Progression, practical choices and current mode rules.

Detailed set pages

  • Eight sets below have threshold tables; the other entries remain practical overviews rather than a complete equipment catalogue.

Crimson Fiend → · Fallen Guardian → · Fallen Lord → · Golden → · Deep Shadow → · Radiant Darkness → · Defier → · Netherworld Abyss → · Soul Eater → · Fugitive Mage → · Unending Tragedy → · Fleshripper → · Faded Memories → · Master of Chaos →

Choose a play style first

  • This is a selection of useful sets, not a complete equipment catalogue. English names help match inventory entries.

  • Choose your main damage skill before committing to a set. Check the active piece bonuses; random boss loot may require repeat clears, while an unlocked crafting recipe offers another route.

Greatsword sets

  • Crimson Fiend supports a charged-attack and Mortal Blow direction; check drops and its crafting scroll.

  • Fugitive Mage is associated with Bellerian in Rephalan Mountains and an Armor Breaker / Heart Piercer direction.

  • Chaos-Ridden is associated with Maluca in Nadin Quarry; consider a Brink Guard / Volcanic Wrath approach.

  • Devourer of Darkness is associated with Aratra in Skoffa Cave and the Man-Eating Spider scroll; inspect its Ghost Arm: Block and poison effects.

Spear and Dual Wield sets

  • Golden is a Spear option to inspect for Moonlight and Trance synergy; look for drops or its crafting scroll.

  • Fallen Lord is associated with Viper in Embars Ruins; inspect Full Moon and Spiral Thrust bonuses.

  • Deep Shadow is a Spear option for Assault and Afterimage Thrust; check drops and its recipe.

  • Master of Chaos is associated with Ozma in Imperial Palace and a Dual Wield / Phantom Sword Dance direction. The June 2025 update renamed related equipment, so older guides may differ.

  • Unending Tragedy is associated with the princess and theatre, supporting Dual Wield hits and resource recovery around dodging.

Challenge rewards and anniversary gear

  • Radiant Darkness received timed damage bonuses tied to Brink Guard and Brink Dodge in June 2025. It suits players who can trigger those defensive actions consistently.

  • Defier includes Brink Dodge healing and stacking Potent Blow damage effects. Netherworld Abyss has counterattack Spirit recovery, charged-attack and Spirit-skill stamina-damage effects. Check the inventory for active piece thresholds.

  • These reward sets use Ultimate Challenge tokens. Stalker, Doom and Wrath sold inside Berserker’s Bloodshed instead use challenge-specific random options.

  • Immortal Fury is the 2026 anniversary gift for main-game owners: collect it from the Crevice mailbox after Mission 2. It contains armor and all three weapon types. The announcement does not provide a complete numerical bonus table.
