Ancient Hallowed Helmet

Classic marksman visor and altar forging

Forged using Hallowed Bar ingots at a Demon Altar or Crimson Altar, or obtained by tossing a modern Hallowed Helmet into Shimmer, this headpiece provides 9 defense. It enhances ranged damage by 15% and increases ranged critical strike chance by 8%, giving marksmen sharp precision and ammunition power during mid-Hardmode boss hunts and mechanical battles.

Periodic attack evasion and ranged spacing

Wearing this piece with modern or ancient Hallowed body and leg armor triggers the Holy Protection set bonus upon striking an enemy. The ability to negate an incoming attack every 30 seconds affords ranged players a protective cushion when dodging projectiles from Plantera or the mechanical bosses, ensuring safe spacing during drawn-out battles. The invulnerability frame prevents lethal combo strikes in crowded arenas and invasion events. The 30-second barrier provides peace of mind when lining up sniper shots or firing repeaters across long sky arenas.
