Best Armor Augments and Armor Recommendations

Synergizes with high sharpness builds

Protective Polish grants your weapons protection from dulling. This combos well with high sharpness as higher sharpness means more damage. So by sharpening your weapon before a fight, you'll be able to retain your weapon's max sharpness value for a long while before your damage starts getting lower.
