Summary
Dragon’s Dogma 2has an expansive armor collection for players to choose from. Each piece of armor, whether it be for the legs, body, or head, comes with a base set of stats that determine its general effectiveness as well as its effectiveness against particular damage types. With Magick attacks being a constant source of danger, it is a good idea to invest in some armor that will combat this directly.
This list will explore the best options forMagick Defenseand explain where and how to get them. Some are available early in the game and some won’t become available until the endgame. Players should, therefore, save up their gold and get ready toacquire the following armorat the earliest opportunity.
7Runic Gaiters
Price Is Hard To Justify
Crafted from Sacred Cloth, theRunic Gaitersoffer the best magick defense of any piece of leg armor. The 110 in this stat will provide a terrific boost to themain piece of body armorequipped. It is also useful in that it can be equipped for a variety of vocations, and is thus available to more players.
For 56,000 gold, it is not cheap. For players who aren’t willing to shell out the coin, it is suggested that they find and kill a Lich to get a 14% chance of this armor dropping. Lichs can only be found at nighttime, so wait for darkness to fall. One can be found roaming around theTomb of Ja’Nuwa.
6Ring Of Conservation
A Must-Have For Magick Defense
This ring is essential for those who wish to prioritize magick defense. Players can achieve 50 extra points in this stat without having to do that much. It is easily accessible for all players, and providesa sizable boostthat could be the difference in close fights.
Although you’re able to buy the ring for 5000 gold from shops such asGrisha’s Armoryin Sacred Arbor, players can also find the ring in two other locations: a chest behind theReverent Shrineand a chest insideThe Gracious Hand’s Vaults.
5Edified Vestment
Resist & Deal Magick Damage
The Edified Vestment is a piece of body armor that, alongside a strong magick and overall defense, is on this list because of the resistances that it grants players. InDragon’s Dogma 2,Silenceis a condition that can render those affected unable to speak and, thus, cast spells. The Edified Vestment gives the wearer 30% increased resistance to this condition. Therefore, players will able to resist magick damage and still deal their own.
Like theRunic Gaiters, this armor can be dropped from a defeatedLichfor a drop chance of 16.67% If players aren’t having much luck with the liches, it can also be purchased for 75,000 gold.
4Arch-Conjuror’s Robe
An Extra Layer Of Protection
The other effects of this armor boost the very high magick defense of 182. It also provides a 15% increase inLightningdamage resistance. Because many Magick wielders deploy attacks in the form of Lightning damage, this piece provides two lines of protection against these foes.
It can be acquired fromBrokkr’s Smithyin the endgame for 75,000 gold, or from looting aLesser Dragon. Defeating one of these will net the player a 16% chance ofgetting this armor.
3Sacral Robe
Master of None
The Sacral Robe is a jack of all trades regarding Magick damage resistance. It has increased elemental resistance to Ice, Fire, and Lightning damage, as well as debilitation resistance increases in Torched, Frostbite, Silence, and Blighted. Each increase is only 5%, but creates a stronger layer of resistance to many types of magick damage.
If this catches the eye, save up 70Wyrmslife crystalsto purchase this armor in the endgame from the Bay Wayside Shrine.
2Cardinal Robe
Sacrifice Defense For Magick Defense
Although this armor has a weaker overall defense than many on this list, it trades this off for a very high 200 magick defense. If players take a liking to this armor, they can increase their magick defense to a maximum of 309 if they use theElvensmithing method.
The Cardinal Robe can be bought fromBrokkr’s Smithyfor 75,000 gold in the endgame, or looted from thebody of a LichinIlldoer’s Resting Place. As a bonus, this armor is one of the more aesthetically pleasing items on the list.
1Charming Corset
Available to All, Regardless Of Vocation
The Charming Corset is, by far, the armor piece with the highest magick defense inDragon’s Dogma 2. This magick defense can even, if the Elven enhancement style is used, be raised to a maximum of 411. This should keep players sufficiently protected from all types of magick attacks.
Players can acquire this armor without spending any gold. To do so, will need tofind and save150 seeker tokens. Once this is done, exchange them at theVocations Guildfor this armor piece and anything else on offer.
