In Sony’s fantastic game God of War, experienced players need to destroy and gather various types of armor to make Kratos’ and his son’s abilities even more powerful.
All armor is not the same however with all the different sets out there you will find that some of them will only be of help under specific circumstances while others are almost entirely useless.
On the other hand, some armor of the game will always be considered the best come we sandwich the conditions. In this guide, we will be showcasing the 10 best armor sets in the God of War PS4 ordered by how good they are in a fight, their stats, and mobility.
1. Valkyrie Armor Set
The Valkyrie Armor is considered to be one of the best sets in the game because it may Sunday be used by the defense and has a great bonus that increases the speed of the time gates.
This armor is earned through successfully challenging the valkyries and therefore assures a player that they are great. Its pieces – Valkyrie Helm, Gauntlets, and Waist Guard – all increase the stats for defense, runic, and cooldown enabling Kratos to cast ability more often. Many of the units that spend time hunting Valkyries are very well rewarded with this gear.
2. Ivaldi’s Deadly Mist Armor
Ivaldi armor set is a great deal when it comes to Niflheim that is misty and toxic areas which is why it regenerates health over time.
There are three versions including Deadly, Endless, and Cursed all of which offer boosts for attack and defense. This armor provides the ability to regenerate health constantly and thus it is a good piece for those situations when you have to fight in unfavorable conditions.
3. Armor of Zeus
Another favorite, Armor of Zeus is highly powerful, but the trade-off is that it turns Kratos the character into a walking, talking stereotype of a ‘powerful’ character type; he is nearly helpless most of the time, with attack values being very high while defense numbers are poor.
This armor is a bit rare and you will have to get it after battling enemies on the New Game+ option. Overall for those who like attacking and don’t mind dying a lot this armor is perfect for that, however, it does have no defense stats, and thus mechanical skill is needed to make maximum use of them.
4. Sindri’s Royal Dwarven Armor
Another one of the best early armor sets is this armor, which was made by the dwarf blacksmith Sindri. It utilizes very well strength and defense and grants bonuses not only to primary attack with rune but also to cools.
Its special bonus is that they will not be affected by any status ailments when in combat with elemental-based enemies. For those in search of both durability and the runes, Sindri’s Royal Dwarven Armor is the armor they should get.
5. Brok’s Royal Dwarven Armor
Like Sindri’s armor, Brok’s Royal Dwarven Armor is an extraordinary gear that falls under the category of the best armor sets, that has a special bonus – increases strength and protection.
This set is ideal for staging from bosses and other high-tier enemies and therefore suitable for mid-end game combat. It’s a versatile build and great for those who require offense and longevity on the field.
6. Traveler Armor Set
One of the armor sets with one of the coolest looks, the Traveler Armor gives you a considerable increase in defense and a tiny chance to deflect attacks.
The easiest way to earn this prize is by eliminating Traveler enemies in the game. As you can see, it doesn’t include impressive attack strength, but if you are more about defense than attack in the game, it is yours.
7. Ancient Armor Set
Most of the armor set enhances the defense power whereby Kratos becomes hard to attack and easily overpowers his enemies.
They upgraded it and this armor is made using cores of the old foes present in the game. It has very high durability, but it increases offense rather slightly, so it is perfect for those players who want to focus on defense.
For fights that are going to be very aggressive and simple endurance is going to be crucial then the Ancient Armor is ideal for you.
8. Valkyrie Elite Armor
Like the standard Valkyrie Armor, this one is also an upgrade to its pre-V2 model and comes with stats and perks. It can only be obtained with more complex tasks, but as for the runic attacks, cooldowns, and defense, it is better to use this for the end-game content. When all the attributes are maxed out this armor set is a beast, and players will stomp through enemies effortlessly.
9. Berserker Armor Set
The health of the Berserker increases at the cost of assault, making it preferred by gamers who like a balanced set of armor – the Berserker Armour set could be got only in New Game+.
Its perks are going to be revolving around power, and of course, more power in the form of offense while giving Kratos a little bit of defense. It is ideal for those who wish to deal out much pain, without receiving an ounce in return, literally.
10. Niflheim Mist Armor
Like with the Ivaldi’s Armor set, this armor gives health regeneration and resistance to the mist in the Niflheim realm. It is one of the best armors for long-haul fighting and can see Kratos endure a tough and often long and drawn-out fight. These armors are perfect for players: those who spend a lot of time in Niflheim; and those who want to have at least some form of health regen during fights.
