EFFECT
 * You receive  Armour Lean x1.125.
 * If you are wielding a Melee weapon, Attack #2 does 140% damage*. This is applied multiplicatively, so each hit of Attack #2 does 43.8% of [Normal attack damage]. In addition, weapon Specials of your Melee weapons have a 50% chance of doing 120% damage.

ELEMENTAL AFFINITY
You can visit Nimrod in the Guardian Tower to select an elemental affinity for your armor out of the 8 basic elements. Depending on your choice, the armour's resistances will change: your selected element receives the best resistance, while the resistance of the other elements is based on the  Elemental Wheel. "Allied" elements are slightly worse than your chosen element, neutral elements are worse than that, and so on. If you wish, you can also choose to take a neutral affinity, which gives you flat resistances to all eight elements.

COLOR CUSTOMIZATION
This armor follows the Custom Color Scheme you have set for your  Guardian Plate. To customize the apperance,  visit Valencia privately.

*Your weapon and armour resonate to make your strikes even more powerful!

DESCRIPTION
A more powerful version of the Guardian Plate, this armour can unleash a frenzy of strikes which is further strengthened when using Melee weapons!

Analysis

Starts off as a mid-offensive armour (see the appendix for Damage and BTH values at different tiers):

 * Attack #1 does 93.75% damage, split evenly over the two hits.
 * Attack #2 does 125% damage, split evenly over the four hits.

This averages out as 0.8*93.75% + 0.2*125% = 100% damage.

The armour's Mastercraft bonus is used to boost the damage done by Attack #2. Mastercraft bonuses are equal to a bonus +5% damage on average; since the effect is limited to Melee weapons, the bonus is 10% instead. So to make the armour deal 110% damage on average, Attack #2 needs to do (110% - 0.8*93.75%)/0.2 = 175% damage total, which translates to 175%/125% = 1.4 damage multiplier from Mastercraft bonus alone.

Melee weapon Specials also benefit from the Mastercraft bonus, although it is a 50% chance of 20% damage bonus, which also averages out as the desired 10%.
