The One Helmet to rule them all: a visual guide to Helmets in Destiny

So DLC is coming next week, Xur will once again tease us with presenting new toys and giving the option to resetbuff old ones. For Players new to Destiny this can be confusing. Here is a handy overview for all Guardians to help decide which of their helmets should get special treatment or when encountered in Xurs Repertoire should be bought immediately or can be passed, due to better options. Currently Hunters have imo the best Helmets in Destiny. [b]Mask oft the 3rd Man[/b] might be the best overall-PVP Helmet because all his perks are tailored to make the Bladedancer even more Devastating. [b]Achlyophage Symbiote[/b] comes close if you prefer a Gunslinger, has also a Super that allows desstroying Oracles in the Vault of Glass easily. [b]Knucklehead-Radar[/b] wins the Price of being the best Helmet in PvE and also takes the Trophy for best Overall Helmet, he gives the User almost instant super reload when wielding the Relic in the Raid and a Third Eye in ADS that prevents death from shotgunsneakers while surosing around. These helmets superior status is imo only threatened by the Arrival of the brandnew Warlock Helmet [b]Obsidian Mind[/b]. Rumours have it that it could dominate both PvP and PvE with its potential to produce a „String of cursed Novabomclusters“ (Bad Juju could learn sth.). I am excited to see how it turns out. Currently Helm of Inmost Light and Apotheosis Veil are best choice for Warlocks and Titans. Different Opinions? Edit: Got multiple responses from experienced Titan Players that prefer Helm of Saint-14, maybe it depends a lot on which subclass you prefer. Any Strikers who would vouch for Inmost Light?

    • Saint-14 is great for defenders but inmost light has treated me really well with a few tweaks my striker has better outright defense over the defender class which makes it bearable in tougher missions as you can super and bail and get it back very fast for some lather rinse repeat action...but when push comes to shove the broom comes out and we clean up the mess.

      • There are so many oversights in your "evaluation" it's laughable. Knucklehead radar is best PVP helm. Apotheosis veil is integral for running flawless raid attempts light beyond nemesis excels at 3v3 revive game types.

      • Helm of saint 14 if you don't have exotic chest. Obviously if you are not running striker.

        With the exception of third man I don't agree with your Hunter ratings . Who the hell needs knucklehead for PvE? No one! I would give Knucklehead a 1, possibly nothing, in PvE and a 2 in PvP, a 2 for being viable but not the best choice for any spec. Symbiote should be 3 in both niches.

            The Knucklehead Radar is my favorite one! It will definitely get the upgrade from Xur. I love having it for the raid. Edit: Sweet chart man!

            • My favourite aside from raid gear for a 'lock is Light Beyond Nemesis. Don't care too much for Apotheosis Veil.

              Helm of Saint-14 is the best Titan Helmet, by far. And I main as a Striker with HoIL. But when I play defender it's no contest. No exotic gloves or chest, gotta use that Saint.

              • Dire skull for void walker, heart of praxis fire for sun singer. Symbiote for gunslinger, why would anyone use blade dancer in pve? Helm of inmost light for striker, helm of saint 14 for defender. /thread.

                • What's obsidian mind do? And i think skull fort is a better helm then inmost light. I don't think warlocks have any good helms. The 2 chest pieces are much better. except I think skull of dire ahamkara might be better for a void walker (at least in pvp) then the vestments.

                  • They'd never allow multiple nava bombs, that would be majorly op, and if they did it would be out the game in a week after all the complaining.

                    • You had me until you said knucklehead is the best/most useful in the game. Granted its an opinion, but symbiote is MUCH better and more versatile, and 3rd man is only really useful for pvp IMO. I just don't understand how having radar all the time is more useful or apparently makes it trump all other helmets (I have all three characters and that's the exotic helm I probably get the least use out of).

                        • I do love Knucklehead but the More Super From Killing Enemies is also a perk for the Raid helmet. And if you use the Raid Helmet with Young Ahamkara's Spine you also get more Super Energy from grenade kills which seems like the best overall setup. So basically the Raid helmet currently is the best helmet because it not only gives you more super from kills but also opens a slot to get more super from grenades as well.

                          • For me: The best Titan Helmet is the Helm of Saint - 14. I actually just dismantled the one you mentioned

                            Umm why Helm of Saint 14 so low? It should have 3 stars in PVE that thing locks down middle area during normal or Hard confluxes(sometimes I just solo while my warlock buddy glides to the left or right confluxes) and also blinds the praetorians from sacrificing themselves during gatekeeper and is great on nightfalls when light switch is on. I honestly prefer my Armamentarium but I always use that helm for VOG. Other than that I agree with the hunters helms being the best. Wish titans got more exotic helm love :3

                              TLDR: Hunters have the best exotic Helmets. Especially "Knucklehead-Radar" is a nobrainer to invest 2 shards in it to make it Crota-fit. New Obsidian Mind Helmet of Warlocks is a potential new Topdog.
