			'''Gimli's Helm''' is a potent possession that serves two purposes. First, it's a protection against [[Damage\|Damage +X]] and minions that [[direct wounding\|wound him with abilities]] in the [[skirmish phase]]. Secondly, in later [[format]]s, Gimli's Helm can deflect an entire stack of [[threat]]s, as long as they're triggered by a character dying in the skirmish phase.

	Gimli's Helm is a ~~potent possession that shields him~~ from ~~all Damage + 1~~ minions and, ~~as such~~, is ~~extremely effective against Uruk-hai~~, all of ~~whom are damage + 1~~, ~~as well as Cave Troll~~ of ~~Moria~~, ~~SoTBP~~ and ~~any version~~ of the ~~Balrog~~. It also ~~acts as a failsafe~~, ~~making~~ Gimli ~~very hard~~ to ~~kill~~. ~~Additionally~~, ~~multiple copies of~~ this card ~~can be stocked without being wasteful~~, ~~as you~~ can just discard the copy in play and ~~put out~~ another one next turn. ~~Note that it only prevents~~ Gimli ~~from taking more than 1 wound; if you discard Dwarven Bracers~~ to ~~prevent a wound, Gimli does not count as having taken~~ any wounds, ~~so a subsequent wound will still affect him. On the other hand, this card is also effective against enemies such~~ as ~~Orc Soldier; if they exert to wound, they will not cause~~ a ~~wound from winning the~~ skirmish.		[[Uruk-hai]] and many large minions like {{Card\|Cave Troll, Scourge of the Black Pit}} and the [[Balrog]] are often Damage +X. This reduces all of that to one wound per skirmish, making a sufficiently well-armed and -[[pump]]ed Gimli a good option to stave off the Balrog or monsters like {{Card\|Uruk Vanguard}}. Even if they're playing {{Card\|Whip of Many Thongs}}, you can discard the Helm before the Shadow player gets a chance to discard it, preventing all of the wounds from the first skirmish.

			The Helm also works against skirmish phase [[direct wounding]], most notably from {{C\|Sauron}} minions like {{Card\|Orc Soldier}}, {{C\|Raider}} events like {{Card\|Whirling Strike}}, and [[Ninja Gollum]] staple cards like {{Card\|They Stole It}}. No matter how many different effects would wound Gimli in that skirmish, including abilities, cards, and the actual skirmish resolution, he only takes one wound total. That doesn't make these cards useless! If the Orc Soldier is going to lose the skirmish anyway, one wound is more than zero. But it does prevent Ninja Gollum decks from killing Gimli from full health.

			Starting with [[King Block]], this card takes on a whole new role. Previously, taking many wounds during a single skirmish was fairly rare. [[Threat]]s changed that. Gimli can discard the Helm during the skirmish where a [[character]] is obviously about to die, then absorb all of the threat wounds harmlessly. Combine this with disposable characters like {{Card\|Sam, Son of Hamfast}} or {{Card\|Thrarin, Dwarven Smith}}, and it's one of the strongest ways to clear your threats. This effect is especially important against [[Ninja Gollum]], because preventing all those threat wounds also prevents them from triggering {{Card\|Promise Keeping}}. Many [[Movie Block]] decks already use {{Card\|Gimli, Bearer of Grudges}} for his higher strength and access to {{Card\|Shoulder to Shoulder}}, {{Card\|Blood Runs Chill}}, and {{Card\|Preparations}}/{{Card\|Slaked Thirsts}}, so Gimli's Helm is easy to include on top of that. {{C\|Dwarven}} decks can run {{Card\|From the Armory}} instead, as it serves a similar role, but the two cards are about comparable.

			While this card is [[unique]], it's usually fine to run multiple copies. You can just discard the copy in play and play another one the next turn. You can do this even if Gimli isn't about to take any wounds, as long as there's a skirmish phase.
