In this guide, we’ll show you how to obtain the Feline Armour set in the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The Feline Armour is sometimes referred to as the Cat Armour or the Lynx Armour.
The Feline Armour is a Light Armour set that buffs your attack power, making it the perfect fit for melee-focused DPS builds. It’s possible to make some really overpowered builds with the Feline Armour, such as this Whirl build which can deal massive damage to many enemies in a short space of time.
Like most sets of Witcher Armour in the Witcher 3, you will need to upgrade the armour through several tiers in order to eventually get the most powerful version of the armour. These tiers are:
- Standard (Level 17)
- Enhanced (Level 20)
- Superior (Level 26)
- Mastercrafted (Level 31)
- Grandmaster (Level 40, Requires Blood and Wine DLC)
The Mastercrafted and Grandmaster tiers will unlock additional set bonuses. If you’re wearing at least three pieces, then your strong attacks will increase subsequent fast attack damage by 10% for each piece of the set you’re wearing, for five seconds. If you’re wearing all six pieces, then rear attacks will deal 50% more damage and can stun enemies at the cost of an adrenaline point.
