Stumbled upon your video, figured i'd do a quick breakdown as i watch. 7. Moth armor- Only thing really worth while is the bleed for most builds. 6. Black Ox Armor- This set is extremely underrated, in the sense of Charged attacks being across the board. The sleek effect can be stacked for 38% charge time reduction, which is useful when paired with Staves. Maybe a usefulness with charged shot builds with the Bard Bow? 5. Fire Ant Armor- Since the nerf, the best thing about this set is the corrosion effect causing enemies to take more damage. With it being for melee builds, instead of dumping all your effort into the armor, just use the shield. The shield has a higher chance to proc the corrosion debuff, while opening up build possibility. 4. Ant Lion armor- If you prefer to play ranged and just non-stop lobbing arrows, it reduces crossbow reload from 2.8s to about 1.5s. It really doesn't have any affect on bows, so it is particularly niche, but the black ox crossbow has some of the best damage for physical ranged attacks. Mighty allows for more damage reduction while still getting the buff in reload speed. 3. Black Widow armor- This armor set is definitely a contender that deserved to be in the top 3. Black Widow Dagger, Poison damage increases, plus assassin perk allowing you to stack bleed too, nothing should be able to escape you. Just get used to blocking any chance you get! As you stated, swap the hood to the brood mother helmet. Poison, Poison Coating, Venom Coating, Bleed, and Corrosion (If you use a fire ant shield). If you want to stack debuffs while still dealing decent chunk of damage, focus the rest of your build towards Critical Hits and Critical Damage. This makes you essentially a one man army. 2. Mantis Armor- Bleed damage? Crit upon crit? The best idea is to stack this armor with daggers. The Mantis Scythe is surprising considered a dagger! With the speed at which you're attacking, you are guaranteed to crit fairly often. Trapper Peep'r and the Scythe both have Yoked Blows, The set increases crit chance, you're applying bleeds left and right. If i'm being honest, 3 piece Assassin, Black Widow Dagger for the constant attacks, Trapper Peep'r, and stack as much crit as you can and you'll be nearly unstoppable. Unlike other DoTs (Poison every 3s, Poison/Venom Coating every 5s), Bleed damage ticks every second! Combine Assassin armor, Black Widow Dagger, and perks like Assassin and Trapper Peep'r, you'll be standing in a goopy mess with how many bleeds you will be applying. 1. Roly Poly Armor- This armor is a tanks bread and butter. Applying stun on block, as well as increasing block gauge? If you're solo, the defensive bonus is enough to skyrocket this armor. In Group play, you become the designated target! You can run 1h/shield or 2h barbarian with it, allowing yourself to be a more versatile frontliner. The blocking strength paired with say... Parry Master and Corporate Kickback? You would have to literally stand there doing nothing to lose. This is just my input on each of the sets, and i believe you should look outside of the box a lil bit. Something that may seem weaker, paired with proper trinkets and mutations, can carry you through the entire game. Personally i start with an early Spider build for debuffs and DoT, then motivate into Black Widow or Mantis. Recently i've been playing a more tank role with my group, so Roly Poly has quickly become a favorite. If i dabble with Ranged, I have to go with Ant Lion and the crossbow. Having the ability to lob Bomb Arrows every 1.5s just feels so satisfying. For Magic, i go with Black Ox armor for the charge reduction. What says fun more than twice as many fire balls being lobbed? End of the day, feel free to mix and match different armor sets, trinkets, and weapons to find a play style that suits you!

@@cygnusx-1256 I have been experimenting and except vs bosses (mostly cause you can’t lol) I find myself trying to avoid attacks while using staves, as such the wizards hat just doesn’t do enough. I think I’m liking the full ox armour’s faster charge time vs the small chance to bleed or the very seldom extra damage from parrying from the hat. (And I feel stupid purposely making myself get hit so I can use the hat)

one thing ive noticed now in the new update is running mantis armor with a friend running fire ant is insane, bleed basically gets 5x damage from the fire ant corrosion effect making double bleed deal around 3 bars of damage to most creatures in a second, the only downside is you need a friend most of the time as testing with swapping out pieces you cant get the extra bleed often enough without 2 pieces of mantis but then you cant get the corrosion enough so its better to just have a friend

Pretty sure you said it toward the end, but I think that the Roly Poly is sufficient for those who aren't willing to grind for the other sets. After all, the game can be completed without bothering with Mantis or Widow armor, so for those who are just trying to get through, it would be the most efficient. Fire Ant would be the other good choice though for the same purpose. I personally wish that earlier armors could have a tier upgrade later in the game, because I would have loved to used Koi armor in the late game. I have heard that the Tier itself has a great impact on defense, so you short yourself by sticking to early armors.. unless this was proven to be false?

@@danielbabcock7004 I’ve since learned that a fully upgraded lady bug absorbs the same damage as a fully maxed rlly Polly because there’s a minimum damage threshold and both armours hit it. So while Rolly, in theory, could protect more, in practice it doesn’t. There’s an amazingly in-depth explanation of the mechanics in Reddit if anyone cares to google it. This makes lady bug the premiere armour imho, with its healing bonus. Brood mother is stupid easy with tiger rapier and lady bug. Pop bandage, pop sticky slop, done. Just bring a spicy staff for the spawns, or a few bombs. I like using a +dmg candy with the fast swinging rapier. +15 damage per swing when you swing multiple times a second adds up.

I have medium size bases in different areas. When I zipline into a base I change accordingly. So my sandbox HQ for instance I will suit up in antlion armor. Wheelbarrow HQ black ox and wizard hat. Termite HQ Broodmother helm and blackwidow armor. Lilly pad HQ my dive set.

Roly poly is my fav because I'm used to playing DPS and Tank roles, so I switch back and forth, but in this game idk why but being a Main Tank really had it's appeal to me. Being able to tank everything and bash them with a mace or axe or maul and a shield. Black widow and mantis I like but don't have yet, so I'm using roly poly mainly til I can get it. Plus nothing beats running around looking like a Centurion tanking giant bugs.

Hey what about ladybug armor no love for that that's like my personal end game armor especially if you do it with the one card that gives heal on Perris, with a tiger mosquito rapier or a sword with the swordmaster mutation because that counteracts the cards more damage taken by the mutation reducing damage of incoming attack and upgrade the armor to max to lean more into heal on block you can just keep healing throughout battles and never go down

Did you ever find out what the debuff is? I can't find the answer anywhere.

I run Roly Poly while my bud has upgraded to Roly legs, termite king chest, and mother demon helm. He's the dps, I'm the tank - and we can both appreciate the constant stunning i get off with mother demon club level 9. He gets more time dpsing while I draw agro and we can always swap aggro if someone needs to pop a few heals and get a quick mental reset after almost going down. It's pretty nice. Being the only (?) Heavy armor in tier 3 means really good defenses, and running barbarian with bandies popped means I come out of most fights full HP - even when I start some damaged. The low stamina isn't great, but beefy green machine and cardio fan with buff lungs does a lot to help. I promise we're gamers - haven't had Mantis just yet to try out but we're getting there!

Moth set in 7th place? OP imo with any bow and arrow and sharpshooter at lvl 3.

I prefer Roly Poly because I'm not all that skilled at the game XD So the ability to have some extra block is very, very attractive, especially as a solo player. While Mantis and Black Widow sets are overall better, they are incredibly difficult for casual players to get - the black widows are ridiculous with literally having no weaknesses, something I really on heavily when fighting different insects >_>
