Equipping the Galeguard Set in New Game+ offers a slight increase in Focus with each Perfect Dodge, providing a significant advantage in combat. The complete set includes a mask, bracers, greaves, and the main armor.

When the full set is worn, Wukong will receive a Mana boost after achieving three successful dodges, reducing spell cooldowns and enabling quicker access to powerful abilities.

To acquire the Bronze Set, players must complete Chen Loong’s quest line. Once completed, players can craft the armor using all required materials by consulting the Yin Tiger. This set can be upgraded to Mythic rarity.

Upgrading to Mythic status grants benefits, including reduced cooldowns for the Immobilize spell and increased damage to enemies affected by it, making it easier to immobilize foes and unleash powerful attacks.

3) Insect Set

Given the strong attacks from enemies, players may find their stats diminishing. The Insect Set helps counter this by extending the duration of healing items like Loong Aura Amplification Pellets and Body-Fleeting Powder.

Additionally, players receive a small boost to their Focus when utilizing healing items, making it particularly advantageous during challenging boss encounters in NG+.

4) Bull King Set

The Bull King Set boasts impressive damage absorption compared to most other armor in the game, and it is considered the strongest set available. Players must complete a second playthrough, which is achieved through New Game+, to acquire the full set.

Wearing the complete set grants Sun Wukong increased resistance to staggering when health falls below half and can provide additional Focus gains when hit by opponents. This armor set makes tough boss battles significantly easier, enhancing the experience in NG+

5) Monkey King Set

As Sun Wukong is colloquially known as the Monkey King, it is fitting that the Monkey King armor set is obtainable during the campaign. The set comprises four pieces, and when paired with the mythic Jingubang weapon, it reduces cooldowns on all spells following a successful Critical Hit.

This armor set also significantly enhances Critical Hit chances, making it incredibly useful during various boss battles throughout New Game+.
