Armor in the Nightre is crucial for damage mitigation and poise. New armor sets like the 'Night Sentinel Set' offer high physical and dark damage negation, along with increased poise. The 'Shadow Weaver Set' is a light armor set that boosts stealth and dark damage. Existing sets, such as the 'Banished Knight Set (Nightfall)', now offer slightly different resistances, often with higher dark negation. Poise is still vital for avoiding stagger during combat. Aim for at least 51 poise to tank through light attacks, and higher for heavier hits. Mix and match pieces to achieve optimal protection and poise while staying within your equip load limits. Remember that heavier armor often means slower dodge rolls.
