Squire's Great Helm

Sturdy helm protection and continuous healing

Purchased from the Tavernkeep for 15 Defender Medals once at least one mechanical boss is defeated. Providing 13 defense, it adds 1 sentry slot and grants passive life regeneration equivalent to 2 health per second. It serves as the defensive helm of the Squire set alongside Squire's Plating and Squire's Greaves, shielding frontline knights from lethal blows during melee brawls.

Ballista panic activation and fortress defense

The full Squire armor set grants 1 additional sentry slot and triggers the Ballista Panic buff upon taking damage, temporarily accelerating Ballista sentry firing rates. Its passive health regeneration makes this helm a popular choice for survival builds during early Hardmode exploration, boss encounters, and cavern spelunking. Deploying Ballista Cane turrets allows players to anchor sturdy defensive lines during pirate raids and goblin sieges while recovering health steadily between incoming hits.
