Ancient Set Hyon (Dragon Set): Stats, Bonuses and How to Obtain
Complete guide to the Ancient Set Hyon (Dragon Set) in MU Online S6: detailed stats, set bonuses, drop locations, and comparison with other sets.
What is the Ancient Hyon Set?
The Ancient Hyon Set is one of the ancient armor combinations available for the Dark Knight in MU Online Season 6. It is based on the Dragon Set — the level 70 armor designed for the DK — and receives the Hyon prefix when it appears with the ancient set option.
Ancient sets are special versions of existing armor that possess, in addition to normal and excellent attributes, fixed set options that activate as you equip more pieces with the same prefix.

The Dragon Set is composed of 5 armor pieces. All of them can carry the Hyon prefix:
