The primary goal for most teams should be a comfortable two-phase clear for each boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ammunition Management<\/strong>: Many roles in this raid are mechanics-focused and do not involve constantly killing enemies, leading to a scarcity of Special and Heavy ammo. To counteract this, high-damage primary weapons are invaluable. <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/destiny-2\/boost\/buy-outbreak-perfected-exotic-rifle-weapon-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Outbreak Perfected<\/a>, particularly with its catalyst, is a standout option. It deals excellent damage, generates a large amount of super energy for burst-damage supers (like Gathering Storm or Golden Gun), and entirely negates ammo concerns. It is one of the top-tier meta weapons for this raid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weapon Archetypes<\/strong>: While Outbreak is a reliable workhorse, other weapons have their place. For encounters requiring burst damage at close range, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.light.gg\/db\/items\/3580904580\/legend-of-acrius\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Legend of Acrius<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.light.gg\/db\/items\/3413860063\/lord-of-wolves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Lord of Wolves<\/a> are potent choices. For sustained damage at a distance, Machine Guns like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.light.gg\/db\/items\/3325463374\/thunderlord\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Thunderlord<\/a> are reliable, and a good sniper rifle with ammo-generating perks is excellent for consistent damage on distant targets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Team Composition<\/strong>: While any balanced team can succeed, a few key elements will smooth the experience. Warlocks with <a href=\"https:\/\/destiny.fandom.com\/wiki\/Well_Of_Radiance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Well of Radiance<\/a> are a cornerstone for survivability. Titans using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.light.gg\/db\/items\/1591207519\/crest-of-alpha-lupi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Crest of Alpha Lupi<\/a> for team healing or contributing significant damage with Thundercrash are excellent additions. Hunters provide strong boss damage with <a href=\"https:\/\/destiny.fandom.com\/wiki\/Golden_Gun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Golden Gun<\/a> and exceptional add control with grapple-centric builds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/the-edge-of-fate-campaign.webp\" alt=\"Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate Campaign Boost\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate Campaign Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Skip Grind, Enjoy Game!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/destiny-2\/boost\/the-edge-of-fate-campaign\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Core Raid Mechanics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1071\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/edge-of-fate-new-season-launch-11.webp\" alt=\"How to Beat the Desert Perpetual Raid in Destiny 2 \u2013 Full Encounter Guide\" class=\"wp-image-32611\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/edge-of-fate-new-season-launch-11.webp 1071w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/edge-of-fate-new-season-launch-11-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/edge-of-fate-new-season-launch-11-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Several key systems appear across multiple encounters.

To begin, clear enemies in the central area, take the launcher up the large tower, and interact with one of the three half spheres that serve as podiums to choose your path:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Left Podium\/Plate<\/strong>: Leads to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destinypedia.com\/Epoptes,_Lord_of_Quanta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Epoptes, Lord of Quanta<\/a> (The Hydra).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Middle\/Back Podium\/Plate<\/strong>: Leads to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destinypedia.com\/Agraios,_Inherent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Agraios, Inherent<\/a> (The Hobgoblin).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right Podium\/Plate<\/strong>: Leads to Iatros, Inward-Tuned (The Wyvern).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After selecting an encounter, a traversal section will lead to the arena. It is worth noting that the lore hints from <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/destiny-2\/boost\/the-edge-of-fate-campaign\/\">the Edge of Fate campaign<\/a> are scattered throughout these paths. Upon completing an encounter, the fireteam must return to this central hub, clear any spawned high-value targets to unlock the podiums again, and select the next challenge. Once all three are defeated, the final boss encounter against Koregos, the Worldline becomes available in the main area.

The first wave of enemies will be Goblins. Clear them to spawn a Hydra. Killing the Hydra will, in turn, spawn five Minotaurs. These Minotaurs drop Cobalt Chronons. The objective is to have players run through each of the five large, inactive coils in the center of the arena while holding a Chronon to power them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 2: The Alignment Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all five coils are powered, several powerful Wyverns will spawn. Eliminate them quickly. Following this, three players should stand on the Vex plates, including the center plate, to acquire their Cyclical, Absolute, or Constant Temporality buffs.<br>The encounter\u2019s pace now determines the next step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If your team is fast, a player with a Temporality buff can find the Hobgoblin boss with the matching name, go beneath its platform, and interact with an object to gain the &#8220;Alignment Charge&#8221; buff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If your team is slower, one of the Hobgoblin bosses will begin targeting all players with a high-powered sniper rifle attack, inflicting the Variable Elimination debuff. In this case, the player whose Temporality buff matches the name of the sniping boss is <em>forced<\/em> to go to that boss&#8217;s platform and interact with the object to begin the alignment process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 3: Stabilizing and The Run<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The two Buff Holders who are <em>not<\/em> aligned must now look at the five central coils. They will each see two coils glowing blue instead of red. They must communicate which coils they see (using a 1-5 system), effectively creating a list of four called out portals of energy that must be stabilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three non-buffed Chronon Runners must now kill more Minotaurs for Chronons. They need to run through the four identified coils first, followed by the one remaining &#8220;odd one out&#8221; coil. Once all five coils are stabilized, the player with the Alignment Charge buff must run through all five in sequence, filling their buff&#8217;s meter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 4: The Reflection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a full meter, the Alignment Runner&#8217;s grenade is replaced with a Refraction Field. To trigger DPS, another player must bait the Variable Elimination shot by standing in the open and counting down their timer aloud. When the timer hits its last 2-3 seconds, the Alignment Runner must deploy the Refraction Field on the targeted player. If timed correctly, the shot is reflected, and the boss teleports down to the ground to begin the damage phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/the-desert-perpetual-last-boss.webp\" alt=\"Destiny 2 The Desert Perpetual Last Boss Boost\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Buy Destiny 2 The Desert Perpetual Last Boss Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Skip Grind, Enjoy Game!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/destiny-2\/boost\/the-desert-perpetual-last-boss\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Damage Phase and Extension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After a short delay, the boss becomes vulnerable. The Alignment Runner must immediately run the gauntlet of all five coils again to acquire another Refraction Field. After a period of damage, the boss will teleport back up to an elevated platform. The Alignment Runner must once again use their Refraction Field to reflect a sniper shot, bringing the boss back down and extending the damage phase. This can be done a second time for a total of three damage windows per cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Encounter Tips:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Solar and\/or Sniper Damage Resist mods are highly recommended. A good sniper rifle can also be used to pressure the bosses on the upper platforms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try not to kill the final Hydra until just before you are ready for the damage phase. Killing it too early will spawn Minotaurs that will cause significant flinch during DPS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Encounter 2: Iatros, Inward-Tuned (The Wyvern)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1071\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/the-edge-of-fate-raid-16.webp\" alt=\"Destiny 2 Desert Perpetual Guide \u2013 Mechanics, Buffs &amp; Boss Strategies\" class=\"wp-image-32613\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/the-edge-of-fate-raid-16.webp 1071w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/the-edge-of-fate-raid-16-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/the-edge-of-fate-raid-16-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Objective: Coordinate synchronized shots to build a series of platforms for a climber, all while managing a constantly draining hourglass to prevent a wipe. This is generally considered a simpler encounter, trading mechanical complexity for rhythmic precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roles:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Climber (1 Player)<\/strong>: Ascends the platforms to initiate the damage phase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Platform Builders (3 Players)<\/strong>: Each assigned to one of the three Vex columns, responsible for the timed shooting mechanic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chronon Depositors (2 Players)<\/strong>: Focus on killing Minotaurs and managing the hourglass timer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Execution: The Path to DPS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 1: Filling the Hourglass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The encounter starts with six Minotaurs spawning in the center. Kill them to collect Chronons. The floating hoop above the hourglass will glow a certain color, indicating where the damage phase will begin (White=Top, Blue=Middle, Red=Low). All six players must jump through the hoop with a Chronon to fill the hourglass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 2: The Diastole Climb<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the hourglass is full, destroy the Vex diamond that appears beneath it. This begins the main phase and grants every player the &#8220;Diastole&#8221; buff. This is a timer that, upon reaching four stacks, launches players upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To create platforms, the three Platform Builders must destroy the bottom Vex cube on their respective columns simultaneously. The timing is precise: the shot must land as the fourth stack of the Diastole buff fills. A successful break, sometimes indicated by two diamonds of light, spawns a set of platforms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Climber must go to the Vex plate matching the encounter&#8217;s color (e.g., the lower platform for Red) and acquire the Absolute Temporality buff, allowing them to see and use the platforms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Climber ascends the first set of platforms and interacts with a holographic box at the top, signaling they are ready for the next level. Let&#8217;s say the Climber is Player A and a specific Platform Builder is Player B. Player A&#8217;s signal is the cue for Player B and the other builders to prepare their next shot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Platform Builders then shoot the middle boxes. This creates new platforms while deleting the old ones, so the Climber must be ready to jump. This process repeats for the final, top boxes. Interacting with the third hologram will begin the damage phase after a short delay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 3: Managing the Wipe Mechanic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The hourglass timer constantly depletes, and failed shots accelerate this. If the hourglass empties, a wipe timer (&#8220;Neomutation&#8221;) begins. Additional Minotaurs spawn throughout the encounter; Chronon Depositors must kill them and hold onto their Chronons to refill the hourglass as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/the-desert-perpetual-memento.webp\" alt=\"Destiny 2 The Desert Perpetual Memento Boost\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Buy Destiny 2 The Desert Perpetual Memento Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Skip Grind, Enjoy Game!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/destiny-2\/boost\/the-desert-perpetual-memento\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Damage Phase and Extension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The team should gather where the Climber&#8217;s platforms were located, as the boss will teleport there.

The two Inside Room Operators must stand on these plates to get a Vex buff, then enter their respective side rooms. Inside, they must stand in the projected light beam from the Hydra&#8217;s shield to pause their buff timer. While in the light, an obelisk will show one of six eyes glowing. This is the callout for the player in the opposite room. This is a reciprocal process where the fireteam&#8217;s collective psyche must be in sync: call out what you see, and shoot what your partner calls out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 2: Wipe Prevention (&#8220;Blocks the Unforeseen&#8221;)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After about four eyes are destroyed on each side, this phase begins. The two Outside Pillar Operators must now get a Temporality buff. They need to stand in the light beam of the main boss in the central arena.

The Constant players must then destroy the weapon turrets to stun the boss and spawn Temporal Oculus pools. This is the top priority as it spawns &#8220;Temporal Oculus&#8221; pools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get Oculus<\/strong>: One Constant, one Absolute, and one Cyclical stand together in a lit Temporal Oculus pool (on a pillar) to gain the buff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Information Chain<\/strong>: The Absolute player calls out the color of the central hourglass ring. The Constant player finds floating mines of that color and points them out. The Cyclical players verify if the indicated mine is &#8220;true&#8221; (glowing) or &#8220;false&#8221; (not glowing). The Constant and Cyclical players must have flawless communication here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Break and Dunk<\/strong>: If a mine is true, the Absolute player shoots it. A Cyclical player picks up the dropped Chronon. This process is repeated for a second Chronon. The two Cyclical players should then deposit their Chronons in rapid succession. The hourglass changes color after each deposit, so dunking them back-to-back is crucial for efficiency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This entire loop needs to be completed three times (for six total Chronons) to fill the hourglass, all before the &#8220;Digitization&#8221; wipe timer expires.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase 2: The Platform Alignment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the hourglass is full, platforms will lead up to the boss&#8217;s upper platform. Here, you must complete another mechanic four times. At four separate totems, there are three inward turned Vex cubes. The Cyclical and Constant players can each only see two. The Absolute player must identify the cube that is common to both their teammates&#8217; vision and activate it. A simple way to do this is to have the Cyclical and Constant players stand where the <em>missing<\/em> Vex cube is from their perspective. The mechanical end of this phase is when all four totems are aligned, and it&#8217;s time to start DPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/the-desert-perpetual-armor-set.webp\" alt=\"Destiny 2 The Desert Perpetual Armor Set Boost\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Buy Destiny 2 The Desert Perpetual Armor Set Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Skip Grind, Enjoy Game!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/destiny-2\/boost\/the-desert-perpetual-armor-set\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Damage Phase and Extension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1071\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/the-edge-of-fate-raid-11.webp\" alt=\"Destiny 2 Edge of Fate Raid \u2013 Desert Perpetual Encounters &amp; Loot\" class=\"wp-image-32617\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/the-edge-of-fate-raid-11.webp 1071w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/the-edge-of-fate-raid-11-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/the-edge-of-fate-raid-11-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After the platform mechanic is complete, the team can DPS the boss&#8217;s glowing red crit spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lasers<\/strong>: The arena will be swept by damaging lasers. Survival remains the top priority; move as a group to avoid them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DPS Extension<\/strong>: A hoop will appear, glowing a certain color. Three Chronons (one of each color) will also spawn at the platform&#8217;s corners. A designated player must find the Chronon that matches the hoop&#8217;s color and jump through it to extend the damage phase. This occurs three times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Stand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After enough damage, the boss enters a final stand which serves as a final, intense DPS check. The lasers become more aggressive. The entire team must focus all firepower to finish the boss. Using a powerful exotic rocket launcher like the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.light.gg\/db\/items\/1202007252\/whirling-ovation\/\">Whirling Ovation<\/a> or other burst damage weapons is advised. Once it is defeated, immediately jump off the platform. Remaining on the platform when it explodes will cause a wipe. A successful clear may be met with a visual spectacle from the disintegrating Vex architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Loot and The Raid Feat System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Desert Perpetual loot table contains a full set of armor for each class and a collection of unique Desert Perpetual weapons, including the aforementioned exotic. After the first completion, the raid introduces a &#8220;Feat&#8221; system. This allows fireteams to launch the raid with custom modifiers active, such as limited revives or a full <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.destinythegame.com\/en\/tune-in\/desert-perpetual\">Contest Mode<\/a> simulation, similar in concept to the challenge cards of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/destiny-2\/boost\/prophecy-dungeon\/\">Prophecy dungeon<\/a>. Playing with feats active increases the tier of gear rewards and grants five additional Spoils of Conquest per feat, per encounter. This progress towards raid mastery might be represented by an internal tracker, perhaps on a scale of 0\/2\u20135 for basic feats up to 0\/2\u20139 for full mastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Loot Table \u2013 The Desert Perpetual<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1071\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/the-edge-of-fate-raid-14.webp\" alt=\"Destiny 2 Desert Perpetual Raid Guide \u2013 Best Loadouts &amp; DPS Tips\" class=\"wp-image-32618\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/the-edge-of-fate-raid-14.webp 1071w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/the-edge-of-fate-raid-14-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/the-edge-of-fate-raid-14-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Desert Perpetual features a full set of Legendary weapons, a raid-exclusive Exotic, and the <em>Collective Psyche<\/em> armor sets.
