Dance Attire

When to use it

Strictly better than Floral Wraps on every published axis, and the second of the four six-slot armors. Its flavour text calls it a favourite of assassins, which for once agrees with the numbers: six slots plus Low awareness is the stealth-build piece for the back half of the game.

Where it sits in the gear catalogue

• Defense 39 makes it the sixth-toughest of the 14 armor sets catalogued, between Mirror Guard at 45 and Scale Coat at 36.
• It carries six Spirit Stone slots. No catalogued set carries more, which is why a low defence figure here is not the whole cost.
• Its awareness rating is Low, shared with Light Gambeson, Floral Wraps and Ornate Robe.
• In the order the sets become available it is number 10 of 14.
• Its location puts it in Fuji Frontier Zone, in the Mountainous Region — the segment this site indexes as Chapter 6, sixth of the 13 marked segments after the prologue.

Builds using this

• Thunderwave lightning — BltzZ explains it at 01:54
  Chosen for six slots, decent defence and Low awareness — he explicitly wants the stealth grade for assassinations and executions, not just the slot count. The catalogue record has it at Defense 39 with the same six slots and Low awareness.
• Sunrise burn loop — BltzZ explains it at 01:30
  Chosen for six Spirit Stone slots rather than for its own defence, which is the same reason the lightning build swaps armour. Six is the number the whole stone set below depends on.
