But what does it actually take to get your hands on a full Superior set? As a dragon armor specialist, allow me to share the best methods!
What is Superior Dragon Armor?

Obtaining the Armor Pieces
There are two main methods of acquiring Superior armor:
killing Superior Dragons or crafting with Fragments.

- Meet weight requirements to optimize drops!
Method 2: Crafting with Fragments

- Reliable way to get armor, but fragments are ~14k coins each

Requirements for Using Effectively
To utilize Superior‘s unmatched strength, you‘ll need:
- Combat 20 – to equip armor pieces
- 6k HP – comfortable health pool for T4 dragons
- 100% Crit Chance & 300+ Strength – maximize damage output
- Strong Weapon (AOTD, Hyperion) – take advantage of stat boosts
Yes, Superior is STILL Worth Getting in 2024
With new dungeon armor entering the meta, is Superior still worth the investment in 2024? Absolutely.
No other armor grants Superior‘s massive Strength and Critical Damage bonuses. It remains the single best set for boosting melee damage through the stratosphere.
The special ability buffing yourself AND nearby players also makes Superior extremely valuable for team fights like dragons and dungeons.
