Warrior's Pauldron (Right)

The Warrior's Pauldron (Right) is a single-shoulder armor piece for the misc slot with a purely defensive line: +3 Max Health and +3% Melee Defense. That defense percentage ties the highest melee defense documented on any misc equipment, making the right pauldron a serious pick against physical damage despite its simple look.

Interestingly, it is not a mirror of its partner: the Warrior's Pauldron (Left) trades defense for bulk, carrying +9 Max Health but only +2% Melee Defense. The right pauldron is the mitigation shoulder, the left the health shoulder - and since they are separate misc items, which one (or whether both can be worn, if the game allows multiple misc pieces) depends on your loadout's needs. Community documentation records them as separate cards with distinct stats rather than variants of one item.

Both pauldrons drop from various chests across the game, so they surface naturally over time rather than from a targeted farm. No drop rate, level requirement or weight is documented. Like all equipment, one of the 13 modifiers can roll on it - Sturdy (+11% Melee Defense) would make the right pauldron a dedicated anti-melee piece - and a Tailor rerolls for 400-500 Soul Tokens.
