Best Armor in The Lords of the Fallen

Being a Soulslike game, The Lords of the Fallen doesn’t go easy on you. Its gameplay is punishing. There’s no debate about whether getting the best armor matters. Even more so, thanks to a whopping armor repertoire – 80 in total – it can get tricky to pick one. When considering the best armor in The Lords of the Fallen, you’ll want to factor in your play style.

Heavy armor can potentially slow you down. Meanwhile, light armor can withstand elemental attacks a little bit better. Also, the early game kicks off relatively more complicatedly, thanks to limited armor sets. You’ll need to know which enemies to prioritize to harvest the best armor or where to buy them. So, without much adieu, here’s the best armor in The Lords of the Fallen.

5. Udirangr Warwolf Armor

Heavy hitters want heavy armor to boot, so you can go up against the most formidable monstrosities you’ll find without worry. Among the armor sets in The Lords of the Fallen, the Udirangr Warwolf Armor set holds up its end of the deal quite nicely. The armor can withstand all types of attacks, especially heavy ones. It doesn’t set physical attacks apart from elemental ones, efficiently protecting you from either to the tune of 150 and above 200, respectively. 

Keep in mind that the set comes with different parts, usually the head, chest, arms, and leg pieces. Using the same pieces in a set synergizes well to put up the best defense. If you’re just getting, Udirangr Warwolf provides the most balanced armor. While among heavy armor, its lower-end 35-point weight still gives fast-paced players who want to capitalize on a strength build room to breathe.

How to Get Udirangr Warwolf Armor

The easiest way is to choose the Udirang Warwolf class in the early game. However, you can still get it from a merchant called Thehk-Ihir in Forsaken Fen.

4. Angel of Void Armor 

Fans of dark and gothic aesthetics will fancy the Angel of Void Armor set. It’s heavier than Udirangr, at 50, providing a solid defense for physical and withering damage. The set comes with gloves, a medium torso, a mask, and trousers, shielding you from attacks on all parts of your body. 

In particular, the Angel of Void protects you from fire and frost-based enemies, as well as from navigating extreme temperature areas. Since you can find the Angel of Void armor set in the early game, it makes it all the more worthwhile to acquire, especially with a whopping 319 physical damage defense.

How to Get Angel of Void Armor

First, defeat the Congregrator of Flesh to pick up the vestige seedling at the Forsaken Fen. Go over the spacious area to open the door next to the vestige. Keep forging ahead to solve an Umbral Eye puzzle that opens a pathway that leads you to a treasure chest with the Angel of Void armor set stashed away in it.

3. Tancred’s Armor 

The heavier the armor, the higher the defense. With Tancred’s Armor set at a whopping 779 defense stat, you can rest easy knowing you have access to an incredible amount of damage mitigation. Unfortunately, the set’s 81-point weight can take its toll on fast-paced players. On the other hand, gamers looking for a tanky build will enjoy all Tancred’s Armor set has to offer.

Tancred’s not only provides reliable physical defense but also elemental resilience. It covers all bases to provide the best protection against a wide range of threats while ensuring your survival amid intense fights. Furthermore, the set’s gauntlets, medium torso, helm, and legging armor pieces ensure that you can protect your whole body in one go.

You can craft the armor from Molhu at the Skyrest Bridge. However, you’ll need the x1 Remembrance of Tancred Master of Castigations and Reinhold the Immured items beforehand, which you can acquire after defeating the Tancred Master of Castigations boss at the Tower of Penance.

2. Pieta’s Armor 

If you’re looking for armor that offers reliable physical and holy defense, Pieta’s Armor is the best pick. Additionally, it weighs less than most armor, providing defense stats as high as Pieta’s. But if you feel that the armor pieces are slowing you down, particularly the medium torso, which has a whopping 25-point weight, you can always upgrade Endurance to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Wither: 243

How to Get Pieta’s Armor

Make sure to have Pieta’s special Remembrance of Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal, beforehand, which you can acquire after defeating Pieta, the first major boss that Lords of the Fallen throws at you. Then, talk to Molhu in Skyrest Bridge to craft the armor set for you.

1. Blackfeather Ranger Armor 

While the previous armor sets specialize in specific areas, the Blackfeather Ranger Armor set distributes its power across multiple threats, providing the best-balanced protection. It’s not too weighty, and with a 35-point heaviness stat, every type of player can take advantage of it. Additionally, it offers considerable elemental protection. Physical damage, on the other hand, may require players to master offense.

Moreover, the Blackfeather Ranger Armor set is perfect for early-game players learning the ropes of The Lords of the Fallen’s punishing gameplay. It helps to avoid overreliance on defense and, instead, master the art of the blade. Plus, getting the armor is easy if you pick the Blackfeather Ranger class, relieving the pressure of defeating Adyr and his monstrous hordes.
