The best armor for Damiane in the Rapier and Shield makes use of her starter equipment in Chapter 3, which consists of the full Demenissian Elite Uniform set to provide us with more damage and defenses as you progress into mid-game. Make sure to refine your equipment whenever you can to prevent any damage fall-offs once you reach later Chapters.
