Creating a Champion

Ancient Set

This armor was developed by Robbie at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab using Guardian parts. It requires a large quantity of ancient materials to create.

The Ancient Set is an Armor Set consisting of the Ancient Helm, Ancient Cuirass, and Ancient Greaves. Each piece of the Ancient Set can be purchased at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab where Ancient Oven will construct them from various ancient materials.

Each piece of the Ancient Set reduces the damage taken from Guardians and Weapons with the Ancient Technology property. Wearing the Armor Set provides the Ancient Proficiency Set Bonus, which increases damage from all ancient Weapons by 80%. In addition to its useful bonuses, the Armor has a very high defense level, on par with the Soldier's Set.
