| You can pump more defense out of the Champion Horn when you set its Rampage Skill to Defense Boost I. This adds 10 more to your defense on top of the 30 defense bonus it already has this makes you last longer on early difficult hunts. |

| Build Merits | This armor set offers a good mix of offense and survivability. The hunting horn's playstyle renders you vulnerable to attacks. Investing in Evade Extender solves this by greatly increasing the distance covered by your dodge rolls at level 3. Make sure you use a Talisman with Horn Maestro with this set. |
