Light Gambeson
Emma starts in it. Defense 17 is the lowest in the set, but five Spirit Stone slots is more than eight of the thirteen armors that come after it, and Low enemy awareness is better than all but two.

When to use it
The record that shows the armor system is not a ladder. On raw defense this is last, and on slots and stealth it beats most of what replaces it — so swapping into the first strongbox armor you find can be a downgrade in two of the three axes. Check all three before you change.
Where it sits in the gear catalogue
- Defense 17 makes it the fourteenth-toughest of the 14 armor sets catalogued, between Garb of Tranquility at 23 and nothing below it.
- It carries five Spirit Stone slots. Only four of the 14 sets carry more, so the trade this set asks you to make is defence against slot count rather than defence against weight.
- Its awareness rating is Low, shared with Floral Wraps, Dance Attire and Ornate Robe.
- In the order the sets become available it is number 1 of 14.
