| 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. |
