Warding Chimes FAQ
How do Warding Chimes work?+
While active they block all incoming damage. They cost 40 souls with a 15-second cooldown, so keeping them up needs status-duration and soul support: the Awesomeaxe crit build pairs them with the Hivemind Hardhat, which makes positive statuses last 70% longer.
Warding Chimes or Turtle Master's Mandolin?+
The Chimes stop all damage some of the time; the Mandolin halves damage almost all the time, for 20 souls on a 5-second cooldown. The Chimes reward careful soul management, the Mandolin forgives mistakes.

Endgame: A: Blocks all incoming damage while active, about five seconds a use; the usual third artifact next to the Flute and Drums in Awesomeaxe builds. Tradeoff: 40 souls and a 15-second cooldown: needs heavy cooldown reduction.
