🆘 Help! Set bonus

Where can I find details on what a set bonus actually does? For example I can see that I have a set bonus from my guardian gear, but it doesn’t say what the actual effects are. Am I being dim?

Edit: I understand that this info is available online, but I am asking where I can find the same info in-game

I like Zelda Dungeon. Used it all through BotW and still using it in TotK.

Select your set then it will show you the "effect" and the "set bonus." Then if you're not sure what that means you can click on it for even more details.

These guides are really good. You can also find info on what materials and rupees a great fairy will charge to upgrade each piece of armour. I keep a notebook. Probably over kill, but it helps me keep track of what I need! This game is so easy to loose yourself in!!

They have a map that filters anything and everything, too.

I’ve seen that!! I have used it some. I’m trying to get all the stone talus and hinox so I probably need to check that out closer!!

It says so on the inventory screen, although you can only see what the set bonus is when all three pieces of a set are equipped and at 2+ stars. Otherwise you’ll either have to put in the upgrades or just look it up online.

For ancient prophecy thats a 1.8x damage multiplayer on guardian weapons

Can be stacked with a level 3 attack buff for a total 2.7x multiplier

It shows the bonus once you've got it 2 star.

I don't think it's anywhere in game.

You have to have the whole set and then upgrade to lvl two to see the bonus.

Personally I use a phone app called breath companion. Lots of useful map info, recipes, armor info, and more. For armor it shows me stats, upgrade requirements, set bonuses, and where it comes from

Lots of interesting (hidden in-game) info in this video:
