Top Armor Sets in KCD2 Revealed

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, armor sets differ from typical RPGs as there are no bonuses for wearing a complete set. Instead, armor pieces are often found in specific locations or on certain enemies, and their names reflect their origins. Exceptions include Twitch drops and pre-order sets. Here's a detailed look at the best armor sets in the game, categorized by protection and stealth capabilities.

Best Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Best Armor Sets for Protection

Praguer Guard Armor

Wearing this armor allows you to move freely through the camp without being questioned or attacked, simplifying the quest. Its defense stats, depending on quality, include 269 stab resistance, 312 slash resistance, and 146 blunt resistance.

Cuman Armor

Available in the latter half of the game in the Kuttenberg Region, the Cuman Armor is acquired from enemies during the "Bellatores" side quest. It's not ideal for stealth due to its high noise and conspicuousness, but it offers solid protection with 149 stab resistance, 181 slash resistance, and 65 blunt resistance.

Milanese Cuirass Armor

The Milanese Cuirass Armor can be purchased from merchants in Kuttenberg City, though it's pricey. It's a heavy set, but offers excellent defense with 392 stab resistance, 286 slash resistance, and 100 blunt resistance. Keep in mind that merchant inventory refreshes every 7 in-game days.

Vavak Soldier Armor

While the chest piece isn't the strongest, other pieces offer substantial stab and slash defense. The set provides 352 stab resistance, 264 slash resistance, and 99 blunt resistance.

Brunswick Armor

Exclusive to pre-order players, the Brunswick Armor is obtained through the "Lion's Crest" side quest. It's one of the best early-game sets, offering 704 stab resistance, 567 slash resistance, and 239 blunt resistance when worn in full.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

The Cutpurse Armor, available through Twitch drops, is ideal for stealth. However, it's challenging to obtain if you missed the initial drops. Its defense stats include 24 stab resistance, 53 slash resistance, and 54 blunt resistance.

Overall Best Armor

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, the best armor strategy involves mixing and matching pieces to suit your build. While full sets look good in cutscenes, they don't provide combat bonuses. Consider your playstyle and the specific needs of each quest when choosing your armor. Additionally, pairing your armor with the best weapons can enhance your combat effectiveness, allowing you to succeed with even basic armor sets.
