Different armor sets change how you dodge and survive. Speed builds favor light gear for dashing around bosses. Bulkier frames lower damage and help you frontload risk in crowded rooms.

Master timing your dash turns any set into a strong choice. One-line takeaway: pick speed for mobility, bulk for patience, then adapt to each boss pattern.
Which outfit works for boss fights?
Light sets let you circle strafe, while heavy sets tank one hit if you time shields well.
Does gear affect story or music?
No, your choice changes visuals, feel, and tactics, not the core narrative or soundtrack.
