The best Elden Ring armor sets to use as early game armor

The best Elden Ring armor sets to use as early game armor

These are the best armors you can get quite easily in the early Elden Ring game.


Choosing the best set of armor can annoy many Elden Ring players, especially at the beginning of the game. This is because when you are just starting out, your character is very weak and most of the enemies can easily take them down. This makes game progression slower. But do not worry. Here is a list of some recommended armor sets that you can use to improve your defense and handle battles better.

The best early game Elden Ring armors and sets

Top 5 sets of Elden Ring armor that you can get relatively early as armor are:

1. Al Faris Group
2. Godric Knight Collection
3. Nate Neve Group
4. Soldier Raya Lokarian Group
5. Karan Knight Collection

Here's why it's recommended and how to get it:

Al Faris Group

I start with the most relevant group to get to this list. You can purchase the Twin Maiden Husks Jockey Set from Roundtable Hold. But you will need to farm runes for it. As this set of armor costs a total of 10,500 runes to obtain all of its pieces.


It's nothing too special of a group, but it's on this list for two reasons. The first is that it is easy to buy. And secondly, his stats are good enough to defend you from several early enemies. It is also appropriate to use when fighting bosses such as Margit, Fell Omen, or Godrick the Grafted. Its stats are:

• Weight: 25.3
• Denial of physical damage: 24.6

1. Denial of strike damage VS: 23.6
2. Slant damage denial VS: 26.5
3. Damage denial VS Pierce: 26.5

If you started as a Vagabond class, its default equipment is a better choice, and you shouldn't change it.

Godric Knight Collection

The next set on this list is the Godrick Knight set. This is another group that you can get into fairly early in the game. But the problem with this deck is that it requires you to do a lot of farming. You can get the pieces of this set as drops by killing a Godrick Knight soldier. One of them can be found outside the Gatefront Ruins. Its stats are:

• Weight: 26.5
• Denial of physical damage: 24.6

1. Denial of strike damage VS: 23.6
2. Slant damage denial VS: 27.4
3. Damage denial VS Pierce: 25.5

Alternatively, you can also try to get the Godrick Soldier set. The process is almost the same as the process for obtaining the Godrick Knight set. Only this time you will kill Godrick's soldiers instead. The good thing is that they are available in abundance so you have a better chance of getting them.

Knight's Collection - The best early game armor in the Elden Range

Another set of armor that you can get by raising a powerful enemy is the Banished Knight set. The closest banished knight you can find is in Stormveil Castle. Kill them, and they can drop set-pieces. Remember, this is the heaviest deck on this list and may not be quite ideal for classes like Warrior, Bandit, or Prisoner. Its stats are:

• Weight: 41.6
• Physical damage denial: 35.5

1. Denial of strike damage VS: 29.2
2. VS Denial of Cutting Damage: 36.4
3. Damage denial VS Pierce: 33.5

But don't worry, while it can be heavy, it gives you higher stability and better damage negation than the combos listed here.

Soldier Raya Lokarian Group

Just like Godrick Knight or Soldier combos. You can get a Raya Lucarian Soldier by breeding Raya Lucaria Soldiers. It can be easily found outside the Raya Lucaria Academy. This is an option to consider if you are more concerned with the appearance of your armor. Because most of her stats are very similar to Knight Set. Its stats are:

• Weight: 41.6
• Physical damage denial: 35.5

1. Denial of strike damage VS: 29.2
2. VS Denial of Cutting Damage: 36.4
3. Damage denial VS Pierce: 33.5

Karan Knight Collection

Finally, the last group on this list is the Carian Knight group. It combines the best of lightweight and high defense. And the best part is that you don't have to breed enemies or buy this set as you can get the entire set for free. Just head to the cemetery from the Cuckoo Church. Go right from the entrance and jump onto the platform where you can find some enemies worshiping a tombstone. Throw it away or ignore it and pick up the collection from the tombstone. Its stats are:

• Weight: 25.1
• Denial of physical damage: 23.5

1. Denial of strike damage VS: 21.6
2. VS Denial of cutting damage: 24.5
3. Damage denial VS Pierce: 23.5

Elden Ring Shield locations

While some armor in the Elden Ring can be randomly dropped by specific enemies, most of the better armor sets are not, and we've narrowed down the armor that will help players who feel a little naked. What we've laid out above and below are some of the best armor sites out there, keeping in mind the needs of multiple types of players. If these armor sets are repurchased in Roundtable Hold, we instead locate the boss you need to kill to unlock them.
