Throughout theAssassin’s Creedgames, there are plenty of outfits that were designed for the protagonists, each of which helped not only to represent the era that it came from, but also establish the character’s journey.Ezio, for example, had three games in total, and had multiple armor sets and outfits based around him.

These armors helped to either elevate or hinder the base character designs in their respective games. As such, here’s every armor from theAssassin’s CreedEzio trilogy, ranked. Each outfit will be judged mostly on aesthetics and design, as only a few of them have unique attributes.
Updated on Jul 11, 2025 by Talha Bin Rizwan:Assassin’s Creed games allow players to equip their characters with awesome outfits and armor sets that not only protect them from damage, but also create an identity. The armors featured in the Ezio trilogy, boast some of the most elegant designs in the entire series. Not every armor set worn by Ezio is worthy of recognition, however, as some designs are rather bland and leave the players wanting. Some really do stand out from the rest though and hold a legendary status befitting of the most iconic assassin from the Assassin’s Creed series.
17Leather Armor
The original weakest armor inAssassin’s Creed 2is also one of the most uninteresting sets in the entire trilogy. Fitting the name of Leather, aesthetically it is everything that players would expect from a leather armor set.

The full brown set is incredibly bland due to its lack of textural elements. As a result, it just kind of sits there with the rest of the armor. Although it does its job during the early parts of the game, it quickly becomes irrelevant as much more powerful sets roll around.
How to Get the Leather Armor
Leather armor is the first armor set that players can acquireearly on in the game. The set is available piece by piece following certain points in the storyline. The first piece that Ezio gets is the Leather Spaulders, which is available halfway through Sequence 1. The Leather Chest Guard and Greaves are available in Sequence 3, while the Leather vambraces can be purchased during Sequence 4.
16Metal Armor
Contrasting the Leather Armor is the third-strongest set in all ofAssassin’s Creed 2. However, the Metal Armor set still falls under the same trappings of the Leather one, in that it just looks incredibly bland.
Unlike the leather set though, the Metal armor is able to comfortably mesh with Ezio’s signature white assassin’s outfit. If the player dyes the outfit, the armor stands out even more. However, outside that, its plain design still places it far behind the other sets.
How to Get the Metal Armor
Metal Armor is a mid to late-game set that allows Ezio to withstand a considerable amount of damage. Players will need to make sure that they have the necessary funds for it, as it is a bit expensive. The Vambraces are acquired first during Sequence 6 and the Chest Guard, Greaves, and Pauldrons follow soon after in Sequence 7.
15Azap Armor
The Azap armor is the leather set forAssassin’s Creed Revelations. In terms of aesthetics, there are plenty of elements that make it decent to look at like the little details on the greaves and the chest plate. Not only that, but it also fits well with the darker robes that Ezio wears in his later days.
However, this is also a double-edged sword of sorts as it blends just a little too well with the outfit in the end. The result kind of means that it doesn’t really stand out as much as it should, nor as much as some of the other armors.
How to Get the Azap Armor
Azap Armor is the first armor set that’s available for purchase inAssassin’s Creed Revelations. It can be bought from any blacksmith, starting from Sequence 2. The set provides 11.5 points of resistance and increases health by five blocks.
14Roman Armor
The Roman armor is the leather set withinAssassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Similar to the leather armor inAssassin’s Creed 2, it doesn’t mesh well with the robes of the Brotherhood, but it does at least have a decent design to it, unlike the original leather set.
The Roman armor also doesn’t blend in like the Azap set, so it is a little bit better overall. However, with that being said, the armor that players can get their hands on later on in the game is far more interesting to look at.
How to Get the Roman Armor
Roman Armor is acquired very early on inAssassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Players will acquire the Spaulders first, which are available as early as Sequence 2. The Greaves can be bought in Sequence 3 and the Vambraces can be bought in Sequence 4. Players will not be able to equip the Vambraces until they haveacquired the second hidden blade from Leonardo da Vinci, however. The Chest Guard is the last piece of the set and can be acquired in Sequence 5.
13Rondelle Armor
The Rondelle armor is very similar to the Roman armor, almost to the point of having the exact same design. The only difference is that it has some metal lining within the details of the suit, a subtle, yet important distinction.
This can actually hold the armor back at times though, as it doesn’t have enough about it to really change anything other than the sheen from a glance. As a result, the set is only slightly better than its roman counterpart.
How to Get the Rondelle Armor
Rondelle Armor is an upgraded version of the Roman Armor inAssassin’s Creed Brotherhoodand features a more ornately decorated set of armor with some metal decorations. Players will be able to purchase the Vambraces and Greaves in Sequence 5, while the Spaulders and Chest Guard can be acquired later on in Sequence 6.
12Helmschmied Armor
The Helmschmied armor is the second set of armor that becomes available inAssassin’s Creed 2. Although it is quite similar to the leather armor, the Helmschmied armor stands out thanks to the intricate metal detailing.
These details are similar to how the Rondelle armor is handled. However, unlike that set, the Helmschmied armor is able to stand out in a way that isn’t subtle. This, in turn, truly makes it stand out on its own, which is somewhat rare inAssassin’s Creed.
How to Get the Helmschmied Armor
Helmschmied Armor is acquired in the early-to-mid game inAssassin’s Creed 2. Ezio will get the Helmschmied Greaves first in Sequence 3 followed by the Spaulders in Sequence 4. The Chest Guard and Vambraces both become available during Sequence 5 and equipping the full set adds eight health blocks to the players’ health bar.
11Sepahi Armor
The Sephahi armor is one of the strongest armor sets inAssassin’s Creed Revelations. Looking very similar to the Mamluk armor, which will be discussed a little later on, it is a golden-colored armor set that provides Ezio withample amounts of protection.
From a design standpoint, The Sephahi armor set is able to mesh fairly well with Ezio’s darker robes. However, with that being said, it doesn’t flesh out or complement the armors quite as well as some of the other armors that come before and after it.
How to Get the Sepahi Armor
Sepahi Armor is a strong armor set inAssassin’s Creed Revelationsand can withstand considerable amounts of punishment. It’s available for purchase from Memory 5 of Sequence 6. The armor adds 20 points of resistance and increases Ezio’s health by 11 blocks.
10Mamluk Armor
The Mamluk Armor is the second set that Ezio can get inAssassin’s Creed Revelations. Unlike the later set, the Sepahi Armor, this one still maintains the colors of the Azap set. Thus, it is able to mesh together very well with Ezio’s robes.
Not only that, but the cape and detailing are also very strong elements of the set. The only real issue is that the suit is fairly bulky as it doesn’t follow the shape of Ezio’s body as much as armors fromAssassin’s Creed 2orBrotherhood.
How to Get the Mamluk Armor
Mamluk Armor is acquired early to mid-game inAssassin’s Creed Revelationsand bears similarity to the Azap Armor in terms of color. It provides decent protection against enemy attacks and is available for purchase from any blacksmith from Sequence 5 onwards. It adds 16 points of resistance and increases Ezio’s health by eight blocks.
9Master Assassin Armor
The Master Assassin armor is one of the most unique armor sets in all ofAssassin’s Creed Revelations. It’s obtained when the player has finished assigning seven assassins to different assassin dens and completed the first set of Master Assassin missions.

The set also offers unique bonuses such as silent sprinting and being unbreakable. If that weren’t already enough, it also happens to be genuinely interesting to look at too. The only downsides are that it is practically undyeable and one of the least unique-looking of all of the unbreakable armor sets in the game.
How to Get the Master Assassin Armor
Master Assassin’s Armor Set is a unique armor set inAssassin’s Creed Revelationswhich is acquired by completing the first part of the Den Master Assassin missions. It’s unbreakable and will not take damage from any source. Despite looking like a heavy piece of equipment, it also muffles the players’ movements.
8Armor Of Brutus
The armor of Brutus is the strongest armor available in all ofAssassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Originally worn by Brutus, one of the many assassins responsible for killing Julius Caesar, it is easily one of the most powerful-looking armors in the entire franchise.
The strong red and fur elements really help make it stand out when compared to other armors. However, it is also one of the bulkiest armor sets inAssassin’s Creedand doesn’t really conform to most peoples' ideas as to what an Assassin should look like.
How to Get the Armor Of Brutus
The Armor of Brutus is the strongest set inAssassin’s Creed Brotherhood. It’s acquired by finding and completing all six Lairs of Romulus that are scattered throughout Rome. This process is a little similar to acquiring Altair’s Armor inAssassin’s Creed 2. When all four pieces are equipped, Ezio’s health bar is increased by 15 blocks.
