Tips
- Do not dismiss Light Armors solely based on their lower defense values; their special effects can significantly enhance character performance.
- Consider the specific job abilities and the party's needs when choosing a Light Armor, prioritizing stat boosts or resistances that complement the strategy.
- For magic-focused jobs, Light Armors that boost Magic Attack, Intelligence, or Mind are particularly beneficial.
- For physical attackers or evasive builds, Light Armors that increase Evade or Agility can be very effective.
- The Brave Suit is a unique item that provides an immediate advantage at the start of every battle by granting an extra Brave Point (BP).
