Hover Greave

A Hover Greave is a pair of Boots introduced introduced in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

Basic Description[]

The Hover Greave increases the wearer's base Defense by 20 points, and also multiplies Agility by a factor of 1.5. They can be sold for 3375 coins and subsequently rebought for 4500 coins.

To obtain the Hover Greave, the player must bring the forgeable item, Quality Zol to Obaba in Champa. She will then forge the Zol into one of five items, with the Hover Greave being one possibility. She will then give the Hover Greave to the player free of charge. The Hover Greave can only be equipped by Warrior-style Adepts, namely Matthew, Tyrell, and Eoleo.

Analysis[]

The Hover Greave is one of the more useful pairs of Boots introduced in Dark Dawn. Not only do they possess the second strongest Defense boost in the game, but they provide a significant Agility increase that remains beneficial throughout the game. Additionally, their status as a forgeable item makes them one of the few pairs of Boots that can be obtained in multiple. The Mars Adepts Tyrell and Eoleo can benefit the most from the boost. The Hover Greave not only boosts their already significant Defenses, but help to increase each Adept's middling speed.
