In Elden Ring, different weights of Armor are divided into different levels, and each level has a series of armors with unique functions. The advantage of Heavy armor is that it can provide high damage negation and resistance.
Players can choose to obtain many heavy armor sets, but not all heavier weight armor has better performance. Here are the heaviest armor sets you can consider when looking for solid protection.
11. Banished Knight Set
It is a heavy armor set known for its excellent defensive capabilities. It is moderately heavy, so players don’t need to invest too much stats in endurance to wear it. Although this set weighs less than Lionel’s set, it can provide higher physical damage negation.
Players in Elden Ring can drop fragments of this set and a certain number of Elden Ring Runes by defeating the extremely dangerous Banished Knights in the game multiple times.
10. General Radahn Set
Radahn’s unique appearance makes him leave a deep impression in the game. By wearing General Radahn’s gear, players can emulate him. General Radahn Set is not only excellent in terms of practicality, but also in terms of defense and appearance.
It has excellent durability and can effectively resist Hemorrhage and Frostbite. This armor set is slightly heavier than Banished Armor set and provides higher defense, but reduces some movement speed.
9. Gaius Set
Gaius Set is challenging to obtain. Players need to defeat Commander Gaius in DLC. Although Gaius Set is relatively light, it has excellent durability and defense, especially against Slash and Piercing attacks. Equipping this set requires some points in endurance and players need to fight a warrior.
8. Tree Sentinel Set
Many players have died fighting Tree Sentinels when exploring The Lands Between in the early game. Now players can obtain golden armor worn by Tree Sentinels. This golden armor has excellent physical and magical defense.
To obtain this armor, players need to successfully destroy three chariots in Auriza Hero’s Grave, which is definitely worth the effort.
7. Veteran’s Set
Veteran’s Set is highly favored by players for its excellent poise in its weight class. Veteran’s Set is worn by Commander Niall, the veteran soldier of Sol. Compared with other sets with similar appearances, Veteran’s Set has shown superior performance in many aspects.
6. Lionel’s Set
Lionel’s Set may not be everyone’s first choice based on its appearance. However, this set of equipment is worth much more than its appearance. Lionel’s Set shows extremely high poise, which can help players resist enemy attacks. Lionel’s Set is very suitable for players who like close combat. It is not only durable but also enhances the player’s combat advantage. In addition, Lionel’s Set has good magical defense.
5. Omen Set
Omen Set may look unpleasant, but it’s actually quite useful. It’s available after defeating Dung Eater in Subterrarean Shunning Grounds at Leyndall Royal Capital.
Omen Set increases the damage of both Omen Bairn and Regal Omen Bairn by 5%. But if players can look past its cosmetic flaws, it’s a very practical choice.
4. Solitude Set
Solitude Set is available after defeating Blackgaol Knight in the early stages of DLC. This armor set offers excellent defensive capabilities. It has the highest Focus resistance in the game, making it more effective against attacks that inflict sleep or madness. In addition, Solitude Set is also very stylish in terms of appearance.
3. Fire Prelate Set
Fire Prelate Set can be a lifesaver for players in some tough times. It has very good defensive stats, especially protection against fire. Fire Prelate Set also has excellent physical and magical damage negation properties. With these sturdy properties, players wearing Fire Prelate Set can gain a clear advantage against both gods and other players.
2. Verdigris Armor Set
Verdigris Armor Set raises the standard of armor in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC to a new level, even surpassing Bull-Goat set to become one of the best choices for heavyweight armor in the game. With 100 poise and great defensive stats, it focuses mainly on enhancing immunity and robustness, and performs well in resisting slash attacks.
1. Bull Goat Set
Bull Goat set is one of the players’ excellent choices of defending against enemy attacks. However, it is also the heaviest armor in the game. With its excellent resistance to physical and magical damage, Bull Goat set creates an impenetrable line of defense between players and enemies. The set is adorned with a pair of massive horns and has a massive poise of 99.99, allowing it to withstand the most powerful attacks.
Bull Goat Set has the highest poise and physical defense properties of all the armor in the game. Although the player’s movement speed will be limited when wearing it, you will appreciate the protection this armor provides when facing the challenges in The Lands Between.
Although heavy armor will limit the player’s movement speed, the advantages they provide in terms of damage reduction and resistance are often worth this sacrifice. Therefore, choosing a heavy armor set that suits you will help players survive the treacherous environment of The Lands Between.
