Head Armor | Nioh 2 Wiki

Head Armor is an Armor piece in Nioh 2. Head Armors are categorized into three different types - Light, Medium, and Heavy - wherein each piece will have its own value of stats, effects, and/or bonuses. Players can mix and match head armors with other pieces of armor or equip it along with its designated set of armor. Equipping a piece of head armor not only grants defensive properties, but also changes the cosmetic appearance of the player's character.
