❓ Armor FAQ

What is the best armor in The Forge?

Wolf Armor is the best overall with 132 total defense, +30% attack speed, and +10% lifesteal. However, Samurai Armor is better for pure damage builds with its +25% crit chance.

Does weight affect combat?

Yes! Higher weight = slower movement and dodge speed. For boss fights where dodging is critical, consider using lighter armor like Samurai over Knight.

Can I mix armor pieces from different sets?

You can, but you'll lose the Set Bonus. It's generally better to wear a complete set unless specific pieces have much better stats.
