The Damascus Coil has a base defense of 56, has two decoration slots, and comes equipped with the Wide Range and Recovery Up Equipment Skills.
Not only does the Damascus Coil allow the user to gain more health through potions, but it also makes them a better teammate due to the Wide Range skill. This allows the user to heal their teammates, cure allies' ailments, etc. with their own items.
