With more than 70 pieces of gear available in total, Forspoken allows players to experiment with some pretty unique builds. However, the most important component of any setup is arguably Frey's cloak, which, as well as boosting players' Health, Stamina, and Defense stats, can also provide them with some pretty unique effects.

Which is the Best Cloak in Forspoken?

forspoken-best-cloaks-forfend

The best cloak in Forspoken will likely vary from player to player, depending on both their skill level and their play style. Players who are calm and calculated in their approach to combat will likely find the Forfend cloak to be the best option, though if they don't tend to use Surge Magic that often, the Bonifate cloak may also be appealing. For those who focus more on defense and dodging, the Incomparable and Veriment cloaks should come in handy.

forspoken-best-cloaks-unbroken

As players head toward the end-game, however, the Unbroken cloak becomes very difficult to ignore, particularly when paired with the Spectrum Nail Design (unlocked by defeating the Deinosuchus Abomination in the Moulderings area of Avoalet) and the Balle Balle Necklace (unlocked by completing The Place of Prayer in The Sacred Peaks area of Cipal). This Critical Hit focussed build can be deadly in the right hands and makes the Unbroken one of the very best cloaks in Forspoken.

Forspoken is available now on PS5 and PC.
