Conquistador Set

Conquistador Set is the defensive tank set in Windrose's six-set rotation. It emphasizes damage mitigation at 2-piece and uninterruptible combat at 4-piece, making it the go-to choice for players who prefer to stand and trade hits rather than dodge-weave.

Set Bonuses

• 2-piece: +15% damage mitigation. All incoming damage is reduced by a flat 15%.

• 4-piece: Bulwark effect. The first few hits you take do not interrupt your actions, letting you commit to heavy attacks or long reloads without getting flinched out of them.

Pieces

Like all rare sets, Conquistador consists of five slots: Helmet, Cuirass, Pants, Gloves, and Boots. Equipping any 2 activates the 2-piece bonus; equipping any 4 activates the 4-piece bonus. The fifth slot is free for a second set's 2-piece bonus.

Upgrade Materials

Conquistador pieces upgrade with Ingots:

• Lower tiers: Copper Ingot

• Mid tiers: Foothills Iron Ingot

• Late tiers: Mire Metal Ingot

The Ingot-based upgrade path overlaps with the Pikeman Set and all tool crafting, so players leveling either tank set already have the material throughput.

When to Use

• Early to mid game — 2-piece Conquistador + 2-piece Pikeman is the workhorse combo for tanking through the Coastal Jungle and into the Foothills.

• Bosses with long combos — the Bulwark effect at 4-piece is especially valuable against bosses like Thomas Richards where interruption can cost a full damage window.

• Melee committed builds — Halberd and Greatsword players who commit to heavy attacks benefit from Bulwark's armor-poise effect.

Synergies

• Vitality allocation for even more Max HP.

• Seafood Platter Epic dish for +20 Vitality = +260 Max HP.

• Stout Frame talent for up to +240 Max HP.

Visual Identity

Conquistador pieces wear a heavy-plate silhouette from the first tier forward. The helmet is a closed-face morion style with a front-to-back comb, the cuirass is a smooth breastplate with squared pauldrons, and the gloves and boots are articulated steel. As the upgrade tier climbs from Copper Ingot through Foothills Iron to Mire Metal, the set picks up ornate colonial military engravings along the cuirass edges and pauldrons, which doubles as a quick visual read of how far the wearer has progressed. The overall silhouette is Old World military rather than pirate, and it sets the tank identity apart from the leather and cloth profiles used by the other sets.
