubtedly recognize this set as a tribute to the Anointed from Rhom, or possibly as an actual suit of Anointed Armor from that realm.

Moreover, the Void Skull is a remarkable helmet that offers not only an immense amount of Defense but also boasts a well-balanced Resistance. The only drawback is that this imposing grey helmet doesn't quite complement any other armor pieces outside of the Void set.

4 Fae Royal Headcover

Instead of initially discussing the visual features of the forthcoming helmet, let's begin by examining its statistics. In comparison to the Void Helm, the Fae Royal Headcover only marginally surpasses it. Both

The headcover provides 15 defense with 8 weight, while the Fae Royal Headcover offers slightly superior resistance with 2 points in Bleed Resist and 2 points in Blight Resist. Moreover, this headcover stands out as one of the most visually appealing helmets in the game, perfectly capturing the essence of the enchanting (yet unsettling) Fae race when worn.

3 Technician Helmet

The Technician Helmet, although slightly inferior to the Fae Royal Headcover in terms of stats with lower Defense and Resistance, surpasses the Void Skull by offering an additional bit of Resistance. However, despite this slight advantage, it doesn't fall between them in these rankings.

2 Leto Mark 1 & Mark 2 Helmets

Introducing a new Armor ranking where the Leto Armor no longer reigns supreme, although the MK I and MK II still hold the second-place position. These helmets offer an excessive amount of Defense in comparison to other choices, but they also weigh significantly more, causing a burden on the player's Encumbrance level.

However, it should be noted that the Leto MK II Helmet surpasses the MK I in terms of statistics, and its visual appeal complements a wider range of Armor combinations. When equipped with the Bright Steel Ring, it becomes difficult to find any reason for players to switch away from the Leto Sets, if possible.

1 Crown Of The Red Prince

Moreover, when it comes to reaching the pinnacle of achievement, nothing quite compares to the majestic Crown of the Red Prince. Not only does acquiring this regal artifact entail a highly intricate procedure (requiring the completion of the Red Prince questline alongside obtaining the Assassin's Dagger Melee Weapon), but its aesthetic appeal is simply unparalleled.

The Crown's top-ranking position can be attributed to its exceptional attribute of providing a staggering 25 Resistance against Fire damage, rendering the player virtually immune to such attacks. As a result, this has greatly contributed to its widespread use among players, especially in enhancing the incredibly dominant 'meta' Firestorm build. Nevertheless, it is important to note that the Crown significantly lacks in other areas of Resistance, which should be considered when utilizing it.

Remnant 2 can now be enjoyed on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
