Iron Head Effect

Iron Head In-Game.jpg

Has the user barrel in the designated direction, dealing damage to any opposing Pokémon it hits. Also increases the boost count by one, and the user protects itself with a special shield for a short time afterward. This shield doesn’t protect the user from hindrances, but it can nullify damage. When the shield blocks an attack, it disappears and the user’s boost count is increased by one.

How to Use Iron Head

Jump into Fights!

Iron Head grants two to Aegislash's boost count when done correctly; the first one is guaranteed while the second only happens when attacked.

Know When to Switch Stance

Knowing whether you should switch stances or not can make a difference in a fight's outcome. If your trying to survive, consider staying in Shield Forme to heal on each boosted attack. If your trying to burst down targets, switching to Blade Forme is the best move.

Iron Head Patch History

1.7.1.7 Cooldown reduction from blocking an attack increased.
1.14.1.5 Cooldown reduced from 7s to 6s.
