Ward Helmet
Overview
Ward Helmet is a Mystic item designed to counter magic damage. It provides a large amount of Magic Resistance while also increasing Spell Power, making it one of the most effective defensive items against spellcasters. Unlike many defensive items that sacrifice offensive potential, Ward Helmet allows heroes to become significantly more resistant to magic damage while still improving the power of their abilities.

Stats
Why Use Ward Helmet?
Ward Helmet is the go-to item when facing powerful spellcasters. The item dramatically reduces incoming magic damage, allowing heroes to survive abilities that would otherwise be devastating. At the same time, Ward Helmet increases Spell Power, ensuring that the owner continues to benefit offensively. Since Spell Power improves all abilities in Spelltroum — including abilities that deal Physical Damage — Ward Helmet provides value to a surprisingly wide variety of heroes. Most players do not rush Ward Helmet to maximum level immediately; they often purchase one or two upgrades early for survivability and complete the item later if additional Magic Resistance becomes necessary.
