Epic Armor

, .Bold text Epic Armors are the strongest armors in the game. They have 5 stars and were introduced to Knights & Dragons on the 24th July 2013. Each epic armor can only be obtained in a certain way (e.g. Chests, Tournaments, Fusion, Guild Wars). Epic Plus armors cannot be obtained by fusion.

One other noteworthy feature is that all epic armors have their own animated 'aura' or particle effect. For example: Arborsteel Vanguard has bubbles seemingly forming out of the armor and Moontide Platemail has a Shiny affect on its armor or the Forgestone Aegis has a Burning aura and ghostly fire.

Epic Armor Tiers
=Proto Tier= Proto Tier Epics are considered the weakest Epics in the game, only two Epics are part of this group, they are the Moontide Platemail and the Cloudrange Platemail. Moontide, being the first Epic ever, is widely known as the worst Epic in the game. Cloudrange holds the title for worst GW Epic, As it was the First Guild War Epic (Not Forgestone Aegis as many people believe). Both Epics have a Stat Total that is lower than 3000 (Regular Version). Both of these armors also use their first evolution helmet as their Avatar look.

Epics in this Tier: =First Tier= The First Tier starts with the first Mono Fire Epic ever released, the Blazeborne Vanguard. Tier one Epics have a stat total that is over 3000 (Regular Version), and they are very common Armors in the game, as most of them are fusable, or obtainable from Guild Wars (Top 25), Arena, or Gem Events. Two of these Epics are now called "replaced", the Blazeborne Vanguard and Tectonic Mantle, as the newer Epic Boss Armors+ have greater stats if Guild Elements come into play. Starting from Armor of the Devoted, these Epics started using their second evolution form as their avatar.
