Enhanced Ursine Armor

Enhanced Ursine Armor is the upgraded chest piece of the Bear School gear, the second of the base game’s four levels (basic, enhanced, superior and mastercrafted). It is heavy armor built for a tanky build that takes hits and fights back, and its headline bonus is +10% Adrenaline Point gain.

The next step is the superior version, which needs this one as a component, and the line ends with the Grandmaster Ursine Armor in Blood and Wine. It is crafted from the basic Ursine Armor. The rest of the enhanced set: gauntlets, trousers, boots.

The matching blades from the same tier are the Enhanced Ursine Steel Sword and the Enhanced Ursine Silver Sword.
