Being an RPG game, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla houses a wide variety of items that players can use at their disposal. Many areas of the game can also be considerably challenging. To combat this, there are a handful of armor sets in the game the players can wear to properly match their playstyle. Some of these armor sets are incredibly powerful, and will help players make alliances smoothly and defeat Eivor's enemies with style and valor.

10 Berserker Armor Set

The Berserker Armor set is an incredibly cool-looking armor. Eivor gets to wear a bear's head as a helmet, because why not? The only downside to this armor set is its accessibility. Players can get this as a free pack alongside the Gold or Ultimate edition of the game, or buy it in the Ubisoft store. It also randomly appears in Reda's shop, but that is difficult to keep track of.

The armor offers a speed increase buff once the player's health goes low. It also offers an increase in attack and armor. The Berserker Armor set is bear-aligned.

9 Magister's Armor Set

The Magister's Armor set has a very sleek looking design. It also has a ton of very useful buffs, but the only drawback is, they only get triggered at night.

While wearing this armor, Eivor gains a 15 point increase in melee damage and ranged damage. Once again, only at night. It's such a shame that the buff is restrictive considering how great the armor set looks. The armor supposedly used to belong to a Hidden One member, who probably preferred to operate at night judging by the absurd buff restriction. The Magister's Armor Set is a raven-aligned set.

8 Galloglach Armor Set

The Galloglach Armor set has a decent Viking-centric design perfect for Eivor. It is not the best armor in the game, but it can be a decent companion to those who prefer a heavy melee approach instead of using stealth or ranged weapons.

The armor offers an increase in melee resistance upon successful enemy finishers. It also grants an additional increase to melee damage. The Galloglach Armor Set is a wolf-aligned set.

7 Raven Clan Armor Set

The Raven Clan Armor Set is Eivor's default armor. Despite this, this armor set is more than capable of decently protecting Eivor throughout the game, if the player chooses.

This armor set increases the player's armor stat when their health is low, making it the perfect beginning armor set. It also gives an additional increase in Critical Chance. Aside from this, the armor offers no additional buff. While players can complete the game from start to finish just with this armor, it is recommended to explore other options.

6 Huntsman Armor Set

Hence its name, the Huntsman Armor set is perfect for bow wielders and ranged attackers. While this type of gameplay is fun and offers extra challenges, it will ultimately hinder the player from experiencing the game's ultimate potential. Thus, this armor set should only ever be used in the early stages of the game or during particular missions.

The armor set provides players an increase in ranged damage when hitting enemies from 20m away. It also gives an additional increase in speed. The Huntsman Armor set is a wolf-aligned set.

5 Thor's Armor Set

The armor of the God of Thunder himself, Thor's Armor set is very efficient in rendering enemies utterly defenseless. It allows players to really maximize their damage input while enemies remain helplessly stunned. This is the type of armor set players can use until the final areas of the game to remain strong and formidable.

This armor set provides players an increase in speed whenever an enemy is stunned. It also increases stun chance. The Thor's Armor set is a bear-aligned set.

4 Mentor's Armor Set

The Mentor's Armor set gives any player a conventional "assassin look" they've gotten used to in the earlier games of the franchise. This amazingly designed armor set makes players a melee powerhouse and is perfect for powering through even the most tedious areas of the game.

This armor set increases the player's attack after every critical hit. It also increases the player's speed. The Mentor's Armor set works incredibly well paired with dual wields and weapons with a high critical chance. The Mentor's Armor set is a raven-aligned set.

3 Hidden Ones' Armor Set

The Hidden Ones' Armor set is perfect for those who love the stealth gameplay mechanic. A real callback to the earliest Assassin's Creed games, it has a very sleek and sharp design supposedly made for the highest-ranking Assassins in the Creed.

The Hidden Ones' Armor set increases Assassination Damage when crouched and undetected for 10 seconds. Bow users will also love this armor set as it provides an increase in Headshot damage. The Hidden Ones' Armor set is a raven-aligned set.

2 Thegn's Armor Set

The Thegn's Armor set is, without a doubt, one of the best armor sets the players will ever stumble upon in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. This armor set highly encourages the players to be offensive, the true Viking approach, and also encourages them to parry attacks more.

The Thegn's Armor set offers an increase in Critical Chance after landing a successful parry. On top of that, it also offers an additional increase to Critical Chance. Attacking more and more while donning this armor will see the player's critical hits grow, allowing them to defeat even the toughest enemies. The Thegn's Armor set is a bear-aligned set.

1 Brigandine Armor Set

The Brigandine Armor set is the most perfect companion when it comes to dealing with a large number of enemies, which occurs a lot in this game. It is designed with close combat with multiple enemies in mind. Players will find this armor set extremely effective in raids and missions.

This armor set increases Eivor's armor rating when surrounded by more than two enemies. It also offers an increase in melee damage. This is truly one of the best armor sets to don all throughout the game, right up to its completion. The Brigandine Armor set is a bear-aligned set.
