Forspoken Tier List [V.1.12]

Discover the Best Cloaks in Forspoken with Our Tier List.

Forspoken is a hot topic in the gaming community nowadays. It’s an action role-playing game available for both Playstation and Microsoft. There are many gears, and equipment players can stumble upon in the game and use to improve their game. So our Forspoken Tier List will focus on all the available Cloaks in the game, which we will rank in the shape of a ranking list. The game follows the story of a young woman named Frey Holland who travels to the magical land of Athia from New York City. Frey uses her unique powers to navigate this realm on her way home, encountering numerous challenges and gaining friends.

Before diving into the details, we would like to clarify that our article is solely based on our thoughts on our experience. Due to different schools of thought, many readers might not completely agree with all the rankings, but that is perfectly acceptable because we are all free to have our opinions. Let’s get to our rankings with that being out of the way.

S Tier

S Tier.

The strongest Cloaks in the game will be found at the S Tier. Due to their strength, gaining them won’t be simple, and you’ll need to do a lot of grinding and challenge clearing to obtain them.

Unstoppable

We will begin with Unstoppable, arguably the strongest Cloak in Forspoken. With it is equipped, Frey’s attacks will inflict more magic spill damage and will suffer somewhat less fall damage. The players can get Unstoppable by defeating all the enemies in Militis Academy, located in the Southwest of Praenost. Once the quest is completed, you can get your hands on the luxurious Cloak.

Pelerine

Unlike Unstoppable, it can be found very early in your adventure. It’s fairly easy to be obtained; all you have to do is head East toward Locked Labyrinth to get the Pelerine Cloak. You must defeat the opponents in three rooms before taking on a menacing monster to acquire it. It’s a great early-game Cloak that boosts Frey’s stamina and can regenerate good health after landing a critical hit.

A Tier

A Tier.

The A rank of the Forspoken Cloak tier list will be home to those items that aren’t considered the strongest, but are still are very powerful. Due to a slight flaw, we believe they can’t quite make it to the S Tier.

Judicious

This particular Cloak will give the players protection from various powerful attacks. Fray will do less damage when equipped, so you don’t have to worry too much about losing your health. It offers nothing in terms of attack, making it a suitable choice for encounters where you are extremely concerned with maintaining a full health bar.

Gracious

Gracious can be found in the Psychic Garden located in the Bhulna Villa. Once you complete the required task, a chest will appear where you find the Gracious Cloak. When it’s obtained, it will give Fray a massive defensive boost. Not only that, but when you use any healing items, it’ll also give you more strong defensive stats.

Purple Magic 6

Fain

The Fain clock gives the player a 5% increase in health and a 2% increase in both Purple and Red Magic. After completing the Locked Labyrinth task located on the Mountain base, the Fain Cloak can be acquired.

Fearless

Fearless is another of those Cloaks that restores your health. When the enemies are defeated while it’s equipped, a significant amount of  Fray’s health will be regenerated. To obtain it, you will have to complete the Oxys Guild mission.

Purple Magic 12

Hooded Cloak

The Hooded Cloak can be obtained fairly early in the game; you can find it in chapter 3. Once you get your hands on it, you’ll get a massive boost in critical attacks and a 5% defense boost.

Health 21

B Tier

B Tier
B Tier.

The Cloaks of the B Tier of our Forspoken Tier List don’t initially appear to be very good, but with the appropriate approach and strategy, you can maximize their potential.

Audacious

Before going to the Visorian Plateau, go to the Ruins of Mercador to earn the Audacious Cloak. Eliminating the enemies in the area can unlock a chest containing the Audacious Cloak. The Audacious provides more overall statistic increases, including +5% health, +2% Red Magic, and +2% Purple Magic. Having stated that, it offers more advantages than only increases. If Frey has all of her stamina, the Audacious Cloak will also lessen the damage suffered by her.

Green Magic 6

Puissant

Puissant functions much differently from the other Cloaks. According to the number of foes nearby, Fray’s stats rise. Her stats will increase the more enemies she faces. You would want more enemies to surround you to gain greater stat boosts after you have the Pusissant Cloak.

When Surge Magic is fully charged, it increases the critical rate and occasionally poisons the enemies. You can get the Cloak after completing the Locked Labyrinth mission.

Elite

Elite is one of those Cloaks that is only accessible with a pre-order of Forspoken. Players who pre-ordered it on PC will receive it, while others who missed out on this opportunity are out of luck.

Health 32

Monsterful

To obtain Monsterful, you must complete the Locked Labyruthn Forest task. Once done, you will be presented with the Cloak which will aid you in your adventure by boosting Fray’s attacks.

The Cloaks’ abilities will weaken as we descend farther on our Forspoken Tier List.

Faultless

Faultless will increase Fray’s chances of landing a critical hit. However, there is a condition for that: the players must have a full health bar. You must complete a small mission in the Molybods Guild to obtain it. Once the task is concluded, the players will get their hands on Faultless.

No Limits

Ok, this particular Cloak will only be available for players who have pre-ordered the game for their PlayStation 5. Players playing on other consoles or the PS5 without pre-ordering Forspoken will not have access to No Limit. However, please don’t be too disappointed as it’s not a very strong piece of gear, so you are not missing out on anything strong.
Health 32

Valorous

When Frey’s helpful bracelet helper Cuff stops damage, the Valorous Cloak’s beneficial ability increases the rate at which surge magic recharges. The Valorous Cloak makes a significant difference when playing with a build that greatly emphasizes Frey’s surge magic. That allows Frey to use magic attacks much more frequently and provides the player the opportunity to create genuinely broken weapons build. You can find Valorous in the Ligare location of the game.

Red Magic 6

Lief

Lief gives the players a 2% increase in Red and Purple magic. When equipped, you can absorb health from nearby enemies, which can be very advantageous in situations with low health. You will need to beat the Locked Labyrinth: Barrier task to obtain it.

D Tier

D Tier.

The D rank will bring an end to our Forspoken Cloak tier list. This has the weakest Claoks on our list. Even yet, certain players might still be able to employ them effectively.

Dauntless

Dauntless gives the players great buff when it’s obtained. Similarly, Fray will take much less damage, which is very helpful in encounters with stronger enemies. On the map, move east toward Praenost’s northern region to locate the Cloak. When completed, Brass Cavern, a quest located near Brass Hollow, will grant the Dauntless Cloak the greatest equipment.

Stranith

Stranith allows Fray to recover health quickly, but as the game has to offer far better Cloaks that can do the same job far better, we believe it belongs to the lower ranks. You can get it only by buying it from a trader.
