To acquire the Commanding Champion set, you need to unlock the When Clouds of Vengeance Part side mission. This mission asks you to fight three enemies to recover the parts of the set. The quest only becomes available after you’ve completed the ??? side mission in Tobe.
You already start the mission with one of the three parts of the armor. The second part you find northeast from where you are, close to a shrine. To retrieve this one you need to face the fugitive Unconfinable Ushimatsu. Now, to get to the third part, you need to go where one of the characters is and help them fight some enemies.
