She often switches between offense and support roles, with the latter leaving her vulnerable to enemy attacks.
It can make choosing the best armor a little tricky.
Leather Bangle
Forged out of leather scraps, the Leather Bangle is reliable armor in the early game.
Unfortunately, the Leather Bangle soon loses its groove in the latter stages of the game.
Copper Bracer
The Copper Bracer is said to have been mass-produced during the war.
It boasts good enough physical damage, albeit less than the Leather Bangle.
However, it makes up for the deficit with a higher magical defense.
You gain an extra Materia slot, granting you access to a broader range of attack spells and abilities.
Its always better to get the armor with more Materia slots.
That way, you’ve got the option to maximize your upgrades.
Physical defense:11
Magic defense:11
Materia Slots:2
First, earn crafting experience up to level three.
Further, the armor comes with three Materia slots and one Materia link.
This gives you more room to customize Aeriths playstyle.
Cetran Armlet
The Cetran Armlet offers protection against physical and elemental attacks in equal measure.
Its no surprise, given its whooping defense stats; you unlock it much later in the game.
Its well worth the wait, though, mainly thanks to its staggering Materia slots.
With eight slots available, you might cast wide-ranging spells and gain significant boosts to your best stats.
You only need to wait it out to get it as the best endgame armor for Aerith.
It boasts pretty impressive physical defense stats, nearly close to double the Cetran Armlets.
Its magic defense stats arent too bad, either.
In any case, Garm Bangle is mainly physical-focused.
Plus, you might always use its five Materia slots to pump up the magic defense stat.
Alternatively, you could consider the even more powerful Enhanced Garm Bangle.
