Remarks[]

  • A 4-piece armor, it lacks a waist piece. This is not a bad thing though: it already has Runner and 4 open slots, so with a good waist piece it's possible to get any other skill you want. Runner lowers stamina usage when running, charging and demonizing, making it a great armor for Hammers and Dual Swords. It has no other skills though, but it has 8 points in both Cold and Heat Resistance. It also has -8 points in Paralysis, but since only Faint Jewels grant additional negative points in Paralysis, it's not something to worry about. Even though the armor grants 34 defense per piece, the highest average for any Rarity 3 armor, with 4 piece it still has a lower defense then most armors unless a waist piece is added.
  • Though there are a lot of good combinations with this armor, these are the most notable. Generally it's better to switch the Torso, because it grants only +1 Stamina, the same as 1 Marathon Jewel. Using the Hornet Mail and Waist, inserting 4 Earplug Jewels and 1 Marathon Jewel will activate Runner and Earplug. Using the Lobster Mail and Waist with 4 Evade Jewels and 1 Marathon Jewel will grant Evade +1 and Runner. Using the Hermitaur Mail and Waist with 5 Defense Jewels grant Defense +20, and with 1 weapon slot and a Marathon Jewel it grants Runner and 37,2 defense per piece on average.
  • A recommendation to get for Dual Swords and Hammer users and when it's combined with the right pieces, it's great armor to use throughout Low Rank. It can be difficult to get though and pretty frustrating to defeat all the Plesioth needed for the whopping 12 Plesioth Scales needed, but the time spent won't be in vain.
