Rest of the Despair's set
Wearing all of them together carries no bonus — this game has none. They simply match.

| Despair's Grasp | Arms | 2.1 | 0.5 | 9 |
How it compares
No standout stat — 86th of 95 chest pieces for physical defence, and similarly mid-table elsewhere. Worth wearing for its set or its look rather than its numbers.

Alternatives at a similar weight
Other chest pieces within a quarter of this one's 10.5 weight, so swapping does not force a rebuild of the rest of the loadout. Ordered by physical defence.
