Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC introduces a plethora of new items, including a variety of formidable armor sets. While each set boasts unique aesthetics and properties, the “best” armor ultimately depends on the player’s individual playstyle and preferences.
One highly sought-after set is the Fingerprint Set, renowned for its exceptional poise and damage negation. This heavy armor excels in tanking hits and shrugging off blows, making it ideal for those who favor a defensive approach. Conversely, the Briar Set offers a more offensive-oriented option, with its unique thorns that inflict damage upon attackers. This set caters to aggressive players who relish close-quarters combat.
