Rakshasa Set | Elden Ring Wiki

Ahh, Alonne Knight. How I missed you.

Submit

Once you wear this set DAEDICAR'S WOE activates

Submit

The skadu tree buff stacked on top of the consumables/fate buffs make the lower damage absorption barely noticeable. Compared to the Night Cavalry set i go from 8% lower dmg absorption to 2-3% in the DLC.

It's a downgrade only if you came from a ultra-heavy, high poise armor. For everybody else, this is the best armor set in the game.

Submit

Looks cool but it ain't gonna give more than 80 extra AR even with the heaviest weapons. Unless you wanna make some over the top unreliable risky one shot build. I wanna combine this with a great katana and two-handed sword talisman+spear talisman but the thing is even a straight swords light attack is going to remove 1/4 of my health its very risky but the big damage is tempting

Submit

"The increased damage received isn't actually a debuff, it's just that this armor set has lower damage negation" -- you do receive a debuff though, it has the same icon as daedicar talisman. If you also equip rakshasa katana then you get two of those icons.

Submit

I've already seen about 7 different players wearing this set with the Black Dumpling and abusing the Rolling sparks collision bug, it's attack of the clones all over again-

which is such a shame, this armour and it's lore is pretty interesting, literally a bloodstained Alonne knight set with a touch of glass cannon sprinkled on top.

my favorite ds2 set

Submit

Goes pretty well with Bear hood and bear claws.

Submit

We need more % damage items so we can turn this game into a TPS

Submit

I checked the regulation.bin and each piece of the set multiplies both damage dealt and taken by 1.02, or 2% extra. Each piece stacks multiplicatively, but since the value is so low, it's basically linear, so wearing the full set gives you 8.2% extra damage dealt and taken.

Submit

To clarify, the damage bonus seems to apply to all sources. Melee, ranged, spells, even items. I don't think status procs are affected but that's harder to test and I don't think the game *allows* proc damage to be modified.

Submit

The Daedicar's Woe icon on this armor is misleading. Note that this is from patch 1.12.2 and related to PvE, so if the effects are different in PvP or changed in a later patch this post DOES NOT reflect this. But the set's description only refers to the fact that its absorption numbers are subpar for its weight class. In testing it shows no increased damage taken penalty. The damage dealt bonus you get for it is 2% per piece, stacking multiplicatively (but that hardly matters, nobody's gonna split hairs over 8% vs 8.24%). Versus Maliketh's set, which has the same weight, wearing the Rakshasa set means you take roughly 8% more physical [standard, strike, slash, pierce] damage, 5% more elemental [magic, holy, lightning, fire] damage, have slightly lower overall resistances (though higher bleed/frostbite resistance, which is higher on Rakshasa vs Maliketh), and 7 more poise (though 58 poise isn't really enough to hit breakpoints 51 poise doesn't). At least for PvE the damage bonus is enough to make this one of the best sets for general use, if not *the* best set, in the game.

Submit

I always knew that the red power ranger was the strongest.

Submit

Okay, so people here seem to be saying that the "Increased damage taken" is in reference to the armor's low defense stats, but then why does it give you a Daedicar's Woe effect icon? Shouldn't those appear only when the incoming damage is increased?

Submit

reverse armor

Submit

Since the total defense for armor is chest>legs>helmet>gloves, the damage trade-off is higher value for gloves or helmets or legs than chest armor.

Submit

Ah yes the glass cannon

Submit

This set is probably the biggest trap I ever seen.

Submit

That's... That's an Alonne Knight from DS2.

Submit

Those are some terrible absorptions for a armor that heavy. I guess thats what it meant my taking more damage. Still better than reducing your defense. Would recommend

Submit

I think this was entered in a hurry. MP probably stands for magic power, and "damage cut rates" probably refers to weapon attack values. In other words, all damage done by weapons or magic is increased by 2% for each piece

Submit

Yes it will increase the damage of your spells. So if your a glass cannon mage it's logical attire.

Submit

somehow decreases rolling sparks damage

Submit

This set+Orders Blade on Nagakiba+Crucible Wings ash = Pieta (when her armour is bloodied) from Lords of the Fallen. Love it.

Submit

So does damage cut rates refer to breaking through the damage cap or is it a flat amount 2% damage bonus? Why was this worded so strangely

Submit

You take 8% more damage and deal 8% more damage. Reallocate offensive stats to Endurance, retain a similar damage output while havingbmuch higher Poise than any other "light" armor set.

Submit

Daredevil cosplay, here I come.

Submit

What is "damage cut rate"? Do they mean slice and pierce damage?

Submit

alonne knight set from ds2

Submit

This set is too good. I expect a nerf with 30% damage taken to balance it.

Submit

The increase in damage taken is from the low defensive stats for its weight class, the scarab helms have the same effect but have negative defense. The bad stats ARE the increased damage taken.

Submit

Is there specific pieces more worth while to wear when compared to the other pieces of this set?

Submit

what is max mp ?

Submit

Dark Souls 2. The gifts that keeps on giving.

Submit

Now this feels like a dark souls armor set, and in a cool red

Submit

using messmer fire incants and fire knights skills and using this set instead of that ugly fire knight set >>>

Submit

very roughly, each piece seems to increase dmg by about 1-2%, and increases damage taken by about the same amount.

Submit

Alonne Knight set from ds2, i just wish there was a Sir Alonne fight in this dlc such a wasted opportunity

Submit

Same as others, did some testing vs armor sets with similar physical negation and found no increase in damage taken. Might be a bug, might be a translation issue, but the armor doesn't make you take more damage and DOES give you a flat 8% increase in the damage you deal (2% per piece).

Submit

This set seems to have reasonable poise for its weight class but lower defensives maybe?

Submit

I didn't really notice any significant difference in the damage I was taking while wearing this armor.

Submit

Not me rocking soreseal and 2 pieces of this just cause I feel sexy in it

Submit

dragon form in the shape of armor, still boost your defense & poise while maintain bonus damage.

Submit

I mean i think you take more damage considering there is an Debuff icon displayed while wearing it

Submit

weebs new favorite set

Submit

BLOOD !! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD !!

Submit

Welcome back alonne knight ds2

Submit

Every piece gives 2% extra damage, additively with each other so the whole set gives 8%. As far as I can tell the "extra damage taken" is just because it has really low negation stats. It weighs as much as Maliketh's and Night's Calvary sets but offers WAY less defense. Better poise and okay immunities though.

Submit

Does "greatly increases damage taken" refer to it having low defense, or is there a hidden damage multiplier you take?
Every other item that increases damage taken is reflected on your stats. But this doesn't decrease those numbers.

Submit

Helmet reminds me of one worn by the Annalise in Bloodborne, it even have association with blood which makes me wonder if it's purposeful

Submit

The Chestpiece pairs extremely well with Pelt of Ralva Helmet

Submit

This set is so drippy, but im not into the whole mechanic of dealing more damage and taking more in return, since I'm not good enough to effecitvely use it. I wish there was a way to remove the effect :(

Submit

Definitely gonna make an Igris build with this one at some point

Submit

Wake up, babe! New tryhard set just dropped...

Submit

It's important to note that this armor increases the damage you take but increases damage dealt, after some very little testing i'd say it makes you like 20-25% more dmg

Submit

The person who made this set will feel like Oppenheimer when people start using this for pvp

Submit

i really like the helmet, the rest is kinda meh.

Submit

coming from a blue dancer talisman build (dlc hurts) this is a pretty good upgrade depending on how you look at it.

the full set gives me 704 to 762 AR at my point in the game while a full dancer build with a light weapon takes me to 799, sizeable increase, however, i go from 44 to 54 physical absorption and i get a whopping 58 poise vs light dancer setup having poise in the 10s-20s not to mention saving a talisman slot and being able to use heavier weapons (and not restricted to physical)

long story short it's a great set and the absorption penalty is not that bad (full rellana set gives me 59 absorption in comparison wit hthe same weight class) the real kicker is it's a damage boosting armor set that doesn't look hideous (looking at you glintstone crowns, mushroom crown, white mask, okina mask, etc)

When the Iron King went the communist path

Submit

The alonne knights I murdered in the smelter demon boss walkup morphed and reincarnated into this edgelord (I will now wear tf outta this armor)

Submit

Based on the set description, it increases damage (overall?) and increased damage taken. Glass cannon set?

Submit

rakshasa? like rakshas? from berserk? is this a berserk reference?
