Generally when I play games, I tend to gravitate towards characters that sacrifice defense for speed or attack, so I thought we would add a cool new armor that does this for speed, since Chaos and Mad Bomber do this for damage.

The line will start at 4*

4* Set EDIT: UNDER DEBATE IF THE LINE SHOULD START AT 4* OR START RIGHT AT 5* LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shadow cloak:

Defense: Mainly normal with a split between elemental/shadow defense. These defenses would be quite bad for a 4*
Special stats: Lv1 , ASI low, Lv10 MSI low ASI low
Description: A black set of garb which tightly encases the wearer (if anyone would be willing to draw concept art it would be greatly appreciated, as I can not draw)

Shadow cowl:
Defense: same as shadow cloak
Special stats: same as shadow cloak
Description: a black hood which hides the users eyes so he may watch without being spotted.

5* set
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nightmare Raiment

Defense: slightly better than that of the shadow cloak's, but also with curse defense, still very bad defense for a 5*
Special stats: lv1 MSI low ASI low lv10 MSI med ASI med DASH TIME REDUCTION med
Description: a cloak which is said to be able to allow the wearer to turn into shadows, and invade the minds of those who sleep.

Nightmare Shroud

Defense: same as raiment
Special stats: same as raiment
Description: A hood which is said to eliminate the presence of the wearer.

Crafting:
It would be crafted from the elemental set, I'm bad at exact costs, so if someone wants to work those out I would be happy to add them to the main post

Any ideas are welcome and will be considered.

Swiftstrike buckler sacrifices defense for speed.
It's not an armor but... there isn't a "chaos shield" either.

I'm aware

I'm aware of swift strike juances, I just want something that takes that to the max

This is an interesting idea. My recommendation: it might make more sense if it came from the angelic crafting like instead of magic, since a.) chaos already comes from the magic line, and b.) the fallen set already gives a universal ASI low. Either way, however, I would stick with the pattern that both the magic and angelic lines follow, i.e., make it a 5* only set--otherwise it would be the only crafting line in any of the magic or angelic sets that breaks off at 4* to become something else. Similarly, I understand the idea that this set would be for speed what chaos is to damage (hence ASI med, MSI med at 5*), but in terms of balance I think also having dash time reduction (DTR?) would push it toward being too OP--even compared to the chaos set. If you really want to keep the DTR (which is a neat idea, and something that several people talked about on the testing forums) you might think about lowering the ASI and MSI to low. Wearing the full set, you could still zip around the map with MSI med and the DTR, and the addition of a swiftstrike would get you very near to ASI max on all your weapons without any UVs or trinkets.

@Narfle

In exchange for the DTR, the defense is going to be even lower than that of Chaoses, extremely low. Also I feel that simply in armor design it will be closer to that of the magic line's so I think it should stay there. Personally, after thinking about it, I agree it should also be only 5*, so I will put the 4* as "under debate" thank you very much for the suggestions.
