Cactus Set

The Cactus Set turns the destruction of armor into a permanent stat gain — every time a Cactus piece breaks, all your stats increase by 1 forever. Combined with the +2 Thorns from wearing the set, enemies who attack you take damage, hastening your pieces' eventual destruction and accelerating your stat gains. The ideal strategy is to build around deliberately cycling through Cactus pieces for maximum stat snowball.
