The Chicken Hat reduces damage taken from enemies. In the table above, it shows how much damage is taken when attacked by a Ganado on Professional difficulty. To put it clearer, normally you can only take 2 hits from a Ganado without the Chicken Hat. However with it equipped, damage is reduced enough that you can withstand 3 blows.

Best Used for Professional Runs

This damage reduction perk provided by the Chicken Hat makes it an essential accessory for any player who wishes to attempt an S+ playthrough on Professional difficulty.
