Davkul armor: BF or Nimble?

[Lampros]

I haven't gotten this since they were heavily nerfed, I think, but I will likely get it this time, since I am doing a Davkul run. So is this armor best for BF or Nimble these days? When it released, people were using it for Nimble, but I recall they've gotten heavier.

Best for nimbleforged. Insanely op actually.

Got it. Let's see if I have enough Perks for that though.

Isn't it also popular to mix Davkul with Iijirok, so you get half armor generation and HP regeneration?

Nimble is still the way to go. Your armor regenerates, your HP does not, so the only way you should realistically die is through armor ignoring damage, which Nimble helps against.

Forge is very much "win-more" in this case. Strong yes, but should be unnecessary and won't save you from what is actually the only real threat you have.

the event for the armor or helm can't trigger before day 200 has passed, if you wear the dakvul armor with jiork helmet nimble will do like nothing.

the dakvul helmet event is also super rare probably never gonna get it personally I believe the event only triggers at night in forest tiles, but you should get the armor playing as cultist.

can just start out the battle brother as nimble, and get the extra perk points from the legendary event to get nimble and battleforged and then have a pretty unkillable battle brother

Got it. I will go that route, if I end up being Perk-starved. Basically, I am leaving a ton of Perks unclaimed, because I haven't played in two years, and I don't know/remember what late game looks like now.

If I go Nimble-Forge route, then is it better for a tank or a melee damage dealer?

I always give the dakvul armor to my best frontliner damage dealer recruit

Great - that was what I was planning, too. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't nuts - not that that proves I am not nuts! ;)
