Kaiser Cuirass Set

From HorizonXI Wiki
The Kaiser Set

A heavy set of strong metalic armor, this set is the HQ version of the Koenig Cuirass Set, which adds massive bonuses to HP, Defense, Vitality, and Charisma (for Killer Effects). Any heavy tank should be proud to have this set.
Like every abjuration set, this armor has a downside. In this case, the Koenig set has equally massive negative bonuses to STR and DEX, crippling attack for the sake of defense.

Set Summary

Historical Background

Cuirass

A cuirass (from the Latin coriaceus, meaning made of leather, and further from the Latin word corium which was a leather breastplate), is the plate armor formed of a single piece of metal or other rigid material or composed of two or more pieces, which covers the front of the wearer's person. In a suit of armor, however, since this important piece was generally worn in connection with a corresponding defence for the back, the term cuirass commonly is understood to imply the complete body-armor, including both the breast and the back plates. Thus this complete body armor appears in the Middle Ages frequently to have been described as a pair of plates. A related item, the Corselet, is a comparatively light cuirass.

Kaiser

Kaiser is the German language word for emperor. The normal quality version of this set is called Koenig Cuirass Set, with König (or Koenig) being German for king.
