Overview
The Hernand Ceremonial Guard Cloak is a plate cloak in Crimson Desert that provides 3 base defense and Ice Resistance Lv.3.
Despite being classified as a plate cloak, the Hernand Ceremonial Guard Cloak provides Ice Resistance rather than the Fire Resistance typically associated with plate armor. This makes it a unique exception to the standard material-to-resistance mapping.
This cloak can be purchased from the Hernandian Contribution Shop for 19 Contribution Coins.

Elemental Resistance
Ice Resistance reduces damage from frost-based attacks, freezing status effects, and cold environmental hazards. This is valuable in snowy or mountainous regions, against ice-wielding enemies, and during encounters with bosses that use frost magic.
In Crimson Desert, the standard material-to-resistance mapping is: Cloth provides Ice Resistance, Leather provides Lightning Resistance, and Plate provides Fire Resistance. The Hernand Ceremonial Guard Cloak is a notable exception, classified as Plate but providing Ice Resistance instead of Fire.
