Top Armor Sets in KCD2: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, armor sets differ significantly from typical RPG expectations. Unlike many games, wearing a complete set does not grant you a bonus. Instead, these sets are often found together in specific locations or on particular enemies, and their names usually reflect their origin. Exceptions include armor obtained through Twitch drops and pre-order bonuses.

Best Armor Sets for Protection

Praguer Guard Armor

When wearing this set, guards won't question or attack you, allowing you to freely navigate the camp without sneaking. Additionally, it offers robust protection with defense stats of 269 stab resistance, 312 slash resistance, and 146 blunt resistance, depending on the quality.

Cuman Armor

The Cuman Armor, found in the Kuttenberg Region during the "Bellatores" side quest, is another set you loot from enemies. While it's not ideal for stealth due to high noise and conspicuousness, it excels in combat with 149 stab resistance, 181 slash resistance, and 65 blunt resistance, depending on quality.

Milanese Cuirass Armor

Available for purchase from merchants in Kuttenberg City, the Milanese Cuirass Armor offers solid defense against damage. Its inventory can be found every 7 in-game days, though it's pricey. The set provides 392 stab resistance, 286 slash resistance, and 100 blunt resistance, depending on quality. Keep in mind, it's heavy and best used strategically with your storage options.

Vavak Soldier Armor

While the chest piece may not be the best, the other pieces offer significant stab and slash defense. With stats of 352 stab resistance, 264 slash resistance, and 99 blunt resistance, depending on quality, it's worth grabbing a few pieces even if you don't take the full set.

Brunswick Armor

The Brunswick Armor set is exclusive to pre-order players and is obtained by completing the "Lion's Crest" side quest. This set is highly valuable early in the game, especially before Semine's wedding, offering 704 stab resistance, 567 slash resistance, and 239 blunt resistance when wearing the full set.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

The Cutpurse Armor, available through Twitch drops, is one of the best sets for stealth. However, without prior participation in these events, acquiring it might be challenging unless future events reintroduce past drops. It offers 24 stab resistance, 53 slash resistance, and 54 blunt resistance when wearing the entire set.

Overall Best Armor

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the best armor strategy is to mix and match pieces that fit your specific build needs. While full sets look good in cutscenes, they don't offer combat advantages. Consider your playstyle—whether you prioritize combat or stealth—and select armor pieces accordingly. Alongside armor, remember to equip the best weapons to complement your strategy and navigate through quests effectively.
