Caves and Critters - Chapter 9 Page 25
There comes a point in a conversation where you run out of fucks to give; for Arcturius, that was around the point the molten globules of his helmet dripped past his eye-sockets.
Not that he's about to flip his shit and attack or anything, but there's not much point pretending he's 'normal' now. xD

I don't think helmet would melt off when struck by lightning. if anything it would touch the helmet then cover the gab between helmet and armor and then between armor and ground without actually harmimg person wearing the armor anyway even if they were actaually alive.
but then again

The temperature that is generated by passing electricity through something is dependent on how much resistance the object has. Similar to how smaller pipes have more resistance to flowing water, narrower objects have more resistance to electrical current. The head is narrow compared to the chest and would heat up faster. While the head is about as thick as one leg, it would have twice as much electricity passing through it because to current is divided between both legs.
either that or it was magic.

This resistance theory fails to take into account that the armour is not solid, it is hollow. Additionally, there aren't full leg coverings, so the head is probably one of the easier parts to get through (the easiest being the torso, because there *is* more metal.
Most steels have a resistance on the order of 1x10-7 Ωm (Copper for comparison is 1.7x10-8 Ωm, and PVC plastic, an insulator; is 2x1014 Ωm), basically, steel as actually a decent conducter, and would not heat up that quickly. Steel is also used in high voltage power transmission.
Based on all these facts laid out before us, we must assume that it is indeed, magic.
