In the mystical realm of Black Myth: Wukong, headgear isn't just fashion – it's survival magic! πŸ’βš‘ While unlocking armor upgrades requires reaching Chapter Three's Zodiac Village and befriending the Yin Tiger blacksmith, some standalone helms pack such punchy perks they'll make you ditch matching sets. Among 19 options, these six crown jewels deliver game-changing effects whether you're dodging demons or farming materials. Forget 'outfits of the day' – this is about 'helms of destiny'! πŸ’₯
