Assassin's Creed Valhalla has won over many fans' hearts with its integration of Norse mythology in the Assassin's Creed series. With this inclusion comes plenty of historical weapons and locations for players to discover.
Another part of the appeal for fans of the game is wearing the cool Viking armor in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. These are not only stylish but help the players with specific stat boosts depending on how many of the five pieces they collect.
Depending on the gamer's specific play style, there are many different options to choose from. So here are tips on which armor sets to build that will benefit the player the most in Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
Way of the Raven
The play style of the raven armor abilities takes a more stealth approach to gameplay. In terms of helmet gear, "The Hidden Ones" set is great because it gives players a boost for assassination damage when the character is crouched and undetected for more than 10 seconds for the first bonus. Equipping all of the Hidden Ones set grants players additional headshot damage with the bow. This armor set can be found in the Hidden Ones Bureau locations scattered across the cities.
When it comes to armor, the Raven Clan armor set compliments this well by increasing armor defense as the player's health goes down. Additionally, equipping the whole set will increase the gamer's chance to score critical hits.
Way of the Bear
Valhalla's Berserker armor set gives all-around stat bonuses to players who like to jump into battle. Also, having the player wearing a bear's head for the helmet makes Eivor look incredibly threatening. The first stat boost increases the player's speed while taking damage until the character heals again, which is great for escaping tricky situations. When wearing all of the Berserker armor set, fans will get an increase in attack and armor. Perfect for rushing in and dealing massive damage and tactically fleeing when necessary.
For armor, the Thegns cloak goes great with the berserker set because it grants players an increased chance for critical hits when parrying. Completing the whole set increases the actual critical hit damage.
Way of the Wolf
The way of the wolf benefits the gamers who prefer to take out their enemies from a distance. The huntsman set gives players an additional ranged damage boost for players over 20m away from their opponents. Wearing the whole set will give players a speed boost, ideal for keeping out of the enemy's range.
As it goes without saying, these benefits are helpful, but upgrading armor quality plays an equally important role in a good armor set. Bringing ingots back to Gunnar the Blacksmith to improve armor pieces at the player's settlement in Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be crucial to surviving against tough enemies. Other than that, players can choose whichever set to focus on that will complement their individual playstyle. Hopefully, this guide gives players the tips they need to customize themselves in a useful and stylish armor set.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
