Nioh 3 Wiki Armor Sets Database
Complete database of armor sets in Nioh 3. This Nioh 3 Wiki section covers all set bonuses, piece thresholds, and optimal combinations for different Builds. Understanding sets is essential for maximizing your Builds effectiveness in Boss Guide encounters.
Understanding Armor Sets
Armor sets in Nioh 3 Wiki provide powerful bonuses when wearing multiple pieces from the same set. These bonuses scale with piece count, offering stronger effects at higher thresholds. Endgame Builds revolve around maximizing set bonuses while maintaining desired stats for Weapons scaling and survivability.
The Nioh 3 Wiki documents each set's bonuses at all thresholds (typically 2, 4, 6, and 7 pieces). Some Builds mix multiple sets for specific bonus combinations. Our Simulator calculates total bonuses from your equipped sets to help plan Builds.
