Top Armor Sets in KCD2 Revealed

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, armor sets differ from traditional RPGs in that wearing a complete set doesn't provide any special bonuses. These sets are often named after the locations or enemies from which they're obtained, with exceptions being Twitch drops and pre-order sets. Here's a detailed guide on the best armor sets in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*:

Best Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Best Armor Sets for Protection

The Praguer Guard Armor isn't chosen for its stats but for its utility during the "Reckoning" quest, one of the final main quests. Wearing this set allows you to move freely within the camp without being questioned or attacked by guards, simplifying the quest significantly. It also offers substantial protection with defense stats of 269 stab resistance, 312 slash resistance, and 146 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Cuman Armor

The Cuman Armor is acquired from enemies in the Kuttenberg Region during the "Bellatores" side quest. This set is not ideal for stealth due to high noise and conspicuousness values but provides excellent protection against slashing and blunt damage. Its defense stats, depending on quality, include 149 stab resistance, 181 slash resistance, and 65 blunt resistance.

Milanese Cuirass Armor

Available for purchase from merchants in Kuttenberg City, the Milanese Cuirass Armor offers solid defense against damage. Although it's heavy and expensive, it's worth considering for its protection stats: 392 stab resistance, 286 slash resistance, and 100 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Vavak Soldier Armor

The Vavak Soldier Armor can be looted from soldiers during the confrontation at the Ruthards' palace. While the chest piece isn't the best, other pieces provide strong stab and slash defense. You can loot select pieces like the head and gloves for situational use, with defense stats of 352 stab resistance, 264 slash resistance, and 99 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Brunswick Armor

Exclusive to pre-order customers and obtained through the "Lion's Crest" side quest, the Brunswick Armor is highly effective due to its early availability. It's particularly useful before Semine's wedding, aiding in early quests. Its defense stats when wearing the entire set are impressive at 704 stab resistance, 567 slash resistance, and 239 blunt resistance.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

The Cutpurse Armor, obtained through Twitch drops, is ideal for stealth. However, its availability is limited, making it challenging to acquire if missed. Its defense stats are 24 stab resistance, 53 slash resistance, and 54 blunt resistance when wearing the full set.

Overall Best Armor

The optimal armor strategy in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is to mix and match pieces based on your build's needs rather than relying on full sets. While complete sets look good in cutscenes, they offer no combat advantages. Consider balancing armor with the best weapons available, as proficiency in combat can sometimes mean you only need a sword, shield, and basic armor to survive the game's challenges.
