List of Contents
Chain Bangle |
Stats Defense: 50/Magic Defense: 50 How to Obtain: Picked up from a treasure chest in the Shinra Building (Chapter 17) |
---|
The Chain Bangle is the best armor in the game, boasting excellent stats and materia slots. This armor is great on Cloud, who you will be using practically all the time, as well as Aerith, who will need as many slots as she can get.
The only Chain Bangle in the game is picked up in Chapter 17 from a treasure chest along the path. While it is clearly an amazing piece of equipment, the problem is deciding who you will equip it to.
Cog Bangle |
Stats Defense: 39/Magic Defense: 39 How to Obtain: Buy on the 63rd Floor of the Shinra Building. |
---|
The Cog Bangle has good Defense and Magic Defense, so it is good to use in nearly any battle. You'll be able to pick up two of these, so be sure and equip both to someone.
Supreme Bracer |
Stats Defense: 62/Magic Defense: 16 How to Obtain: Reward for clearing Barret vs. SOLDIER Trainees in the Shinra Combat Simulator (Chapter 16/17) |
---|
After the Iron Maiden, the Supreme Bracer has the best defense stat of all armor, so equip it to a character who will take a lot of physical attacks from enemies. However, when you are up against a boss like Shiva or Leviathan who mainly use magic-based attacks, you are better off not equipping this one.
Iron Maiden No Slots |
Stats Defense: 124/Magic Defense: 20 How to Obtain: After Tifa gets the keycard in the Shinra Building, head up the escalator and get it from the treasure chest on the Show Room to the right (Chapter 16) |
---|
The Iron Maiden has the drawback of no materia slots and low magic defense to compensate for its monster defense stat of 124. This armor is very useful against bosses who primarily use physical attacks, like Fat Chocobo or Behemoth.
Supreme Bracer |
Stats Defense: 62/Magic Defense: 16 How to Obtain: Reward for clearing Barret vs. SOLDIER Trainees in the Shinra Combat Simulator (Chapter 16/17) |
---|
After the Iron Maiden, the Supreme Bracer has the best defense stat of all armor, so equip it to a character who will take a lot of physical attacks from enemies. However, when you are up against a boss like Shiva or Leviathan who mainly use magic-based attacks, you are better off not equipping this one.
Heavy-Duty Bracer |
Stats Defense: 53/Magic Defense: 13 How to Obtain: Buy it in a Vending Machine from Chapter 14 onward |
---|
The Heavy-Duty Bracer has a good defense stat, but not much else. It has three materia slots, but none of them are linked. However, you can get it in Chapter 14, and at this point in the game, it is one of the better armors.
Astral Cuff No Slots |
Stats Defense: 20/Magic Defense: 124 How to Obtain: Picked up in Chapter 17 from a treasure chest |
---|
The Astral Cuff has the drawback of no materia slots and low physical defense to compensate for its monster magic defense stat of 124. It isn't the best armor overall, but it is great for strong bosses like Shiva or Leviathan who mainly attack with magic-based attacks.
Rune Armlet |
Stats Defense: 16/Magic Defense: 62 How to Obtain: Reward for clearing Tifa vs. SOLDIER Trainees in the Shinra Combat Simulator (Chapter 16/17) |
---|
The Rune Armlet is pretty well balanced with its magic defense of 62 and 3 materia slots (two of which are linked). You'll come up against plenty of strong magic attackers as the game gets more difficult, so this is one worth equipping.
Sorcerer's Armlet |
Stats Defense: 13/Magic Defense: 53 How to Obtain: Pick up from the treasure chest in the alley near the Honey Bee Inn (Chapter 14) |
---|
The Sorcerer's Armlet has a good magic defense stat, but not much else. It has three materia slots, but none of them are linked. However, you can get it in Chapter 14, and at this point in the game, it is one of the better armors.
