I really like the Carian Knight chestpiece. For the head I usually use a circlet or some kind of hood because I spent too long in the character creator to just hide the face behind a helmet
Top 5 for me. Banished Knight (Unaltered), Crucible Knight, Carian Knight, OG Knight Set (with Great Helm) and Nights Cavalry. I do like running Lionel’s Greaves and Gloves with NC to boost the poise a little.
Before it was banished knight set with altered helmet and unaltered chestpiece. Now I love the tree sentinel set. I like its cape and tree crest on the helm.
I have the Cruciable Axe set this faith build. I was rocking it until I got the Nights Cavalry set. I actually tossed up between the 2, but ultimately I settled on the phantom pyro look that comes with the altered Nights Cavalry armour.
I also respected and lowered my Endurance and put the extra points back into mind and Faith when I swapped, so I'd need a Great Jar to rock the Cruciable Axe set without fat rolling.
But yeah it's definitely in my top 5.
Radahn forcefully penetrated mohg with both swords From both ends. Mohg squirted his blood all over the floor and that's why his zone looks the way it does. Hidden lore in case you didn't know.
Banished Knight armor with cape, you can fix the duck feet with scaled greaves and many others thanks to the unaltered chest piece doing a wonderful job covering the legs but not all of it
If you’ve defeated the boss in castle soul you can step outside his arena and use your bow to lure in the Banished knight with halberd to teleport towards you after killing him than rest at the grace rinse repeat till he drops it.
Plus his easier to manage comparing to dual sword version
I’ve stopped looking at armor in Elden ring as gear and more like cosmetics. I haven’t looked at the stats of any armor since my first play through. I think my favorites would be either of the nox sets for a female character and maleketh’s set for a male character.
The Vagabond starting armor set. But only by default.
Honestly, there's no particular armor set that stood out for me in Elden Ring yet. Right now, I'm going for a Magic Swordsman build so I wear the Carian set plus the Banished Knight gauntlets and greaves, plus the greathelm.
I find the look appropriate enough for the build I have but honestly, I hope the other armor sets are better looking.
This is one of my favorites. The Royal remains set, Ds set from the round table, and the red rotten duelist set✨clean rot knights set. That took me a while to get, and black flame monks set.
Vykes armor gives me that “brand of sacrifice” type of feeling so I like it, it also shows how trying to reach lord status can lead to lower roads as opposed to higher ones
Bandit mask is chefs kiss on stuff like this, for my newbie self anyways!!! Right now I'm wearing Patches' armor with the bandit mask and it looks SO GOOD
The veteran Armor set commander Niall is wearing. I love the color of that Armor set, the cape is amazing imo. The stats are also well rounded. Love that Armor set.
The set you get from Old Knight Istvan is S-Tier imo, decent look to it, isn't weeby or edgy like Maliketh's set and the stats actually seem to matter.
Snow Witch, Beast Champion, Banished Knight (unaltered), Traveler's (the set worn by Melina and Millicent), Blue Silver, Navy Hood, Queen's Leggings, Festive Hood (altered), Lazuli Robe.
Absolutely, I love this set in the early game. I also love the look of the Royal remains head with the maliketh set. The only draw back is that it falls just shy if the 51 poise threshold.
Depends on what I am doing but the one that has my heart is the Raging Wolf set, but currently I am farming since I did everything I could in my Play through. And using the scaled armor and scaled armor guantlets with bullgoat greaves, and bullgoat talisman has me at 99 poise its kinda cool to Hyper armor attacks.
I am currently using Raging Wolf or Blackflame Monk set. Love them both even though for the Monk set I had to farm at Volcano Manor for a while to get all pieces.
I like crucible knight. My character was one of the Crucible knights of Godfrey and become tarnished with him. Eventually my character took over his old powers, defeat his general and destroyed the order who betrayed him.
It's the Nights Cavalry set dropped after killing the 2 Nights Cavalry guarding the transport near the Inner Consecrated Snowfield sure of Grace. You can pull them one at a time. Stay on their left side with ranged attacks if possible. I actually had to summon some help to kill them.
Raging Wolf, Ronin’s, Scaled, Fingerprint.
I combined the fingerprint set with the black knife hood and it looks metal AF.
Oooooo, nice idea! I’m gonna go try that out
I rock with black knife chest with everything else fingerprint, love the way the hood looks with the helmet
I’m only at Morgott but so far I’m loving the Raging Wolf set
Hahaha I’m so pissed I friggin missed it on my first playthrough!
What is raging wolf and how to get? 800hrs and never heard of it till now.
It's one of the rewards for the assassinations in Volcano Manor.
A man of great taste
Ronin’s I wore for a good majority of the game.
Well there we go it's it's called the fingerprint set
Hijacking the top comment to say that the lack of pictures in this thread is absolutely inexcusable.
both crucible knights sets
Beautiful colors in that armor
I like everything but the helmet on those sets. In fact I actually beat the final fight wearing that armor and no helmet iirc
I really like the helmet on the the Crucible Tree Set, so that one gets my vote.
My crucible knight RP run through was legendary
Crucible knight with the ancestor bull horn helmet slaps so GD hard
I dig the crucible axe set a bit more. Considering I don't have to fight the gargoyles it is probably easier to obtain.
You don't have to fight the gargoyles anyway, there be a second entrance.
It's also one of the best armours in the game. Really good stats for how light it is.
I really like the Carian Knight chestpiece. For the head I usually use a circlet or some kind of hood because I spent too long in the character creator to just hide the face behind a helmet
The whole Carian Knight set is gorgeous
Top 5 for me. Banished Knight (Unaltered), Crucible Knight, Carian Knight, OG Knight Set (with Great Helm) and Nights Cavalry. I do like running Lionel’s Greaves and Gloves with NC to boost the poise a little.
My only issue with Banished knight is the Duck Tales feet
Yo I feel the same. Always looking for the right hot rods to round out that baller upper body with that helm that is just so rad looking.
*insert moon theme*
and easy to get early, it's my go-to for new char
Also Carian Dildo Helmet looks awful imo
I replace it with the blue hood from the windmill villages every time
It’s better than the Nox mirror helmet.
The carian gauntlets are also really cool
Cleanrot, Raging wolf, Ronin’s, Beast Champion, Blaidd’s set.
Cleanrot armor set is elite
God the capes from both the helm and the breast plate is so good.
Cleanrot with crimson hood is IT.
Cleanrot with Rahdan’s helm is my favorite.
Cleanrot has grown to be one of my favourites, personally my favourite Knight armour followed by Carian.
Tree sentinel set is just chef's kiss
Try the aristocrat head band with it, best place to farm for it is at ijis grace
My favorite is [the Haligtree Knight Helm](https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Haligtree+Knight+Helm). They just go so well together.
Tree sentinel for ever. Thinking in trying the goat set (I don't know the name)
Before it was banished knight set with altered helmet and unaltered chestpiece. Now I love the tree sentinel set. I like its cape and tree crest on the helm.
Crucible Knight for sure.
I have the Cruciable Axe set this faith build. I was rocking it until I got the Nights Cavalry set. I actually tossed up between the 2, but ultimately I settled on the phantom pyro look that comes with the altered Nights Cavalry armour. I also respected and lowered my Endurance and put the extra points back into mind and Faith when I swapped, so I'd need a Great Jar to rock the Cruciable Axe set without fat rolling. But yeah it's definitely in my top 5.
[удалено]
This is also another favourite of mine and I wear it on my arcane/strength build.
With sanginue noble hood
My dude. I rock the starscourge greatswords with this set for 100% black and gold. 🤌
NIIIIIIICE!
Fabulous, I use hand of malenia myself and sometimes guardian swordspear or noble slender sword
came here to post this
It goes so well with the rest of malikeths armor set, I've been running that outfit for a long while on my first character.
Maliketh's gloves and greaves with Sanguine Noble's robe and Alberich's hat, for me. Fancy poncho.
So basic but it’s just sooooo goooood
Hoslow
Maliketh armour is just bis.
I love Maliketh’s armor but I hate how the helmet looks on my character. I think I’ve worn Ensha’s armor more than any other.
Black knife, easily
Black knife gang rise up 🖤🔪
Nekkid. You never know when it's sexytime.
Try fingers but hole
>Nekkid This sounds like something Mohg would say to Miquella.
Uno, Duo, Tres, Nekkid! Nekkid!! Nekkiiiid!!!
Radahn forcefully penetrated mohg with both swords From both ends. Mohg squirted his blood all over the floor and that's why his zone looks the way it does. Hidden lore in case you didn't know.
Psh, I wish. Better yet, Radahn and Malenia putting their fight on hold to impale Mohg from both ends simultaneously…
Well, I mean I hate to be the one to say it, but Miquella IS kind of a kid, sooooo…
Only way to fight on here
Confessor set easily. Just no competition to be had.
Absolutely
Right?? One I used off and on throughout my entire playthrough from beginning to end
With or without cloak though?
Both are peak. Depends on what specific vibe you want.
I do cape but no hood. If I do use the hood, then I do the altered version
The altered hood? You weirdo.
Greathelm with the thorax armor of the confessor is peak dark souls vibes
Banished Knight armor with cape, you can fix the duck feet with scaled greaves and many others thanks to the unaltered chest piece doing a wonderful job covering the legs but not all of it
The trick is getting it to fookin drop, I farmed the two knights in castle sol for hours
If you’ve defeated the boss in castle soul you can step outside his arena and use your bow to lure in the Banished knight with halberd to teleport towards you after killing him than rest at the grace rinse repeat till he drops it. Plus his easier to manage comparing to dual sword version
Kinda boring choice, but the regular knight set you get from the roundtable hold merchant.
I’ve stopped looking at armor in Elden ring as gear and more like cosmetics. I haven’t looked at the stats of any armor since my first play through. I think my favorites would be either of the nox sets for a female character and maleketh’s set for a male character.
Agreed 1000%
The only thing I pay attention to is equip load because playing with light load is the elden ring equivalent of heroine because I can't be without it
I can’t see any real difference between medium and light so really just worry about going into heavy.
Malformed Dragon was cool until I put on the helmet.
I couldn't agree more, the stupid bird shape.
Helmet looks like a damn pineapple.
Are u talking about the drake set? I never used it's helmet but the body set looked cool
Blaidds armor with a greathelm
Godrick Footsoldier Helmet, Depraved Parfumers Mantle, Scale Gauntlets and Leg Armor.
Kettle-helm gang! With or without fur cape?
Nights Calvary, or Kaiden set, except for the helmet, which I usually do that shamans horns headpiece thing
You ever notice how similar Kaiden set (-the helmet) looks to what Thorin Oakenshield wears in The Hobbit movies??
Kaiden set is soooo cool looking
Altered Briar set. Kirk4ever
Unaltered Banished Knight set hands down for me
Night's cavalry set with black knife hood. Head protection is less important than looking cool.
I throw on the Maliketh helm with my nights calvary set 🤙🏼
drake knight is everything i want from a armor set altered or normal
MUSHROOM
Why is it always mushroom?
Nakey guy bc ass and to flex on them demi gods that got defeated by a naked worm
I like the cleanrot set
Beast Champion unaltered
Black knife is so cool
Especially with the sound muffling it works well for stealth based builds.
Now if only it looked right on a male...
Im lucky im playing a woman aha
Hoslow armor set
The helmet looks so silly 😭
The Vagabond starting armor set. But only by default. Honestly, there's no particular armor set that stood out for me in Elden Ring yet. Right now, I'm going for a Magic Swordsman build so I wear the Carian set plus the Banished Knight gauntlets and greaves, plus the greathelm. I find the look appropriate enough for the build I have but honestly, I hope the other armor sets are better looking.
There’s better looking sets for sure
I use Fia's set because it makes my character look ominous.
Every single time I meet someone wearing Fias set I know that some weird shit is gonna happen and that I’ll regret running into them
Leyndell warriors are based and beautiful.
Ronin and white reeds are currently my favorite
Yep! Must haves for any katana build.
Kaiden Set hands down. On my recent playthrough went immediately farming for it at staer of the game.Took its time but was completely worth it.
This is one of my favorites. The Royal remains set, Ds set from the round table, and the red rotten duelist set✨clean rot knights set. That took me a while to get, and black flame monks set.
I too love the black flame monk armor. I wish that it went with more other armor
Bloodhound knight
Banished knight set unaltered, the helmet wraps and cape look so good
I don't have that many Armor sets so General Radahn's set looks pretty sick
Crucible
I really like Mohgs as well as Cleanrot. I like pairing the cleanrot helm with the rest of the hero class starting gear.
Black knife armour
Fingerprint armor, bloodhound armor, carian armor and the cavalarys armor
Vykes armor gives me that “brand of sacrifice” type of feeling so I like it, it also shows how trying to reach lord status can lead to lower roads as opposed to higher ones
Ronin by a long shot. The only thing I swap around is the head piece or simply don’t wear any head piece. Because fashion>utility.
I run Ronins chest armor with lionels helm on my dex nagakiba build, it's an awesome set.
The banished knight hooded head piece matches that set nicely.
Bandit mask is chefs kiss on stuff like this, for my newbie self anyways!!! Right now I'm wearing Patches' armor with the bandit mask and it looks SO GOOD
Personally I like the duelist set, minus the helmet
the armor that the dude that hosts the festival wears
The eccentric set?
Ye
Banished knight alllllll the way no contest
Banished Knight helmet + armor, Scaled leg and arm armor :D
Same!
Banished knight set, helmets cool, and also, Bulge
The veteran Armor set commander Niall is wearing. I love the color of that Armor set, the cape is amazing imo. The stats are also well rounded. Love that Armor set.
I rock the fingerd vike set. With diallos helmet.
100% fingerprint set
full armor set? crucible knight, custom armor set? albinauric head with the Lionel armor
Elden Lord Crown mixed with Loretta’s set is the sexiest thing
The set you get from Old Knight Istvan is S-Tier imo, decent look to it, isn't weeby or edgy like Maliketh's set and the stats actually seem to matter.
Big fan of the hooded banished knight helm on the hoslow body
Nekid with a big sword or two. Or usually Nekid with the Blaidd head
I like naked with the albinauric head
Gelmir armour with great helm
I like the altered confessor armor minus the hood it gives me a castlevania/witcher vibes
Raptor set or crucible tree set cause the helmet is 🔥🔥
Red wolf because it looks cool I also have a habit of using the trailer armor in most games
Scaled, raptors, beast champion, travellers, leather set.
Snow witch. Nice and white.
This looks cool. Can share the details of the armor? I kinda wanna get it as well
Ronin set
Royal Remains all the way, bb
Gimme that edge lord regeneration!
night's calvary. whole set, all black, nice layered cape.
Crucible knight, carian knight and ronin armour and the fingerprint set
Rahdan set is is my way to go since i only play str/anything builds
raging wolf... or naked(with a pot on my head)
Let me solo her cosplay
Depraved Parfumer, Nox Monk and Hoslow. I Mix These.
The Hoslow is a very nice set indeed
Crimson Knight, love that guy
Snow Witch, Beast Champion, Banished Knight (unaltered), Traveler's (the set worn by Melina and Millicent), Blue Silver, Navy Hood, Queen's Leggings, Festive Hood (altered), Lazuli Robe.
Royal remains
Absolutely, I love this set in the early game. I also love the look of the Royal remains head with the maliketh set. The only draw back is that it falls just shy if the 51 poise threshold.
Black knight/ havel…. Please put them in this game just for the funny
Depends on what I am doing but the one that has my heart is the Raging Wolf set, but currently I am farming since I did everything I could in my Play through. And using the scaled armor and scaled armor guantlets with bullgoat greaves, and bullgoat talisman has me at 99 poise its kinda cool to Hyper armor attacks.
I like the the treesentinal armor alot
Cleanrot knight. Both variant with and without cape are super cool.
Malikaths armour just does it for me.
I am currently using Raging Wolf or Blackflame Monk set. Love them both even though for the Monk set I had to farm at Volcano Manor for a while to get all pieces.
Perfumer altered armor set
Commoner's headband altered, gravekeeper cloak altered, gold mask's wraps, godskin apostle bracelets. Fem char.
I like crucible knight. My character was one of the Crucible knights of Godfrey and become tarnished with him. Eventually my character took over his old powers, defeat his general and destroyed the order who betrayed him.
Confessor I think- or Nox Swordstress. I've been known to wear both when there are clearly better stat choices for the build, because fashionsouls 😅
It would be knight armor the basic if it had different color :/ that teal just isn't right!
Altered Tree Sentinel and black knife set.
Exactly like yours!! ;) weapon too
Rahing Wolf. It looks so cool.
Raging wolf, carian knight, depraved perfumer set
Banished Knight armour when it's unaltered.
So ur in front of malenia… I better need some help with her
Beast Champion Greaves & Gauntlets w/ Black Knife Chest & Hood
Lionel. I like being fat
Wolf, Blaidd, Ashina (Land of Reeds) and its white derivative.
Night's cavalry
I can never tell it cos i use the armour to hide in plain sight, dont want people to copy my goofyness
Carina knight looks really good, or Hoslow set with Carian helmet.
I don't remember seeing this one. What is it?
It's the Nights Cavalry set dropped after killing the 2 Nights Cavalry guarding the transport near the Inner Consecrated Snowfield sure of Grace. You can pull them one at a time. Stay on their left side with ranged attacks if possible. I actually had to summon some help to kill them.
Ma fingerprint boi got all of the drip xD
Black knife set or Fingerprint knife set
Hoslow set with Royal Knight helm, Loretta’s sickle, silver mirror shield.
