Superior Griffin Armor

Superior Griffin Armor is the upgraded chest piece of the Griffin School gear, the third of the base game’s four levels (basic, enhanced, superior and mastercrafted). It is medium armor built for a Sign-focused build, and its headline bonus is +15% Sign intensity.

The last base-game step is the mastercrafted version, which needs this one as a component, and the line ends with the Grandmaster Griffin Armor in Blood and Wine. Compared with the Enhanced Griffin Armor the armor rating goes from 125 to 165, and it gains an upgrade slot. The rest of the superior set: gauntlets, trousers, boots.

The matching blades from the same tier are the Superior Griffin Steel Sword and the Superior Griffin Silver Sword.
