Characteristics[]
While quite hefty, the Millwood Knight Set provides strong all-round defenses that make it an excellent heavy armor set.
The set's greatest strengths are its Standard and Slash absorption. While it is weak to Strike, it is still quite resistant to it, as it is only marginally lower than its Thrust defense. Its elemental resistances are moderate but sound across the board, with its resistance to Lightning matching that of its resistance to Magic, with the other resistances only negligibly weaker. It also tolerates status effect buildup very well across the board, save for a weakness to Curse, which is rarely encountered.
It has a high poise-to-weight ratio to back up its heavy weight, allowing it to even wield Greatswords and trade with similar weapons.
