Short Description
Obsidian Armor, also referred to as Ebonward in some references, is built for parry/counter-heavy and Tenacity-focused defensive setups. The set becomes stronger the more consistently your build can enter or maintain Tenacity during close-range exchanges.
At full stacks, the set provides strong protection against burst-focused opponents by lowering the chance of taking Critical and Affinity damage while you continue fighting aggressively.

Ideal Usage
This set excels in PvE boss fights and PvP situations where you can reliably trigger Tenacity. The immediate 5% HP damage reduction gives you a solid baseline while the stacking Critical and Affinity resistance makes repeated trades safer against burst-heavy enemies.
It is especially effective for players who prefer to stay aggressive while defending through parries, counters and Tenacity rather than relying on passive shielding or long-distance avoidance.
