1. Blackfeather Ranger Set
Best Armor Set for Agile Builds.
Why did I Choose the Blackfeather Ranger Set?
I chose the Blackfeather Ranger Set for its excellent balance between protection and agility. It’s perfect for players who want to stay mobile without sacrificing too much defense.
I recommend The Blackfeather Ranger Set as it is a relatively Light armor set versatile for various situations. This Armor Set is also very easy to find during the early game, so it is recommended to find this Armor Set as early as possible.

- Not the highest protection in any specific area.
2. Cursed Set
Best Armor Set for Enduring Physical & Wither Assaults.
Why did I Choose the Cursed Set?
I chose the Cursed Set for its focus on physical damage mitigation. If you’re facing enemies that hit hard, but lack a lot of elemental attacks, this is a great choice.
This is a set suited to deal with Physical and Wither damage. It is a Heavy Armor Set but is still lighter than the heaviest options like the Tancred’s Set. I like to roam around a lot so being able to move freely with lightweight armor is a blessing.
Cursed Helm
Type | Heavy Head |
Weight | 10.4 |
Location | Proceed across the Bone Bridge, past the Umbral Tumor at Manse of the Hallowed Brothers. Ascend the stairs to encounter a Bringer of Stillness and several Remnants. The Bringer of Stillness may yield a Regular Deralium Nugget, a Vestige Seed, and Dimexus upon defeating them. The Umbral Belly, when Soulflayed, drops the Cursed Set. |

- Excellent physical & wither defense.
- Solid weight-to-protection ratio
- Lower resistances to elemental damage.
3. Pieta’s Set
Best Armor Set for Strong Holy Damage.
Why did I Choose Pieta’s Set?
I chose Pieta’s Set for its strong holy resistance and balanced approach. It’s a solid choice when facing enemies that use a lot of holy-based attacks.
If you are looking for a Medium Armor Set that offers good Holy resistance, look no further than Pieta’s Set. It also offers decent damage mitigation against Physical attacks and increases your survivability in many difficult situations.
Pieta’s Helm
Type | Medium Head |
Weight | 7.8 |
Location | Defeat Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal, at Skyrest Bridge and Soulflay her Stigma to obtain the Remembrance of Pieta, She of Blessed Renewal. Now, you can purchase it from Molhu at Skyrest Bridge. |

- High holy resistance.
- Decent physical defense.
- Good overall balance.
- Not the absolute best in any one category.
4. Lightreaper’s Set
Best Armor Set for Max Defense.
Why did I Choose Lightreaper’s Set?
I chose the Lightreaper’s Set for its potent frost resistance and balanced physical protection. It’s the go-to when venturing into areas where frost damage is prevalent.
This set is particularly suited for Physical and Frost damage. It is still comparatively Light so that you can have more agility than the Tancred’s Set.
Lightreaper’s Helm
Type | Medium Head |
Weight | 7.4 |
Location | Defeat the Lightreaper at either Defiled Sepulchre, Fitzroys Gorge, or Upper Calrath and Soulflay his Stigma for Remembrance of the Lightreaper. Now, you can buy it from Molhu at Skyrest Bridge. |

- Exceptional frost resistance.
- Strong physical defense.
- Lower holy and fire resistances.
5. Tancred’s Set
Best Armor Set for Absolute Defense against Physical & Fire Attacks.
Why did I Choose Tancred’s Set?
I chose the Tancred’s Set armor for its unmatched physical and fire defense. When facing brutal enemies with slow, heavy attacks, this set will keep you standing.
Tancred is the heaviest set in Lords of the Fallen but provides the most damage mitigation against Physical attacks. It is also really strong against Fire damage. Keep the Weight in mind while donning this. I recommend looking into Tancred’s Set for those who like a tanky build.
Tancred’s Helm
Type | Heavy Head |
Weight | 11.2 |
Location | Defeat Tancred Master of Castigations and Reinhold the Immured at the Tower of Penance, and Soulflay the boss Stigma to obtain Remembrance of Tancred Master of Castigations and Reinhold the Immured. Now, Molhu will sell it to you at Skyrest Bridge. |
Tancred’s Armour
Type | Heavy Torso |

Type | Heavy Legs |
Weight | 18.5 |
Location | Acquire the Remembrance of Tancred Master of Castigations and Reinhold the Immured by defeating them at the Tower of Penance, and then you can purchase it from Molhu at Skyrest Bridge. |
- Highest physical and fire defense.
- Unyielding protection.
- Heaviest set.
- Low agility.
- Weak against some elemental damage.
Why Others Were Not Chosen?
- Hallowed Knight Set (Heavy): Offers strong Physical protection and good Burn resistance, but lacks specializations that would make it a top choice for specific builds.
- Orian Preacher Set (Medium): This set provides excellent Holy resistance but doesn’t excel at a single type of physical damage mitigation. It is not chosen for its less universally focused stats.
- Antique Hallowed Sentinel Set (Heavy): Great for physical and Holy protection, but its incredibly high Weight makes it less desirable for players who prefer agility.
My Few Bits On Armor Sets In Lords of the Fallen
My playstyle is very agile. As a result, I am personally biased toward Light Armor Sets like Pieta’s Set. They offer the best balance between protection and agility for me.
But you cannot ignore the importance of the heavier sets we talked about, like the Tancred’s Set, even if they felt too cumbersome and slow to me. They offer the most protection against all attacks in Lords of the Fallen. Pair them with your favorite weapons to have the build of your dreams.
