There will also be bonuses to resistance: piercing, chopping, shock attacks of opponents will become weaker by 25% -32%.
The name of the kit came about for a reason: they are huge, heavy and make a bear out of Geraltwhich will become slow and clumsy. If you decide to use them, then do not try to maneuver and constantly monitor the level of endurance: it regenerates very slowly. Such a kit should be used only in those cases when you want to fight opponents up close and not use magic at all.
Armor of the Griffin School
This armor is average, it doesn't weigh too much but still protects well in combat. It is necessary to constantly improve and upgrade them in order to raise the maximum available level. This armor set is suitable for players who prefer the use of magic.. The maximum level of improvements to the Griffin School Set will increase the power of signs by 22%.

In close combat, Geralt will lose significantly less health from the piercing, shock and slashing attacks of enemies. Despite quite decent protection, this armor is not designed for constant close combat. It is preferable to use magic, keep a medium distance from opponents and parry blows.

Ophir Armor
The armor may not boast the best performance, but its appearance is clearly worth attention. Protection against slashing and shock attacks, as well as 10% -20% of the power of signs. Bonuses to magic and beauty, of course, attract, but the lack of tankiness in melee is also worth considering.
Darkmoon Armor

The armor is medium, its main advantage is the increase in critical damage. With such a set, it will be possible to deal huge damage in one hit and deftly dodge enemy attacks.
