PoE 2 Unique Helmets

Helmets in Path of Exile 2 are armor pieces that round out a build's defenses and frequently carry build-defining unique mods — minion stats, skill-specific bonuses, or rare keystone effects. Returning chase items like The Vertex sit alongside newer additions that target specific archetypes. This page lists every PoE 2 unique helmet with armor, evasion, and energy shield stats, level and attribute requirements, full mod text, and drop sources.
