Tears of the Kingdom’s Fierce Deity Armor is a Must-Have
The Fierce Deity Armor makes its return to grant players significant buffs to their combat abilities. InBreath of the Wild, this armor set was exclusively locked behind theMajora’s MaskLink amiibo, but inTears of the Kingdom, players can hunt down the pieces within in the game. Based on one of Link’s many masks inMajora’s Mask, each piece of the Fierce Deity Armor inTotKwill increase the player’s attack power by one level.
Including buffs from food or elixirs, players canboost Link’s attack power inTotKup to three times, granting an increase of 20%, 30%, and 50% at each level, respectively. However, wearing all three pieces of the Fierce Diety Armor will max out Link’s attack power, freeing up the player to use consumables for other stats such as defense or movement speed.
The Fierce Deity Armor’s Set Bonus in Tears of the Kingdom
In addition to the whopping 1.5x damage increase (without factoring in any weapon perks), players can improve their combat even more by upgrading the pieces. Afterobtaining the Fierce Deity Armor inTears of the Kingdom, each of the pieces can be taken to one of the game’s Great Fairy Fountains. In exchange for materials and rupees, the Great Fairy will enhance Link’s armor and raise its defensive power up to a maximum of 20 for each piece in the set.
Somearmor sets inTears of the Kingdomwill also gain a new set bonus after all pieces have been upgraded twice. For the Fierce Deity Armor, the Great Fairy will bestow the Charge Atk. Stamina Up set bonus that will cut the stamina usage by all charged weapon attacks in half. It also cuts in half the stamina used while firing arrows mid-air during “bullet time”. With this set bonus, players can deal several powerful blows to an enemy in a row without completely draining Link’s stamina and becoming vulnerable during the recovery period.
As they progress through the game, players finding themselves in more difficult combat situations should plan to get their hands on this armor set as soon as possible through amiibo or theMisko’s Cave of Chests side quest inTotK. While a lot of combat boils down to player preference and ability, the Fierce Diety Armor is an incredibly powerful and well-rounded combat set for any player to have in their toolbox.
