Of course, regardless of how impressive a dark-green set was, it also presented a list of frightening negativities.
Firstly, movement speed will be substantially reduced. Moreover, back defences will be weakened to 0; where all damage dealt would not be reduced and the effect takes precedence.
Next, agility would be reduced by 8 points, while strength and perceptive sense lowered by 3 points. Furthermore, total MP will be temporarily reduced by 10%.
Lastly, activation of various abilities would still deduct a fixed MP value based on one's maximum possible MP.
To summarize the two set equipment, they skyrocketed one's combat prowess but simultaneously, taxed MP at an insanely frightening rate!
A ordinary mage type contestant wouldn't be able to exhibit the greatest potential of this set, because their MP will be utterly sucked dry.
