Short Description

Excels in parry/counter-heavy and Tenacity-focused defensive builds, particularly in PvE boss fights or PvP where you can reliably trigger Tenacity. The stacking resistance to Critical and Affinity damage makes it strong against burst-heavy opponents, helping you survive longer while maintaining aggression.

Commonly Used Weapons

Weapon recommendations are optional. Phalanxbane Blade especially fits builds with frequent Tenacity. You do not need these Martial Arts for the set bonus to function.
