Latent effect?

How is the latent effect activated? I looked on the latent and hidden effects page but I saw no description for this armor set. I would like to know b/c the latent effect is awesome. I'm thinking it's probably active when u hit a certain amount of hp like 25% or 50% or something. Any info would be greatly appreciated.--Baraddur 23:58, 30 September 2006 (EDT)

It activates at red HP (25% and below). The other pieces activate at higher HP (hands are at yellow, head is at orange), so you progressively get stronger and harder to kill when wearing this set.
I don't know why the activator isn't on this page; I'll add it right now. ~ Karuberu 00:13, 1 October 2006 (EDT)

Edit: Thank you for clearing that up. This armor set kicks. I'm surprised more people don't wear this. --Baraddur 16:39, 1 October 2006 (EDT)

Friend of mine was wearing this stuff on DRG/WHM when I was on BRD/NIN and he was helping me work on Dagger of Trials latent. We found that by using some Paeon to keep him steady at low HP, he was nearly indestructible. --Aramina 16:10, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
