Armor in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 operates differently than many other RPGs. Complete matching sets are rare, and equipping a full set is seldom the optimal choice. However, for those who prefer a unified look, here are the best armor sets available in the game.

Best Armor Sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Armor sets in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 defy typical RPG conventions. There's no bonus for equipping multiple pieces from the same set. Usually, a "set" consists of items looted from a specific location or enemy type. Consequently, most set names reflect their origin, with the exception of Twitch drops and pre-order bonuses.

Best Armor Sets for Protection

Praguer Guard Armor

You won't seek this set for its raw stats, but for its unique utility in a late-game main quest. Specifically, the Praguer Guard Armor greatly simplifies "Reckoning," a quest where you find Sam. Wearing it allows you to move freely within the enemy camp, as guards will not interrogate or attack you. This eliminates the need for stealth, letting you complete objectives openly.

It also provides substantial protection, with defense stats (quality-dependent) around 269 stab, 312 slash, and 146 blunt resistance.

Cuman Armor

Similar to the Praguer set, this armor is looted from enemies. You'll encounter Cumans in the Kuttenberg Region during the latter half of the game. A reliable source is the "Bellatores" side quest from Bylany, where you follow Posy to a Cuman camp. This set is poorly suited for stealth due to high noise and visibility, but it offers excellent protection against slash and blunt damage, ideal for combat-heavy missions.

Its defense stats (quality-dependent) are approximately 149 stab, 181 slash, and 65 blunt resistance.

Milanese Cuirass Armor

The advantage of the Milanese Cuirass Armor is its availability for purchase from merchants in the Kuttenberg Region, particularly within Kuttenberg City itself. Check the inventories of the three armor merchants there. Stock refreshes every seven in-game days, with items randomized from their potential stock. While purchasing a full set is expensive, it provides reliable all-around defense. Be mindful of its weight; use storage chests and switch sets as needed.

Defense stats (quality-dependent) are roughly 392 stab, 286 slash, and 100 blunt resistance.

Vavak Soldier Armor

You can acquire this set from the soldiers accompanying Vavak when he confronts the Ruthards at their palace during the quest to find Rosa's book. Looting them counts as theft, but the Ruthards won't object. While the chest piece is mediocre, the other components provide impressive stab and slash defense. Even if you don't take the full set, grabbing key pieces like the helmet and gloves is worthwhile for emergencies.

Defense stats (quality-dependent) are around 352 stab, 264 slash, and 99 blunt resistance.

Brunswick Armor

The Brunswick Armor is a pre-order bonus, obtained by completing the "Lion's Crest" side quest. Its primary strength is how early you can get it. It's one of the few competent sets available before Semine's wedding, providing a significant advantage in early-game quests when your skills are low and beneficial perks are scarce.

When wearing the complete set, defense stats reach 704 stab, 567 slash, and 239 blunt resistance.

Best Armor for Stealth

Cutpurse Armor

If you claimed the Twitch drops, you may already own this top-tier stealth set. Unfortunately, if you missed it, the Cutpurse Armor is currently unavailable unless the developers rerun the event or offer it through future promotions.

The full set offers 24 stab, 53 slash, and 54 blunt resistance.

Overall Best Armor

The true "best" armor isn't a predefined set. Optimal performance comes from mixing and matching pieces to suit your specific build. A complete set offers only a cosmetic benefit in cutscenes, which provides no combat advantage or stealth assistance.

While armor mitigates damage, pairing it with the game's best weapons is crucial. Ultimately, if you're proficient in combat, a simple sword, shield, and basic armor may suffice to complete most quests successfully.
