Top Armor Sets in KCD2 Revealed

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, armor sets differ from traditional RPG mechanics in that you won't receive bonuses for wearing a complete set. Instead, these sets are often collected from a specific location or defeated enemies, with names typically reflecting their origin. Exceptions include sets obtained through Twitch drops or pre-orders.

Best Armor Sets for Protection

Praguer Guard Armor

The Praguer Guard Armor isn't chosen for its stats but for its utility in the late-game quest "Reckoning." Wearing this armor allows you to freely navigate the camp without being questioned or attacked by guards, simplifying the quest to find Sam. Alongside this advantage, it offers robust protection with defense stats of 269 stab resistance, 312 slash resistance, and 146 blunt resistance, depending on its quality.

Cuman Armor

The Cuman Armor is acquired from enemies in the Kuttenberg Region during the "Bellatores" side quest in Bylany. While it's not suitable for stealth due to its high noise and conspicuousness, it provides excellent protection against slashing and blunt damage, ideal for combat-heavy quests. Its defense stats are 149 stab resistance, 181 slash resistance, and 65 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Milanese Cuirass Armor

The Milanese Cuirass Armor can be purchased from merchants in Kuttenberg City. Although expensive, it offers solid defense against damage with stats of 392 stab resistance, 286 slash resistance, and 100 blunt resistance, depending on quality. Keep in mind its weight if you plan to carry multiple armor sets.

Vavak Soldier Armor

You can obtain the Vavak Soldier Armor by looting soldiers accompanying Vavak during a confrontation at the Ruthards' palace. While taking the armor is considered theft, the Ruthards don't mind as you're stealing from their enemies. The chest piece might not be the best, but the other pieces offer significant stab and slash defense. Defense stats are 352 stab resistance, 264 slash resistance, and 99 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Brunswick Armor

The Brunswick Armor set is exclusive to pre-order players and is acquired by completing the "Lion's Crest" side quest. It's highly valuable because you can get it early in the game, before Semine's wedding, which helps in surviving early quests. Its defense stats are impressive at 704 stab resistance, 567 slash resistance, and 239 blunt resistance when wearing the full set.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

The Cutpurse Armor, obtained through Twitch drops, is perfect for stealth. Unfortunately, if you missed the drops, you might not get another chance soon unless the developers reintroduce past drops. Its defense stats are 24 stab resistance, 53 slash resistance, and 54 blunt resistance when wearing the full set.

Overall Best Armor

The best armor strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* involves mixing and matching pieces to suit your specific build needs. While a full set might look good in cutscenes, it doesn't provide combat advantages. Remember, armor helps reduce damage, but don't overlook the importance of selecting the best weapons to complement your gear. With skilled combat, you might only need a sword, shield, and basic armor to complete quests successfully.
