Top 5 Best Suits of Armor in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

You can pretty much create your own custom suits of armor in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, but it can be hard to decide what to wear if you don’t know what the best combinations are. After all, there are dozens of armor pieces in this game, and you can mix and match a lot of them freely. In our ranking, we’ll give you five recommended sets that try to have a good balance of aesthetics and stats!

Top 5 Best Suits of Armor | Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

#5 – High-Noble Parade Plate

• Brocade Hood
• Hauberk Long
• Mail Collar with Badge
• Mail Hood with a Coat of Arms
• Noble Cuirass
• Noble Gambeson
• Noble Laminar Sleeves
• Noble’s Bascinet
• Noble’s Gauntlets
• Noble’s Plate Legs
• Ornate Waffenrock
• Padded Chausses

To kick things off, this armor set primarily revolves around giving off a noble-like appearance while still having solid defense stats. For aesthetics, it primarily uses white and gold equipment with red accents. Due to the high Charisma provided by the noble pieces of equipment in this set, Henry will also be treated like proper royalty!

#4 – Nuremberg Guardian Plate

• Brocade Hood
• Burgher’s Shoes
• Cuirass with Falds
• Hauberk Long
• Mail Collar with Badge
• Mail Hood with a Coat of Arms
• Nuremberg Bascinet
• Nuremberg Plate Sleeves
• Nuremberg Cauntless
• Padded Chausses
• Saxon Plate Legs
• Short Pourpoint
• Waffenrock of the Lords of Garbow

Shifting gears tonally to something a good bit edgier than the previous suit of armor, this one goes for a darker aesthetic. You’ll want to use the dark and black variants of the equipment pieces here to really give that edgy dark knight look! On top of the edgy look, this also provides some great defensive stats, making it solid even beyond the aesthetic.

#3 – Milanese Knightly Harness

• Italian Bascinet
• Magdeburg Plate Arms
• Mail Collar with Badge
• Mail Hood with a Coat of Arms
• Milanese Cuirass
• Milanese Gauntlets
• Milanese Plate Leg Armour
• Quilted Hose
• Short Chainmail
• Short Pourpoint

If you like the look of the Italian Milanese knights, this is one of the best suits of armor you can rock in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. It’s fairly straightforward, mostly consisting of Milanese and Italian armor pieces. It provides excellent defense and also has a very satisfying bright paladin-style aesthetic. Plus, that makes for a very funny contrast right after the previous set on this list!

#2 – Brunswick Lion’s Crest

• Brocade Hood
• Brunswick’s Bascinet
• Brunswick’s Brigandine
• Brunswick’s Chainmail Coif
• Brunswick’s Gauntlets
• Brunswick’s Plate Leg Armour
• Brunswick’s Plate Sleeves
• Hauberk Long
• Mail Collar with Badge
• Padded Chausses
• Short Pourpoint

This one is a very simple suit of armor to build, as it’s mostly just using the Brunswick’s Armor set you get from the DLC “The Lion’s Crest” quest. Nonetheless, this legendary knight’s armor has a very unique look and very solid stats in general, so it deserves a spot. It might be simple since it’s mostly “preset” by matching all the Brunswick’s armor pieces, but it’s definitely a great suit nonetheless!

#1 – Kuttenberg Master-Plate

• Hauberk Long
• Hemmed Waffenrock
• Mail Collar with Badge
• Mail Hood with a Coat of Arms
• Milanese Cuirass
• Noble’s Bascinet
• Noble’s Plate Legs
• Nuremberg Gauntles
• Nuremberg Plate Sleeves
• Quilted Hose
• Short Pourpoint

Now, for our number 1 spot in this list, we’re going for an armor set that mostly shines due to its stats. It does try to have a balance of aesthetics and stats but mostly focuses on just using some of the best-in-slot armor when it comes to pure stats. If all you care about is maximizing your defense, this is your best bet, but without fully sacrificing aesthetics for nonsensical combinations!

So, there you have it, that’s the top 5 of the best customized suits of armor you can wear in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
