Elden Ring: equipment weight and convenient evasion

If after changing armor the character begins to evade differently, check the load of the equipment. The overall weight is more important than the type of individual item.

Look at the parameters

Open the characteristics screen and compare the current load with the available limit. Check everything you have equipped, including any spare weapons in your slots. Highly protective clothing can change the nature of the evasion if the total weight transfers the character to a different load category.

Compare two sets

Prepare an easier set and try it on a familiar enemy. Compare the distance and responsiveness of the dodge, then the amount of damage on a mistake. Choose a balance that makes it easier for you to carry out your tactics. Don't evaluate a kit based solely on the sum of its defensive indicators: the time for recovery and action also affects the result.

Consider your fighting style

Playing through the backboard and playing with frequent rolls have different requirements. Stamina is needed for both attack and defense. Before a big battle, check if there is a heavy item left in the additional slot that you do not use. Check the exact thresholds and effects with the current game data, especially after the update.
