Dragon's Dogma 2 may have limited the amount of armor players can find during their adventure in this action RPG, but that doesn't stop players from finding the right armor to protect them against certain things. One of the main stats that players can find resistance in is slash damage.

Dragon's Dogma 2: Best Armor For Magick Defense

Looking to protect yourself from magic in Dragon's Dogma 2? These are the best armor pieces for the job.

This is a type of physical damage in Dragon's Dogma 2 that melee vocations will likely want high defense in. With this in mind, these armors are by far the best for an Arisen, and their pawns, who are looking for a high amount of slash resistance above all else, and where players can find these armors too.

8 Creedbound Armor

Made For Physical Defenses

• It can be purchased from Bodas' Armory.

Players who are looking for an armor that purely defends them from physical damage while playing as the vocations, such as Fighter or Mystict Spearhand, should look no further than the Creedbound Armor.

Though it doesn't have any elemental or deliberation resistance, its strong point is the high defense that makes this armor a promising choice for many. Not to mention the 5-slash resistance to reduce incoming physical damage of that type, which usually comes in the form of swords and claws.

7 Final Roar

Strong Against Slash But Weak To Deliberations

• It can be purchased at Bodas' Armory or found in a chest in the Tomb of Ja'Nuwa.

Although this armor may not look like it has much to it, with the majority of the armor being made up of a piece of hide around the Arisen or pawn's waist, this piece of armor made only for Warriors is perfect for any melee unit that is expected to be in front of their foes.

Alongside the decent physical defense stat, the Final Roar also has an equal amount of slash and strike resistance, making it a perfect option when players are adventuring during the late game.

6 Totemic Shroud

Tricksters Need Defense To Stay Standing

• It can only be purchased at the Bay Wayside Shrine during the endgame.

Although many players may deem the Trickster vocation to be one of the least enjoyed out of the available vocations in Dragon's Dogma 2, that doesn't mean the vocation doesn't have any decent armors to defend against slashing damage.

Find the perfect mix of Magick and melee with this list of the best Mystic Spearhead duospears in Dragon's Dogma 2.

The Totemic Shroud, which is one of many armors players can purchase during the endgame, is one of the best for players who are enjoying the Trickster vocation to use. Tricksters need to have high defense while they attempt to avoid danger and having this extra slash resistance is vital to achieve this.

5 Dvarapala

Best Thief Armor In The Game

• It can be purchased at the Bay Wayside Shrine but only during the endgame.

This armor has been gracefully named after a shrine guardian, showing the sheer power and protection a thief is likely to gain when wearing this body armor during the endgame of Dragon's Dogma 2.

While Dvarapala may not protect the player from any deliberation, it's a perfect chest piece for thieves who are hoping to resist various forms of physical damage, including slash, which has 5 in. This is by far one of the best sets for a player or their pawn who is hoping to play as a thief at the end of the game.

4 Stygian Omen

Great Slash Resistance Outfit For Fighters

• It can be purchased at the Bay Wayside Shrine but only during the endgame.

Melee vocations continue to have some of the best stats when it comes to armor that has the best slash resistance. Fighters are able to protect themselves from this damage using not only their shield but also the armor they adorn themselves with.

The Stygian Omen body armor is a piece players can only purchase during the endgame, but the resistances are worth the wait. With a decent defense against slashing damage, it is also perfect for a player looking for more protection against the various deliberations in Dragon's Dogma 2.

3 Charming Corset

Stylish Even If Hard To Get

• Players are rewarded with the Charming Corset after finding 150 Seeker Tokens and trading them in at a Vocations Guild.

Players who are looking for an outfit in Dragon's Dogma 2 that can be worn by every vocation with decent slash resistance need to look no further than the Charming Corset.

There are a ton of fantastic weapons to use in Dragon's Dogma 2, but not all of them are available early on. Thankfully, these weapons are.

While arguably this outfit may look better on a woman, that doesn't mean men are excluded from fighting in style while wearing this burgundy corset. Besides its slash resistance, the Charming Corset also has great physical and Magick resistance, making it perfect to be worn in multiple scenarios.

2 August Dalmatica

Mages Must Be Defended Against Everything

• Drops from a Wight in the Enoa'Battahl Cavern

While melee attackers are likely to be the vocations that need the most defense against physical attacks, players may be surprised to find out that some of the best slash-resistant armor can be found being worn by the vocations that use Magick instead.

The August Dalmatica robe is a body armor piece that players cannot buy with gold and can only be found by exploring the world of Dragon's Dogma 2. It has an increased amount of slash resistance, making it perfect for mages that end up being on the frontlines, keeping the rest of the party healed and buffed.

1 Arch-Conjuror's Robe

Not Only The Best For Slash Resistance But Also For Tricksters

• It can be purchased from Brokkr's Smithy during the endgame only, it also has a small percent chance to drop from the Lesser Dragon.

Out of all the available armor in Dragon's Dogma 2, it's a surprise to see that the armor that is the best for slash resistance from the body armor is in fact a trickster option.

The Arch-Conjuror's Robe has the highest slash resistance available out of the various body armors in Dragon's Dogma 2, meaning it can only be worn by the Trickster vocation, or a player that has decided to play as the Warfarer Vocation instead. Besides this resistance, the Arch-Conjuror's Robe is also perfect for defending against lightning and various deliberations.
