Top Armor Sets in KCD2 Revealed

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, armor sets play a unique role compared to other RPGs. Unlike many games, you won't gain a bonus for wearing a complete set. Instead, sets are often named after their source—be it a location or a specific enemy. Here, we'll guide you through the best armor sets available, focusing on protection, stealth, and overall utility.

Best Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Best Armor Sets for Protection

Praguer Guard Armor

Screenshot by The Escapist The Praguer Guard Armor isn't just about its stats; it's a game-changer for the "Reckoning" quest. Wearing this armor lets you move freely through the camp without being questioned or attacked, making the quest significantly easier. Additionally, it offers solid protection with defense stats ranging from 269 stab resistance, 312 slash resistance, to 146 blunt resistance, depending on its quality.

Cuman Armor

Available in the latter half of the game from the Kuttenberg Region's Cuman Camp during the "Bellatores" side quest, this set is ideal for combat-focused players. It doesn't support stealth due to high noise and conspicuousness but provides robust defense stats: 149 stab resistance, 181 slash resistance, and 65 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Milanese Cuirass Armor

You can purchase this armor from merchants in Kuttenberg City, though it's on the pricier side. It's heavy but offers excellent protection with 392 stab resistance, 286 slash resistance, and 100 blunt resistance, depending on quality. Its availability every 7 in-game days makes it a reliable choice for well-prepared players.

Vavak Soldier Armor

While the chest piece might not be the best, other pieces offer significant stab and slash resistance: 352 stab resistance, 264 slash resistance, and 99 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Brunswick Armor

Exclusive to pre-order players who complete the "Lion's Crest" side quest, this set is a boon early in the game. With impressive defense stats of 704 stab resistance, 567 slash resistance, and 239 blunt resistance, it's a valuable asset before reaching Semine's wedding.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

For those lucky enough to obtain it through Twitch drops, the Cutpurse Armor is perfect for stealth missions. Its defense stats are modest at 24 stab resistance, 53 slash resistance, and 54 blunt resistance, but its stealth benefits are unmatched.

Overall Best Armor

The key to maximizing your defense in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is not sticking to one set but mixing and matching pieces to suit your build. While full sets look great in cutscenes, they don't offer combat advantages. Remember, alongside armor, choosing the best weapons can significantly impact your gameplay. A skilled combatant might only need a sword, shield, and basic armor to navigate the game's challenges effectively.
