Defensive Equipment
Overall best defensive Blood Veils: GXL Defender and Silver Garb.

vs Yeti: Winter Mantle
Reason: Ice damage is most prevalent.

vs Cannoneer & Blade Bearer: Silver Garb
Reason: Covers Slash, Fire, and Ice damage types.

vs Juzo Mido: Night Fang
Reason: Has high Slash defense, as well as Inhibit resistance.

vs Successor of the Claw: Silver Garb
Reason: Has a good balance between Slash and Fire defense.

vs The Virgin Born: Noble Silver
Reason: Has the highest Crush defense, as well as high Light Gift strength. This boss is resistant to all elements, so buff up and smack it with physical damage.
Notes
・The last boss' lightning-like attack actually deals crushing damage;

・Even by combining a high-physical-defense Blood Veil with Iron Will and Juggernaut you will still receive damage from physical attacks. Adding Shifting Hollow and Vanishing Hollow will allow you to dodge consecutive strikes with ease.

1 question for the boss weak and strong, is it from the boss stat it self or from player view what i mean is that if a boss is strong with fire do we use fire or no?

It's important to note that the invading executioner is weak to stun ailment. You should add ailments to the tables too.

The wiki says that the Gilded Hunter gains defense when charging attacks. That's the only mention of this mechanic that I've seen so far.

maybe Hanatani knows something since he/she is the 1 who mentioned it

Are you talking about the hyper-resistance they get at the beginning of combat and during phase switch? Because I can't seem to find anything about attack animation hyper-resistance, and I've never noticed it myself.
I'll check it myself during my next playthrough, but if you could tell me where to find more info, I would be very grateful.
