Best armor sets

With so many armor sets to choose from in the game, it can be a bit overwhelming trying to decide which one to use especially if you want the very best ones equipped. We’ve got a rundown of the best armor sets available below:

Diablos set

The biggest benefit to using the Diablos armor set is the Partbreaker skill that comes with it which will increase your damage against specific parts of a monster, therefore decreasing their durability. It’s a great skill to have if you’re looking to farm specific monster parts which is why we rank this set highly.

Rathalos set

The Rathalos armor set is extremely effective thanks to the Attack Boost and Weakness Exploit skills you can unlock for it. An additional boost to your damage coupled with the ability to hone directly in on a monster’s weakness will have you taking down even the toughest foes in no time.

Kulu set

Finally, the Kulu set comes with the Lock On skill and Critical Eye, the latter of which boosts your Affinity, and in turn, affects your critical hit chances so it’s a great choice if you want to hit enemies as hard as you possibly can.
