Specifically, it boasts an armor value of 704 which significantly increases your defences.

• Bone Storm Synergy: A unique ability of this item lies in its interaction with Bone Storms. When active, it has a chance (5-25%) to spawn another Bone Storm when it hits an enemy outside of your current storm. The boosts in offense and defense are huge.

 

↖ Strategy and Tips

• Utilize for Defense: It is better suited for those who would like a tankier or defensive playstyle. This makes it perfect for players who come across strong enemies due to its blocking ability and armor contribution.
