The three armor above are the strongest Armor, which are powerful for general use and are worth strengthening. The set effects are also useful in combat and are highly recommended. The Ancient Hero boasts the strongest defense in this work with a stat of 84 at maximum upgrades, while the Barbarian and Fierce Deity are the strongest Armor when it comes to attack with an additional 1.5x Attack Up.
Set Effects That Make Exploring Easier
Set Gear | Set Effects | Set Req. |
---|---|---|
![]() | [Each Part Effect] Climb Speed Up [Set Bonus] Climbing Jump Stamina Up | Enhances the full set equipment by 2 levels (★★) |
![]() | [Each Part Effect] Slip Resistance [Set Bonus] Slip Resistance | Enhances the full set equipment by 2 levels (★★) |

![]() | [Each Part Effect] Energy Up [Set Bonus] Energy Recharge Up | Enhances the full set equipment by 2 levels (★★) |
We recommend a set effect for exploration, which is used more often than any type of armor. Since every Armor will be used for exploration in mamy situations, strengthening it to two levels will enable comfortable exploration.
Attribute Disabling Systems That Are Not Important
Fireproof and Un-freezable would be useful if they were available, but considering how they are used, they are not a high priority. Also, with Lightning Proof, if you have the Lightning Helm, you only need one part.

How To Activate The Set Bonus Effect
Triggered By Matching Armor With 2-Level Upgraded Armor

The set effect is triggered by equipping two-level upgraded Armor of the same Armor Set. The set effect varies from Armor to Armor, and will not be activated when Armor of different types are equipped. Note that some Armor sets have no set effect.
How To Upgrade Armor GuideSome Armor Sets Activate Set Effects Without Upgrades

Some Armor Sets, such as the Dark Set, will activate the set effect if three of them are equipped together even if they are not upgraded.
Gear Armor Effects Differ From One Set Effect

The effect that is activated for each part of the Head, Body, and Leg are different from the set effect that is activated when all three are combined. In the case of Zoras equipment, the Gear effect "Swim Speed Up" is also activated for the Head Armor. On the other hand, the set effect "Swim Dash Stamina Up" does not activate unless all of the Head, Body, and Leg are equipped.
