Our take on Prisoner's Leathers
A small safety net that works like a weak version of the Scutum capstone Unbreakable. With only +5 Vitality and +25 Max HP it is worth wearing only until anything Uncommon or better drops.
What does the Prisoner's Leathers set bonus do?
-5% Damage taken when low
Less damage while your health is low, the same idea as the Scutum capstone Unbreakable (-20% below 35% health). A safety net for new players.
+5 Vitality and +25 Max HP
On our level-1 Gladiator with 124 Max HP, the set’s +25 Max HP alone would be a 20% increase. Every set adds flat health that scales with rarity. Common sets give +5 Vitality / +25 Max HP and +7 / +35 for Uncommon.
How do you get the Prisoner's Leathers pieces?
| Slot | Piece | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Helm | Leather Cap | From chests |
| Chest | Padded Tunic | From chests |
| Hands | Leather Wraps | From chests |
| Legs | Leather Greaves | From chests |
Common gear can also come from chests. These are the chests that can roll Common items:
| Chest | Common chance | Armor / weapon split | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Chest | 50% | Armor 75% · Weapon 25% | 400 Cash |
A chest that rolls Common still picks one item from every Common armor and weapon, so a specific piece of Prisoner's Leathers is much rarer than the Common chance.
Who should use Prisoner's Leathers?
- Long Survival runs: -5% Damage taken when low.
- Gladiator (sword and shield): -5% Damage taken when low.
How to build around Prisoner's Leathers
Long Survival runs. For long Survival runs, pick boons that match the set, never leave early (the result bonus drops to x0.50), and push past round 21, where Forge Embers start dropping for your next Legendary or Mythic set.
Gladiator (sword and shield). Pair it with the Gladiator’s block (70% less damage) and the Scutum path: Iron Skin adds +4% Max health per rank, and the capstone Unbreakable cuts damage by 20% below 35% health. Hold block through boss wind-ups and counter with the slash, backhand and shield bash chain.
Fit: our reading of the bonus Based on the class cards and skill tree we saw in game, not on damage tests.
