Which armor is good besides SA? I think that has too much required strength anyways.

Any eth elite armor works. Only base I would never roll is a Shadow Plate. 220 Str is hard to get, and you might as well go SA. Good balance would be Dusk, since you can use it on both an A2 and A1 Merc if you so choose. I also prefer 700+ def armors or any superior base with ED.

Archon plate is considered one of the best bases because of the low strength requirement.

As a rule of thumb, any base that is over 750+ defense is fine.

If you are self found, 900 plus armors are very hard to find. It can take weeks.

Fort stats don't really matter, it changes your mercs survivability even if it was built in a Gothic plate.
