💡 Best Armor Tips

For Beginners

Start with Soldier Armor (medium) for balanced stats. It offers good defense without sacrificing too much mobility. Upgrade to Mercenary Set once you reach level 15.

For Aggressive Players

Choose Light Armor like Scout or Ranger Set. High mobility lets you dodge attacks and maintain aggressive pressure. Upgrade to Assassin Garb for maximum speed.

For Tank Builds

Go with Heavy Armor like Iron Plate or Fortress Set. Essential for boss fights and surviving heavy damage. Aim for Dragon Scale as your endgame armor.

Armor Upgrade Priority

Always upgrade your chest piece first (highest defense boost), then legs, then helmet, and finally gloves. This maximizes your defense gains per upgrade material spent.
