Rocky Helmet Effect: Contact Damage Held Item Explained

Rocky Helmet is a held item built around a single clear mechanic: any attacker that makes direct contact with the holder takes damage. That identity shapes how it fits into a build, since its value depends on opponents committing to contact moves.
