Best armor sets in Wild Hearts (Young Samurai, Basara and more)

If you’ve just started playing Wild Hearts, you may be looking for the best armor sets to fight deadly monsters. The role-playing game will put you face to face with big, bad and ugly monsters in Azuma, a fantasy world inspired by medieval Japan. The best thing about the game is that it allows you to use different pieces of armor from your collection to create your own armor set. However, this can be done in the middle of the game when you have many options to choose from. This guide will show you how to get the best armor sets at the start of the game.
