Half of your success in Soulslike games depends on the equipment you use, especially armor. Fortunately, in Lords of the Fallen, you can find plenty of options for any build, but to save you a lot of time, we’ll list for you the 5 best armor sets in the game. There will be many situations during the game when your armor is unsuitable for certain battles or locations, so you should always have a second or third option. Among the sets we’ve described, you can choose the ones that best suit your playstyle and build.
In Lords of the Fallen, you can find about 80 different armor sets, each with unique characteristics, pros and cons. Given that survival in Soulskile games is quite difficult, you’ll have to change your gear frequently to deal with enemies or the conditions you’re in. Yes, you may get attached to one of the armor sets and want to keep it until the end of the game, but pay attention that with every step you take, the enemies become stronger and stronger, not to mention the effects they can impose on you. To skillfully deal with this, we recommend choosing several sets of armor from our list and understanding which one works best for you.
5. Cursed Armor Set
For some reason, many players underestimate the Cursed Armor Set, but they aren’t right. It’s a great, balanced set with high defense to physical and wither damage, which will be a good choice both at the beginning and in the middle of the game. Despite its dilapidated appearance, you can easily take advantage of the armor against both regular enemies and bosses.
You can get it by visiting Manse of the Hallowed Brothers and Soulflaying the Umbral Belly.
4. Fitzroy’s Armor Set
This armor is not only incredibly beautiful but also works best against poison. Considering that it is one of the heaviest sets in the game, you will also get excellent physical defense. In addition to creating various builds, Fitzroy’s Armor Set will help you easily deal with The Congregator of Flesh, given that most of his attacks are based on the usage of poison.
Luckily, you don’t have to fight anyone to get this armor, and you can find it at the end of Fitzroy’s Gorge area on the tower in the chest.
3. Sovereign Protector Set
The Sovereign Protector Set has one of the highest physical protection stats in the game, and overall, the armor is well-balanced and suitable for almost any situation. We recommend using this armor as your main one as soon as you get it because creating powerful builds and defeating enemies is much easier with this set.
It’s not difficult to get, and you don’t even have to fight a boss. All you need to do is explore Sunless Skin mines, where you can find the armor in a chest.
2. Judge Cleric’s Set
If you prefer radiance builds, relying on powerful holy magic, or simply playing as Orian Preacher, then this armor will be the perfect choice for you. This set has the highest Holy Protection among others, as well as additional protection against Bleeding and Smite Attacks. This armor will be helpful in many battles, especially at the end, if you want to achieve the Inferno ending.
To get it, you will need to go through a significant part of the story, up to the battle with the Judge Cleric. After killing the boss, you can get his remembrance to bring to Molhu and buy the set.
1. Tancred’s Set
And finally, the best armor we’ll discuss is Tancred’s Set. This is a heavy armor that has the highest defense against physical damage, as well as excellent protection against fire attacks. If you want to make a tank build, then this set is definitely the best choice and will allow you to be resilient and strong in melee.
It is difficult to get the armor because you will need to defeat the Tower of Penance bosses: Tancred and Reinhold. When you do, take their remembrance and bring in Molhu to get the set.
