Adaptive Helm enables

  • The physical-defense stat that reduces incoming AD damage. Tank items, Bastion-style traits, and ability bodies that read "Gain X Armor" or "Your team gains X Armor" all land here, alongside the handful of cards that scale a bonus off the unit's Armor value.

  • The magic-defense stat that reduces incoming AP damage. Many sustain items, Bastion-style frontline traits, and "Gain X Armor and Magic Resist" effects grant or scale off it; the inverse — Shred — reduces it.

  • Scales with Ability Power. Damage and effect magnitudes that read "(scales with AP)" target this mechanic.

  • The unit-level resource that gates ability casts. Mana-gen items, on-cast refunds, and starting-mana augments all key off this mechanic.
