There’s also another wrinkle to armor in God of War Ragnarök: As we noted in our beginner’s guide, all sets of armor can be leveled up entirely. This stuff is supposed to stick with you for the entire game. It’s up to you to prioritize what you want to max out based on the stats and perks that fit your playstyle.

What follows is a guide to the best armor in God of War Ragnarök, partitioned out by various stages of the game (early, middle, and endgame, with some honorable mentions to boot). Rely on these, and Atreus won’t have to do all the heavy lifting while his father rushes to pick up healthstones around the battlefield every two seconds.

The first armor build we recommend for God of War Ragnarök consists of two different sets. The purpose of the combination is to grant Kratos as much healing as often as possible. At the same time, the build also increases the strength, defense, luck, and vitality stats — at the early stage of the game, building a solid foundation that targets the basics of the character is key.

Here are the armor pieces you’ll need, their starting stats, and where to find them:

As you can see, combining the Bracers of Raven Tears with the Girdle of Raven Tears is a no-brainer, as we want to aim for that 30% increase to your healing. As for Nidavellir’s Finest Plackart, the boost to vitality is more than welcome in the early stages of the game. Plus, Stun-Grabbing is an action you’ll be doing often against early-game enemies, so the health burst is a great pair.

The chest armor’s skill acts similarly to Doom’s glory kills, in a way, leading you to always stay in movement without having to stop to grab healthstones all the time. But yet again, whenever you do need a pick-me-up from the ground, you’ll have increased healing from it — the same goes with using your rage whenever it’s available.

This armor build should have you covered from rank 2 to at least rank 4 which, depending on where you’re in the main story, should be the stage to start looking for a new set. But in the meantime, focus on upgrading the pieces above when you can.

The second armor build we recommend for God of War Ragnarök consists of one full set. Without diving into spoiler territory, it consists of three pieces from a character called Lúnda who are scattered around the River Delta area in Vanaheim. If you wear all three pieces, the build leans heavily on poison — the chest piece has a chance to inflict the ailment with certain actions, while the wrist and waist pieces increase the damage you deal to poisoned enemies. It might take some time to get used to, but the upside is that you’ll also gains tons of stat points that increase your strength, defense, runic, and luck.

Here are the armor pieces you’ll need, their starting stats, and where to find them:

Starting with the main downside, the build won’t let you inflict poison with each and every action. It would be unbalanced (and extremely fun) otherwise, so your playstyle will basically dictate how often you might poison foes. But even if you’re not trying to block or parry all the time like I do, I recommend adjusting yourself slightly to at least deal a few punches to enemies.

Once an encounter begins, throw your axe at any enemy and immediately follow up with bare-handed attacks. Doing so, at least in my experience, led to the “Vanir Poison” skill activating much faster. You can strategize around this in different ways, focusing on tougher enemies only or multiple smaller ones instead. Just remember that parrying and blocking also apply to the skill — again, it will all come down to your own playstyle.

Even if you ignore all three actions completely, enemies can still get poisoned by other sources, so the damage bonus will apply regardless. Plus, the stats are quite decent, and you should be covered until around rank 7, which is when you should start looking for a new set to prepare yourself for the late game.

If you’re looking for the best armor build to tackle God of War Ragnarök’s endgame, this one focuses on dealing damage. By combining two parts of the Dragon Scaled set with one part of the Berserker set, you’ll give Kratos a buff to strength and defense after each successful block or parry. In essence, you won’t have to parry every time, but it will definitely be beneficial, as all shield damage is increased as well.

The key with this set is to block or parry as many attacks as possible. Doing so once already sets the buff active, but if you’re able to sustain one or two more attacks, the effect will be much better. In practice, it’s likely that you’ll be hitting back after defending yourself once, which is also valid. Just remember that if things fail and you do get hurt, you’ll also have a chance of setting off Soulless Rebuke from the Berserker Waist Guard.

There are a few ways to make the build even better and hit stronger. For the choice of relic, I went with the Talisman of Meign. This activates the “Gift of Strength” skill, which increases melee damage for 10 seconds. There are weapon attachments that also grant this same effect after you stun grab an enemy, such as the Pommels of Brutal Might. Since it’s a different buff, it can coexist with Dragon’s Fury for for an interesting combination.

Now, the biggest downside of the build is it doesn’t do much for Kratos’ vitality. In order to mitigate this and ensure that he can actually stand his ground, I recommend choosing Valor as your Spartan Rage ability. Pair this up with the Rönd of Aggravation for your shield, which has a high luck chance to grant a Minor Rage Burst when parrying, and you’ll be much safer in return. Plus, remember that if you time Valor so it negates an incoming attack, you’ll not only get an extra burst of healing, but also yet another melee attack bonus.

While the armor pieces start at a fairly low level for the later instance of the game, they’ll start making a huge difference at ranks 7 and 8. If you can afford it later, the Stone Idol of Souls enchantment can be another good pair for the build — with it, using a healthstone or ragestone will grant Soulsteal, which restores a small amount of health and rage when striking enemies for a few seconds. Again, you won’t have to worry about damage, this is all just to keep your healing capabilities in check. If you happen to be struggling with a specific encounter, switching the waist armor for the Girdle of Raven Tears should be of help. But all in all, keep your finger at the ready to block or parry incoming attacks, and retaliate without mercy.

If you’ve been largely focusing on the main story, there’s a ton to do in God of War Ragnarök’s endgame. Whether it is hunting for any pending Artifacts or Nornir Chests, you’re bound to revisit Svartalfheim, Vanaheim, and beyond.

If you’re looking for a decent armor set, all of the sets mentioned in this guide can be leveled up to rank 9 — as such, depending on your playstyle, you may already have found the perfect one.

However, if you’re looking for more options around the best armor in God of War Ragnarök, or just want to experiment with a new build, below are a few individual pieces that are versatile enough to work for most situations. Each armor piece behaves quite differently, and the final result can vary greatly depending on how you combine the full set.

If you’re usually inclined to keep your distance, the Hunter’s Pauldron is a great chest piece. Its skill only takes two seconds to activate: By holding down the aim button, it grants increased ranged damage for five seconds afterwards. If you want to lean on that aspect even further, wearing either the waist or wrist armor of the same set increases damage of all of Kratos’ ranged attacks and abilities. You can either go for all three pieces or combine either of the latter with another set.

If you aren’t afraid to get up close and personal to enemies, then Surtr’s Scorched Cuirass is a good option. Basically, every time you attack an enemy while they’re in the midst of an attack themselves, that hit will deal increased damage. Of course, exposing yourself comes with a huge risk, but either the wrist or waist piece of the set can help with this with the “Aggressor’s Resolve” skill. In essence, you’re going to take reduced damage and have some extra stagger resistance during both basic attacks and abilities.

The Steinbjörn armor set is one of the best in the game, and definitely worth the time commitment needed to round up its pieces. By far, the go-to piece is the chest armor, as it grants a ton of defense and a skill that lets you restore health by dealing damage. You may want to opt for other sets when it comes to the wrist and waist pairings for this one, targeting other stats, increasing the regenerated health, and so on.

Cantona retired at the conclusion of the 1996-97 season at the age of 30, which, even by the standards of the time was premature. The Frenchman revealed that he retired because he had lost his passion for the game and felt unwilling to make the sacrifices that are necessary at the highest level in the game.
