So without further delay, let’s get started! 🚀
1. Best Armor Set at the beginning of high rank
If you are below level 15 in High Rank , you should continue using the best Low Rank armor . Here is a strong starting setup :
- Guardian Arcv (Helmet, Chest, Gloves)
- Guardian Allgar (Belt)
- Guardian Wos (Legs)
Skills you get from this set:
✅ Flare (Level 3) – Helps to inflict Wounds quickly.
✅ Burst (Level 1) – Increases damage output.
✅ Weakness Exploit (Level 1) – Increases the chance of critical hits when you attack a monster’s weak spots.
However, Weakness Exploit only becomes more beneficial once you level it up to level 5. But in the beginning, the Burst skill will be most helpful as it gives a free damage boost .
2. Guardian Fulger Angan Set (Best for high rank mid-game)
You should switch to the Guardian Fulger Angan armor set shortly after . The main advantages of this set include:

✅ Second Wind (Set Bonus – 2 Pieces Required)
➡️ It gives an additional stamina gauge , increasing the uptime of stamina-dependent skills.
➡️ It is extremely useful for Maximum Might build , as it can give free 30% affinity .
🔥 Best Weapon Choice: This set is very useful for Long Sword, Sword & Shield users, but it will not be beneficial for Bow users.
3. Ajarakan Gaves Beta – Part Breaker and Wounds Mechanism
If you want to break monsters’ parts quickly, then Ajarakan Gaves Beta is a great option.
✅ Part Breaker (Level 2) – It helps to quickly break the monster’s breakable parts.
✅ Great combination with Flare – Flare and Part Breaker stack together, allowing you to wound faster and farm more parts.
Pro Tip: Using this armor set can help you get better materials from Tempered Monsters , which are needed for artisan weapon crafting.
