Manticore Armor is a medium witcher chest armor from Blood and Wine. It gives 240 armor and +25% crit damage at level 40, the highest crit damage of any chest piece outside NG+ legendary gear. It belongs to the Manticore set, which comes in a single Grandmaster tier. The diagram is in Lebioda's cave, found during Scavenger Hunt: Grandmaster Manticore Gear. It is a late-game find in Toussaint.
It also gives +5 maximum toxicity, +19% piercing, +24% slashing and +28% monster resistance. The set bonuses carry crits over to bombs and add alchemy charges. Together with the toxicity and the crit damage, they suit an alchemy and bombs build.
Set Bonus
The Manticore set is medium armor with a single tier, Grandmaster at level 40, plus an NG+ legendary variant. 3 pieces: crit chance and crit damage also apply to bombs, and bombs are thrown with no delay. 6 pieces: each alchemy item gets 1 extra charge.
