Summary
Assassin’s Creed Valhallais one of the most ambitious installments ofUbisoft’s highly successful video gamefranchise,Assassin’s Creed.The game was received positively by most, with many praising its massive open world, decent story, and fantastic RPG elements.
Being a robust ARPG,Assassin’s Creed: Valhallafeaturesa 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 several armor sets in the game that players can wear to properly match their playstyle. Some of these armor sets are incredibly powerful — especially when utilizing the extra perks from wearing a whole set — and will help Eivor make alliances and defeat enemies with style and valor.
Updated June 21, 2025 by Stephen LaGioia:Since its debut in 2020, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s lush worlds have been expanded thanks to updates and DLC by Ubisoft, culminating withthe epic Dawn of Ragnarok. Valhalla and Dawn of Ragnarok, coupled with Assassin’s Creed Mirage, look to keep fans satiated while waiting for the upcoming Japan-based epic, Shadows.
Thankfully,Ragnarok is almost as fun and massive in scope to work as a stand alone game. It brings epic new settings, and a number of awesome armor sets in particular. Thus, it seemed like a good idea to further flesh out and refine this list, while giving the nod to some more great armor from the expansive DLC.

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 ita great armor set for beginners.
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.

Hence its name, the Huntsman Armor set is perfect forbow 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, thisWolf-alignedarmor 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.

Eivor is sure not to fall too frequently in battle with thisWolf-alignedset. Obtainable by completing theTombs of the Fallen,this set will grant players a well-rounded slew of buffs when the pieces are worn together. Even wearingtwoof the pieces will grant double-digit stat boosts forarmor, melee damage, and range damage.
Yet, wearing all five will yield anexplosive pulsefollowing a short delay after being struck. While it’s laced with aten-second cooldown,it’s highly effective, as it deals a wave of damage. This knocks down all enemies in its vicinity.

This thematic, intimidating armor set from Wrath of the Druidsstands as one of the add-on’s allures. TheRaven-alignedgear rewardssuccessful hits on the same enemy with health restoration,while boostingmelee damage and poison build-up resistance.
This gives it a diverse slew of buffs that accommodate various fighting styles and complements its spooky imagery. Though it very much favors more aggressive players, allowing Eivor to outlast foes they overpower. These armor pieces are rewarded for completing the fourTombs of the Fallenhidden dungeons throughout England.

The epic, quasi-stand-alone DLC, Dawn of Ragnarokhas a lot of appealing content to entice returning players while drawing in newbies. Among these draws is the potent, red-hot Fire Giant set, which can be obtained by looting various chests scattered aboutSvartalfheim.
This flashyBear-alignedarmor accommodates those who like to play with fire and melt opponents, as itincreases melee damage when Eivor’s weapon is on fire.It further turns a heated battle in favor of Eivor, granting tons ofmelee resistancewhen all pieces are equipped. As one might expect, fighting with a complete set can cause even larger foes to wear down rather quickly.

This shiny, stout armor from the separate DLCDawn of Ragnarokcan be gathered by way of variousWealth Chests scattered through Svartalfheim; specifically in the Svaladal and Vangrinn regions. Being designed for higher-powered Vikings, this armor is naturally higher in stats and potency than many.
Beyond just looking sleek, and being thematically fitting for Eivor, thisBear-alignedarmor set allows players to overwhelm the usually clunkier foes with sheer speed. Having all five pieces equipped will yield an ampleincrease in speed.This is complemented byboosted defense (for ten seconds) when stunning an enemy— which is likely to happen when striking fast and frequently.

This divineRaven-alignedarmor set can berewarded upon fighting with Valkyrie Karaand besting her in the arena within theDawn of RagnarokDLC, in Kara’s Domain. Specifically, players will have to spend 1,200 Tokens of Kara on each piece of armor, which is rewarded by fighting in the arena.
Getting the entire set will be hard fought, but it’s quite worth the battle — especially for those who like their combat from afar. Even having two pieces yields nice rewards,granting a 50% chance to increase the ever-useful Adrenaline gainupon landing a headshot or striking a weak point. This can build up tothreetimes. This is nicely intertwined with the full-set bonus, which brings amajor bump to headshot damage.

TheBerserker Armor setis quite the beast, and is visually awesome to boot. 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 theGold or Ultimate editionof the game, or buy it in the Ubisoft store (1,500 Helix Credits). 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 Magister’s Armor sethas a very sleek-looking design. It also has quite a few useful buffs, but the only drawback is they only get triggeredat night.
While wearing this armor, Eivor gains a15-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 aRaven-aligned set.

The Galloglach Armor set has asolid Viking-centric designperfect for Eivor. It is not the best armor in the game, but it can be a good companion to those who prefer aheavy melee approachinstead of using stealth or ranged weapons.
The armor offers anincrease in melee resistance upon successful enemy finishers.It also grants an additional increase to melee damage. The Galloglach Armor Set is aWolf-aligned set.
