| Cobalt Helmet | 10 × Cobalt Bar | Iron Anvil |
Warforged helmet and early frontline defense
Constructed from 10 Cobalt Bar ingots at an Iron Anvil or Lead Anvil, the Cobalt Helmet provides 14 defense for warriors. It increases melee damage by 15% and raises movement speed by 10%. Among the three Cobalt headpieces, this helmet supplies the highest individual armor rating, protecting close-range brawlers against punishing enemy strikes upon first entering hardmode.
Melee swing acceleration and mobility
Equipping this helmet alongside Cobalt Breastplate and Cobalt Leggings brings total protection to 32 defense while triggering a set bonus that increases melee attack speed by 15%. This swing acceleration allows swords, spears, and yoyos to strike briskly, keeping approaching cavern foes suppressed. Compared to Palladium Mask, which grants health regeneration, the Cobalt melee configuration emphasizes swing speed and agile footwork to defeat early hardmode threats.
Trivia
- Provides 14 defense, offering nearly triple the armor value of its ranged counterpart.
- The complete melee set grants a 15% boost to melee swing speed.
