*Me laughing at 130 hours of using the Raven Clan armour*

Regardless of the set I always make the helmet invisible. I wanna see Eivor’s face😂

Think I’m the only one who chose armour for cosmetics

Tip for newer players: I was able to get the full Thegn’s set only 20% into the game. It requires A LOT of risky sneaking in suuuuper high level areas, but it is WORTH IT.

I’ve only used the raven set throughout the game so far almost to max now it looks great

Dude I just go for the looks, who cares about the perks. If you look badass you are badass 😎🤘

90 hours deep, the only time I found that my armor set made a difference was taking on the final daughter of Lerion with the Raven Set about 50 power levels too low. Other than that, don't worry about this list, just go with what you think looks awesome.

Every time you say 5 piece I think we're talking Chicken McNuggets.

A tier list on abilities would be awesome, these tier lists are great! Cool to hear your reasoning

I know it’s cheeky but you can literally turn on one hit assassinate in the settings. So any gear peace involving assassin damage is useless

Draugr armor and weapon set should be an s tier armor with miasma skill plus poison strike ability. It is light and provides more speed. Everything around is dying you dont even notice because of the poison cloud. It's a massacre.

I cant wait for the transmogrification system they announced, since the stuff I'm using now, I'm only using cause it looks cool. For example the Thors set, Mentors set or the Carolingian set.

I was rocking Thegn's/Mentor, then switched to Thor's/Mentor in late game paired with Mjolnir and Varin's Axe (with Chained Fury Rune), stacked crit and stun and it's super fun. Great guide!

I hate how right you are about Thor’s armor. I needed to hear this. Thank you.

Great description. I like the order you displayed the items (F-S) in this video more than the melee and bows.

Thanks C. That really explains a lot. I’m going to watch it a few more times to really get the most out of it. But, it will help me finish the game. Again, thank you. Well done, lots of information.

I own the berserker set and switched to it after playing several other free (in game) sets. I can’t speak to the specific stat increases that the armor buffs provide, but the speed increase after getting hit is very noticeable. With a one-hand axe I was cutting through enemies without much effort, and beating a lot of them to the punch when we attacked at the same time... i.e., landing hits on some enemies who usually have decent defense. It’s probably not the best, but my point is it’s better than its tooltip would have you believe. I also bought the Niflgard armor and it’s plainly OP. It lets you use so many diamond runes that you basically become a god.

Love your content dude. Keep it coming 🤘🏻

I’m rocking the full Thegn armor set, when you said you combined them with the mentor set my mind went 🤯 you earned the subb

This helped me so much. I have a combo of Theign set and Mentor set and it is awesome!!! Thank you!!!

My go to is the mentors rhobe. I dodge quite alot and this rhobe is so good because it wont deplete the stamina bar super fast. I use with either double hammers, double bearded axes or just one big axe. You can attack so fast and swiftly!

My perfect set is 3 piece brigadine and 2 thegn. Looks the best and feels the best for my aggresive play style. Brigadine should be one of the top I think, but every other set you spoke of was spot on!

Thanks for the video! This actually reinforces my thoughts as well after 186 hrs

I'm looking forward to the Mentor's set. For now I'm using the beginning Raven clan armor. This video really helped on what to be looking out for.

Mentor's set with dual daggers is straight fire!

Thank God they added the customization for armor and weapons. Now I can just change the better armor to make it look like Raven Clan Armor.

Love seeing the Mentor set so high 🙌🏼 I grabbed it around level 60-70 sneaking into the spots.

nice breakdown . it actually really helped me to understand what to do, thank you .

Still rocking the original raven clan armor set. Looks most realistic. Looking forward to transmog.

You should do one on the abilities

Glad I found your channel. Thanks for these videos

Using Niflheimarmour now. So far it's fantastic. Before that I used mixed armour pieces of Theign's armour and Mentor armour set as mentioned in one of Codiac's video. It worked well too. Thank you.... This became one of my favourite channel

I bought the huldufolk cause it looks totally awesome. The additional increase to speed and armor kinda makes it swift using a dagger

I liked the Hidden One's set fully upgraded, you get it early in London & it helps a lot with stealth play, which I enjoy, but is also necessary if you want to go in regions where you aren't at the right level yet. Sure you can muscle your way in that game, but for some finesse, you need that set early-on (especially for people who just try to melee everything & then go on videos to comment that they hate the new RPG games, because they aren't Assassins...Loll!)

I’m 2 years late to this. I use the Mentors and Thegns 2 piece as well. Everything you said was how I felt about the lower grade sets. Good stuff thank you.

Been tempted to get the Valkyrie set because it looks badass to me. LOL. Not gonna do it anymore. Glad I saw this video!! Thank you for making it.

I always wear the Thegn's armour but with the helmet hidden. And I totally love the berserk Set.

When you mentioned the Huntsman armor, I want to point out that with a hunter bow and with charged shot, you can one shot about all normal enemies. And strong enemies like zealots or even the legendary animals, will take a bunch of damage without much risk. So if you just stay over 20 meters away and spam charged shot you can take down enemies pretty quick. This is very specific though and might not be a good playstyle for everyone.

That was a very good video. I wondered for my play style. Thank you! PS I'm the player with the Raven Clan everything at over 150 hours.

Thanks for review, I will say in defence of Berserker gear. I have it from beginning of the game as bonus for Ultimate. I played all AC games starting from AC II. In most of them I prefer fight and Critical hits to assassination 🤷🏻‍♂️. Berserker kit WITH CORRECT SET OF RUNES (and most of skills already used), gives me good enough opportunity to solve problems men style - Vikings style! In this kit my Eivor in fight acts like tank with good Armor and Health so it's hard to kill and gives to opponentS great damage and critical hits coming often. Varin's Axe used all time. At Pwr 352 I have 295 Armor 277 HP 87 weight Melee damage 110 In same time assassination damage 164. Which gives me good damage assassination (even more from behind - rune used). Prim weapon attack 152 Stun 178 Spd 56 Crit chance 94 Crit damage 48 Block 140 with Briton shield rune to have fire around. So its restores HP and creates fire.

Check out the Fallen Hero armour set. All five pieces are available in England. They are rewards for completing the four Tombs of the Fallen - newly released hidden dungeons, part of the free content update that arrived with AC Valhalla Patch 1.4.0 on November 9 2021.

Thanks. Was looking for this for some time now

This help me a lot,really thank you very much

Excellent guide, as always. I would add that the Berserker set is an early game set, unlocked for most at the very beginning of the game. Therefore I see it normal to be that low tier. Not that it is a bad set, just that it is supposed to be replaced by other sets at some time. Also it looks so cool.

That Frail from the Neilheim set 😮omg it literally said “goodbye” to the enemies

I just got the thengs armor for the first time and I love it. Great video man

You are a legend for making this

I was using magister set just because its look dope af after first upgrade. Style > Practical usage in case of this one

Tbh I played the entire game with the raven set xD

Awesome video, very helpful. I am glad I bought the armor from the yule festival

Great video thanks! Really explains the benefits of each gear, BUT, played the whole game in my Raven Clan armor, legendary, destroyed my enemies no problem never lost more than 1 health ration.

IMO, playing as an assassin, the magisters set is badass. I usually just go for looks with the armor and I think this one is the best looking for an assassin play through

I appreciate the rundown on all these armors. As a “raven” or assassin style player, I was hoping you’d go more in-depth in regards the the 3 main play styles vs just focusing on combat play. I think there are enough of us out here that it wouldn’t necessarily be considered niche.

What an amazing vídeo, thabks a million! ✌🏼😁🎮

The good thing is, like he said, the flashier armor is the most niche vs the simple most powerful, so that is why the feature of the blacksmith to change armor/weapon skins of anything is a great tool to have. So for example, I LOVE the look of the Musphaliem armor. The fire and brimstone look is just epic, but I agree, the need to ignite your weapon to get any benefit is just horrendous. Granted, I have gone most of the game without really using any other armor than that set, but now I am utilizing the skin change ability so I can keep my look but utilize better weapons and armor. I am a huge parry user with dual wield two handers. I annihilate enemies, but it would be nice to use better armor.

buddy said “if your play style is anything other than mine, you’re strange” lmao

Thors armour with Odins spear and king Arthur’s sword is insane

Thank you for the free armor set for linking prime, halfway through the game wish i knew from the start!

Great vid, thanks!

I use the berserker Armor because that helm, I swear, looks badass

The thegn/mentor combo is ridiculously good

Excellent Video, thanks for that! 👍

I’m equally excited and terrified to know which ones are s tier cause I love how Thor’s gear looks - damn

The Hel's and Niflhiem set have diamond rune slots in ever armor piece, that being said when you have a plethora of good armor runes you can make the Hel's armor atleast to B to maybe A tier and move Niflhiem to an S+ tier

I just finished the game, finished off the cult, fought the last of the 3 sisters, and got Mjolnir today and whoooooo it feels good. Guess I'll finish off the settlement tomorrow.

Just started playing it. I'm using the Twilight pack, at first I didn't like it due to looking very unrealistic but now I'm loving it.

I've just been using the carolingian armor thru out the entire game. Just got comfortable with it. Plus with the dagger, bow and shield that restores life I have been golden.

You forgot the gothic set, which gives you health buffs after every kill and set bonus of extra armor.

Me: spends about an hour looking for the magisters armor, Watches this vid, “Well I’ve wasted my time here”

vry useful video!! just bought the game 2 days ago and loving it! 😁😁

its soo easy to get lost in this game, it inspired me to make aa RU-vid video on it! This is very informative, the valkyrie armor set is bad ass!

F Tier: 1:42 D Tier: 4:18 C Tier: 7:13 B Tier: 10:32 A Tier: 13:24 S Tier: 15:16

Was kinda curious how you would rate the Black Raven set they just released. Been seriously loving it so far.

For those wanting to get any Helix sets and don’t want to use actual money for them then you could always check Reda’s shop daily and get it with Opals, though it may be a slow process to get it, it saves you money.

First time stumbling upon you, GREAT VIDEO you get to bread and butter, and ignore fillers, appreciate the video

Thanks for the ranking breakdown. Very informative. Personally I've evolved to the Hel's Damnation (complete set inclusive of with super fiery shield and Surtr sword it comes with) and loving it. It's truly an amazing set IMO. Prior to that I was rocking the Mentor's set which is also amazing but I quite like the fire aspect and bonus the Hel's Damnation pack offers so that's my current gear right now...plus it looks super badass. I'm really loving this game and currently addicted.

What do you think of the Mentor of Alamut set? This is the set I regularly use. Stats are: Increase Armor when equipped, and Increase Assassination damage and Stealth damage on successful Assassination. Best part was you get all 5 pieces all at once just from doing a side quest I stumbled upon. Unfortunately, I do not remember where it was, or exactly what the quest was called.

From the middle of the game i used Thegns armor and was crazy. Now i use Thegns + Mentors and yeaaa ... it looks cool and its crazy powerful too. CRIT Builds + Attack + Melee are very fun sets.

I just got the Brigandine set yesterday and got it to flawless level. I'm loving it so far.

F tier 1:52 Magister Set 2:25 Huldofolk Set 3:24 Berserker Set D tier 4:22 Huntsman Set 5:39 Hidden Ones Set 6:24 Galloglaich Set (personal favourite) C tier 7:20 Thor's Set (wtf) 8:39 Raven Clan Set 9:24 Hel's Damnation Set (store bought) B tier 10:45 Carolingian set (store bought/free for amazon prime members) 11:52 Draugr set (store bought) 12:34 Valkyrie set (store bought) A tier 13:40 Modrehnail Ceremonial Robe 14:27 Brigandine Set S tier 15:21 Thegn's heavy tunic 16:18 Mentor's Robe 17:38 Einherjar Set (store bought) (pronounced In-herr-yar) 18:02 Niflheim Set (store bought) Like if I made ur day easier😊

15:27 and you can get the thegns set really early on like I got it at 80 power.

Dude 100 percent on point!

Interested to here your view on the armour of the ancients from all the tomb's you clear and eventually get the sword of flames. A set worth mentioning also the St George set ? Cool video buddy 😎

Noticed the Fallen Hero set wasn't included....I'd be interested to know where it falls on the teir list. 2 piece increased armor, melee, and ranged; 5 piece getting hit drops an explosive dealing damage and knock back. I made it a point to get it early on and I'm pretty sure it's gonna carry through the whole game.

I finished the game with the Berserker armor at 100% on maximum difficulty just because I liked the way it looked.

I use the Draugr set. It looks cool. Plus I have all my weapons built around poison and fire buffs, so it works too.

I like that you are able to buy pieces of store packs from Reta. That’s pretty cool IMO.

I swear by the Beserker set. Idk it’s amazing.

With the new rune (increase stun after each hit) with Thor’s set and hammer is op! I’ll stun groups of enemies easily!

Its all well and good for some to solely rely on one singular set but it can also work out well if you mix and match the armor ie: couple of pieces from one set and a couple from another, gives you 2 different perks to play with instead of just one from some full sets, meaning: i run a couple pieces of the gothic armor set to give me the extra armor perk and im also using a couple pieces from raven clan armor which improves armor when health is low/additional increase to crit chance which helps when I'm running duel daggers (ones that improve crit damage and speed) or duel weapons for evasion/crit chance+damage. But still, use whatever you're more comfortable with and continue enjoying the game 👍

I have the Thegn’s armor equipped and I got it VERY early in the game. I’m on about power 175 now and I’ll probably keep that armor on for a lot longer

Man I'm just loving the Amazon Prime Carolingian armor and spear so far. I'm only Power 70 but feel so tanks and overpowered even on Very Hard difficulty. And its FREE!

I like using Thor’s armor because it has really good protection 🤷‍♂️

Hi Codiak, love your videos mate. Got Valhalla for Xmas and absolutely loving it, one of the best AC games in the series in my opinion. Your vids (all of them!) have really helped me get to grips with some of the finer points, keep it up buddy 👍

Agree on mixing two armor sets - currently mixing mentor and brigandine, but looking to replace the brigandine with the jormungandr armor set from Reda - Increase damage taken by 25%. Increase melee damage +65 when equipped ^^ Additional increase to +10 attack when equipped 5/5

I love the Magister's set. You're an assassin, the less you're seen the better, so operating at night is another layer of immersion. The rest are pretty spot-on though.

I'm waiting for them to release some armor that will make me look like scorpion from mortal kombat since they have that one ability that's like scorpions spear thing he uses

I love the magister, it looks good and does what i need. I like to play assassin style but I don’t like the hidden one so I’ve settled with the magister

I’m using the mentor’s set right now but i am still searching for the best weapon/offhand/bow to go along with it, do you have any recommendations?
