We all know that Souls style games are really about fashion, but sometimes you've just got to survive. Use the convenient, searchable checklist to track your acquired armor, and optimize your build based on your desired dodge roll speed and damage resistance type. Because not all threats are physical, the optimizer works for all non-physical damage affinities as well. Try light rolling. It's fun! If you like your helmet, you can keep it. Using the helmet specific optimizer lets you optimize around any head piece of your choice. Currently the optimizer is English only. Requests for other languages will be considered. Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring optimizers also available.
