Notes
This armor is an interesting piece of equipment that, in comparison to the T13 Hydra Skin Armor, sacrifices 4 DEF and all its DEX for 50 HP, 6 SPD, 3 WIS, and 3 VIT, making it a rather situational armor to use.

The armor is most useful against situations where your defense is meaningless, such as armor piercing attacks or being armor broken, meaning the 50 HP and 6 SPD bonus becomes beneficial. Thus, it can be considered an alternative defensive armor to the Hydra Skin Armor.

It can be quite useful on dagger classes due to their already high dexterity. This makes the loss of 5 DEX compared to Hydra Skin Armor not so bad, because you will already have 75 upon maxing. It pairs great with a ring that compensates its lack of DEF, such as the Ring of the Pyramid or Bracer of the Guardian. The speed can be helpful for rushing, and the health bonus is always welcome. WIS and VIT are negligible but the bonus certainly doesn’t hurt.

It can still be useful when attempting to get 1000+ total HP. When paired up with a Prism of Dancing Swords and a Ring of Decades on a Trickster, you can achieve that goal.

History
