There are numerous Monster Hunter Now armor sets that you can unlock. Including the leather armor set that you start with in the tutorials, you’ll eventually be able to craft equipment from 14 different armor sets, each one dedicated to one of the monsters in the game. Since you don’t get any bonuses for equipping the chest, arms, legs, helm, and waist gear for a particular armor set, it’s better to mix and match the best armor pieces you want to wear. This will allow you to gain the benefits of the different skills attached to the armor for various builds. Here’s a breakdown of all 14 armor sets in MH Now for Android and iOS.
