Best Stillsuits in Dune Awakening
Best stillsuits in Dune Awakening: which one to take for long trips, fighting and gathering, what each unique gives and what to avoid.
Contents
A stillsuit recovers the water your body loses in the desert; without one you won't get far. Here is which one to wear for your job and what each unique gives.
What to pick
- For long trips:
6Villari's Stillsuit Garment — For long stays in the desert: every piece reclaims more water than a regular stillsuit. The best pick for gathering and long treks when water is scarce. - Against the sun:
6Pardot's Hood — Reduces harm from direct sunlight and heat buildup, so heatstroke comes much later. You can wear it with any stillsuit or even with combat armor. - More water in reserve: 6Shaddam's Bladder — Has a much bigger catchpocket than a regular stillsuit: it stores more water, so you go longer without drinking. Handy for long solo trips.
- For PvE: 6Imperial Stillsuit Garment — The most armored stillsuit: its body has more armor than the Forge chest and keeps the usual stillsuit sun protection. A pick for players who run into fights in the desert but don’t want to swap gear.
- All-round pick: 6Crew Chief’s Stillsuit Garment — A light stillsuit that significantly reduces dash stamina cost. A good body piece for spice harvesting on foot, when you need to run from the worm.
- Early game:
1Hollower Stillsuit Garment — A tier 1 armored stillsuit with several times the armor of the Scavenger suit. A good start in southern Hagga Basin.
Tips
- The trade-off is simple: a stillsuit reclaims water and protects better from the sun, while armor protects better in a fight. While water is tight, wear a stillsuit; once you have a big literjon, combat armor pays off more.
- A stillsuit has no blade or dart mitigation, only armor value. Change into combat armor before raiding a camp or going into PvP.
- You can mix pieces: Pardot's Hood, Desert Garb and Tabr Softstep Boots with combat armor give you both sun protection and combat mitigation.
- Heatstroke hits when you're low on water and out in the sun: it shrinks your stamina and limits dashing. Shade and water clear it.
- Stillsuit lines: armored (Hollower, Menol's, Kel's, Shadrath's, Saturnine, Imperial) for more armor; efficient (Maraqeb, Batigh, Villari's) for more water; dash (Desert Dasher up to Crew Chief's) for cheaper dashing; hoods (Shadow, Shaded, Pardot's) for less heat.
