What does the Flamebreaker set bonus do?
Set bonus
Fireproof
Active when all three pieces are at ★★ or higher.
The full-set bonus negates all fire damage. Each piece on its own has Flame Guard, which stops you burning in the heat around lava.
How much defense does each piece give?
| Piece | Base | ★ | ★★ | ★★★ | ★★★★ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flamebreaker Helm | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
| Flamebreaker Armor | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
| Flamebreaker Boots | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
3 at base and 20 at four stars.
What does it take to upgrade the Flamebreaker set?
Upgrades are done at a Great Fairy Fountain, one star at a time, for materials only (no rupees). The table is per piece.
| ★ | Materials |
|---|---|
| ★ | Fireproof Lizard ×1, Moblin Horn ×2 |
| ★★ | Fireproof Lizard ×3, Moblin Fang ×4 |
| ★★★ | Smotherwing Butterfly ×3, Moblin Guts ×3 |
| ★★★★ | Smotherwing Butterfly ×5, Hinox Guts ×2 |
Every piece in this set uses these materials.
The fourth star needs 2 Hinox Guts per piece; the Hinox locations page lists every Hinox. Fireproof Lizards and Smotherwing Butterflies live around Death Mountain and also make fireproof elixirs.
When should you wear the Flamebreaker set?
Wear it on Death Mountain, around Eldin’s lava and in Vah Rudania. Once all three are at two stars, fire attacks no longer hurt you either. Outside Eldin you will rarely need it.
