Monster Hunter: World - 10 Best Armour Sets You Must Unlock

We've all been there, locked in battle with a Diablos and gaining the upper hand, only to be frozen in place by its roar and then promptly gored to near-death by its horned charge. Normally, you'd get up, brush yourself off and chug a Mega Potion or two, but not so fast - you're seeing stars after being knocked for six and can't move. Diablos is winding up for another onslaught and you're going nowhere. Surprise surprise, you're dead.

All too often, that can end up being the general flow of battle for many of World's megafauna, but don't despair - pay the Smithy a visit and have him hammer you out a set of Bazel armour.

Yes, you'll have to farm the carpet-bombing Bazelgeuse to get the necessary materials, but by the end, you'll have the only threads in the game that come with a maxed out Ear Plugs perk as standard. As the name suggests, wearing three pieces will make you immune to even the mightiest of roars, but why stop there?

Go the extra mile. Equip yourself with a Stun Charm and be safe in the knowledge that no oversized game will ever interrupt your frenzied sword-swinging ever again.
