Basic Information

  • It is recommended to wear the most resistant attire fitting to the situation, namely in more difficult Chalice Dungeons, where specializing in a particular statistic can decide between life and death. Combining the Clockwise Metamorphosis and Lake Runes with optimized Armor will cause a much better experience when traversing harder areas.
  • This especially applies in a Cursed Chalice Dungeons, where your HP is halved. Hunters in Cursed Chalice Dungeons will take reduced Phys damage, but will take elemental/arcane damage as normal, so it will feel like double damage. The following armor combinations make up for the highest stats in their respective stats.

Beasthood
The physical stats for the Armor are
W / X / Y / Z:
  • W is Physical defense, has two special subtypes: blunt and thrust. Each physical attack is either normal physical, blunt, or thrust.
  • X is Blunt defense
  • Y is Thrust defense
  • Z is Blood defense: The Blood attribute dictates how resilient the Armor is to Blood Damage
 The elemental stats for the Armor are
X / Y / Z:
  • X is Arcane defense: The Arcane attribute dictates how resilient the Armor is to Arcane Damage
  • Y is Fire defense: The Fire attribute dictates how resilient the Armor is to Fire Damage
  • Z is Bolt defense: The Bold attribute dictates how resilient the Armor is to Bolt Damage
 The resistance stats for the Armor are
X / Y / Z:
  • X is Slow Poison resistance to slow poisoning. The higher this attribute, the more resistant you are.
  • Y is Rapid Poison resistance to rapid poisoning. The higher this attribute, the more resistant you are.
  • Z is Frenzy resistance to the lure of frenzy. The higher this attribute, the more resistant you are.
 The higher this attribute, the closer you are to beasthood when temporary transformed. Grants a serious increase in ATK power, at the cost of a similarly serious decrease in defense. Points in beasthood thresholds:
  • 1-24: Phys ATK UP x1,2/DEF DOWN x0,8
  • 25-49: Phys ATK UP x1,3/DEF DOWN x0,7
  • 50-99: Phys ATK UP x1,4/DEF DOWN x0,6
  • 100-199: Phys ATK UP x1,5/DEF DOWN x0,5
  • 200-299: Phys ATK UP x1,6/DEF DOWN x0,4
  • 300+: Phys ATK UP x1,7/DEF DOWN x0,2
