Best Weapons and Armor Per Character
Prince of Midenhall
| Best Build | |
|---|---|
| Weapon | Erdrick's Supreme Sword Attack: 228 Effect: When used in battle, it deals heavy damage to a single enemy and greatly lowers their spell resistance and Defence. |
| Shield | Erdrick's Supreme Shield Defence: 131 Effect: Reduces incoming spell and breath damage. When used as an item in battle, it removes all negative effects and reflects both spells and breath attacks. |
| Headgear | Liquid Metal Helm Defence: 92 Effect: Reduces incoming spell and breath damage. |
| Armour | Liquid Metal Armour Defence: 136 Effect: Reduces incoming spell and breath damage. |
| Accessory 1 | Mighty Armlet Status Boost: Strength +16 |
| Accessory 2 | Mark of Erdrick Status Boost: Luck + 30 Effect: Negates insta-death attacks and spells. |
The Prince of Midenhall thrives on raw power and durability, so his best setup focuses on maximizing both offense and defence and the Erdrick’s Sword and Shield makes up for that.
With the Liquid Metal set bolstering his survivability, he can stay at the frontlines even against the strongest bosses.
Alternative Equipment
| Headgear | Erdrick's Helm Defence: 76 Effect: Raises resistance to sleep, confusion, dazzle, paralysis, and instant death. Also boosts the power of lightning-based spells and abilities. |
|---|---|
| Armour | Erdrick's Armor Defence: 118 Effect: Gradually restores HP with each step. Nullifies floor damage and reduces damage from spells and breath attacks. |
| Accessory 1 | Banishing Bell Effect: Negates all status ailments. |
If you’re facing areas filled with status effects or terrain hazards, swap to the Erdrick set. While its defensive stats fall short of the Liquid Metal gear, it compensates with strong resistances, passive HP recovery, and immunity to floor damage.

The Falcon Sword of Ruin build lets him dish out consistent damage thanks to its double-hit effect, and pairing it with the Meteorite Bracer keeps him acting early each turn.
The Liquid Metal Set adds much-needed defense, helping him survive even as a hybrid attacker. With this setup, he can pivot between physical offense and party support depending on the fight.

| Accessory 1 | Banishing Bell Effect: Negates all status ailments. |
| Accessory 2 | Meteorite Bracer Effect: Doubles the wearer's Agility.. |
This build turns her into an unstoppable spellcasting machine. The Duplic Hat lets her double-cast every spell for massive burst damage or perform back-to-back heals. The Godbird Set also cuts MP costs, so she can sustain longer battles without running dry.
Prioritize her survivability, she’s fragile but absolutely devastating and can turn the battle around if protected properly.

Her loadout emphasizes flexibility and survival, allowing her to cover offense, support, and utility all at once. Rubiss’s Sword gives her a strong AoE option, while the Exotoga and Liquid Metal Shield help her tank spells and resist status ailments.
Combined with agility boosts from the Meteorite Bracer, she can act quickly to heal, attack, or support depending on the situation.
