How Set Bonuses Reshape Turn Combat
Wearing matching equipment pieces activates powerful synergistic passives called Set Bonuses. While single legendary pieces offer high standalone stats, completing a 4-piece armor set activates game-changing mechanics—such as energy refunds on critical hits, fatal strike absorption, and true damage conversions.

The Blacksmith Forge: Reinforcement & Durability
The Blacksmith NPC is located in the west forge of the Starter Village. Every armor piece can be reinforced up to +5 Quality using Refined Ore and Gold. Each reinforcement rank increases flat DEF by +10% without altering character weight or speed penalties.
Permadeath Durability Rule: Falling in combat degrades armor durability by 20%. If an armor set reaches 0% durability, its set bonus deactivates until repaired at the Blacksmith anvil.
