I'm not the kind of person who can wear what looks good in a game like botw
I'm the one switching to full barbarian armor right before an attack connects then switching back
Oh. I mean, if you’re fighting a Lynel with a spear, fully enhanced Barbarian Armor will work. Considering the spear deals 30 damage and you have 60 defense.
And it seems like even with a Savage Lynel Sword, it breaks before the Lynel is down. (I use fresh ones with durability +). I gotta use Barbarian armor in order to make it last, and even then, it can only take like 4 more hits afterwards.
But I think I have a solution to your dilemma. Wear high defense gear or whatever area it fits and use a dish. 4 bananas and a horn shard work really well.
