Each Nephilim equips four Armor pieces. Some pieces belong to larger sets, and matching Gear can specialize a build for high-risk offense, defense, survival, or another playstyle.

How Armor Sets Work

Armor contributes Core Stats and can carry Boons. When comparing sets, look at each piece's effects and how the pieces work together, not only at their raw defense.

Armor found during a Run must be secured through a Nexus Gate or carried to Mission completion before its purified version joins the Armory.

The Boon effect catalog helps you compare what a piece actually adds to your attacks or defenses.

Confirmed Armor Sets and Sources

A set name does not establish its stats or set bonuses. Sources not documented in the catalog remain unspecified. “Epic” is the catalog’s source label for Epoch; it is not treated here as a quality tier. If you already have an armor code, follow the redemption instructions.

Armor Quality

Armor follows the five Equipment Quality levels: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Quality strengthens base attributes and can improve Boons that scale with the Gear.

Higher difficulty raises the minimum and maximum Quality available from drops. Gajov upgrades purified pieces in Sanctus Clypeus.

Building Around an Armor Set

Official build guidance describes Armor Sets that support different playstyles, including aggressive high-risk play and heavier defensive setups. Start with the behavior a set rewards, then choose a Weapon Art, Trinkets, Boons, and an Angel that reinforce the same plan.

Do not break up a coherent build because several pieces share a set name. Compare their active effects, the number of pieces required for each bonus, and what the remaining Gear slots must provide. In co-op, a defensive set can create room for a partner to focus on damage or status application.

Collecting and Improving Sets

Armor acquired during a Run remains at risk until it passes through a Nexus Gate or reaches Mission completion. Once its purified version enters the Armory, it can be used in future starting Loadouts and upgraded with Gold. Higher difficulty expands the Quality range that can drop, making set collection part of long-term progression.

Use the kept-and-lost checklist to check which pieces are secured before taking a risky fight.

Stats and Set Bonuses Still Incomplete

Do not infer bonuses from names

The four-piece composition and many acquisition sources are documented, but complete per-piece stats, Boon rolls, bonus thresholds, drop rates, and upgrade costs are not. A reliable tier list still requires hands-on testing.
