Longtooths from Adolescent to Guardian have been known to deal 100% Impact damage while Longtooth Dominants and above have been suspected to deal a mix of about 70% Impact to 30% Penetration (
see this thread by Mega for more information regarding Longtooth maturities).
Below you will find some recommended Armor set ups for each known Longtooth maturity, starting with the weakest armors and working our way up to Armors that are strong enough to be used on their own, without any armor plates added. These recommendations are made based on what Armors are most popular in the game, or which ones are most easily available or cheapest. For clarity and ease of reading, I've omitted many armors which just aren't that easy to find for purchase, either on the auction or in this forum. The set ups below aim to protect sufficiently so that there is no need to heal (consider these recommendations balanced for someone with an Evade level ~20, if yours is much higher, you may not need as much protection).
Lastly, please note that these recommendations are made based on information gathered during past Migrations and there is no guarantee that everything will be 100% identical this time around, MA might have some surprises in store for us. Should anything be different, I will update these recommendations below as soon as I am made aware.
