Summary
There are dozens of Unique Armoravailable inAvowedfor players to choose from, but the reality is that some of them are simply better than others. Be it by its specs, or the special perks these rare pieces of equipment have, they are often one notch above all others in terms of utility and protection levels.
And since most players will prefer to have an optimized build to face many dangerous enemies in the Living Lands, havingthe best unique armorfor every occasion is a must. In this ranked topic, players will have all the information they need to pick the best Unique Armor in Avowed, including stats, bonuses, and where to get them.
8Eothasian Breastplate
The Best Companion For Fighters
TheEothasian Breastplateis one of the easiest pieces of Unique Armor to get inAvowedand has some of the best bonuses for Fighters and Tanks that players can find throughout the adventure.Found inside a cave in the Grim Wetlands, an area of the Emerald Stair Region, this Heavy Armor Breastplate has considerable protection against Damage that only improves as players upgrade it using materials in the Workbench.
Since it increases healing received from all sources (that means, Potions, Food, Passive Effects from other equipment, Life Steal, and Healing from Giatta’s Abilities) it becomes the best choice for melee fighters, since they will be receiving lots of damage all the time. Being in the frontline is harsh, but with this breastplate that increases Damage Reduction by an extra 3% during the day, players will get decent mitigation and will be able to rampage to their heart’s content.
7Steel Garrote Plate
A Good Choice For Various Builds
TheSteel Garrote Plateis a Unique Heavy Armor piece thatcan be obtained relatively earlyduring the adventure and offers great protection in exchange for a dire penalty at both Total Stamina and Stamina Action Cost. On the other hand, it has one of the best Perks a piece of armor can have inAvowed- Balanced Scales, which returns damage to attackers when they blast the Envoy for one-quarter of their total health.
This ensures that Bosses like the Delemgan Queen cannot go unpunished by focusing all their attacks on the players, and its +1 to Constitution is also great to have since every Attribute increase in the game is precious.
6Robes Of Surpassing Brilliance
The Best Choice For Wizards
TheRobes of Surpassing Brilliancecan be found in Shatterscarp, on the southern side of the Ancient Lakebed area (inside the coral cave that can be accessed by dropping from the upper ledge), and it is the best Light Armor for Wizards, since it increases AoE damage by 15%, andthe Most Powerful Wizard Spellscause AoE effects and damage.
Plus, that extra bump to the Essence Pool will help spellcaster players deal with the cost of spells. On the downside, light armor doesn’t offer as much protection as other types of armor, but it is easier to move using it and the cost of attacking, parrying, and blocking will be lesser.
5Gambeson Of The Grand Empire
Ideal For Rangers Using Firearms
One of the best things aboutAvowedrange combat is that there are severalincredible options for those trying the Ranger class. Pistols and Arquebuses are the best possible choices since they deal lots of damage and Stun build-up. But, on the downside, firearms are quite primitive in Eora, so having more Action Speed/Reload Speed is a must.
This is where theGambeson of the Grand Empirecomes into play, a piece of Medium armor that players will obtain upon arriving at Thirdborn if they have helped the refugees in the “Escape Plan” side quest found in the Docks, in Paradis (Dawnshore). Simply talking to Leoflaed or Glaedwine near the entrance of Thirdborne will grant players this reward that offers a whopping 15% increase in Reload Speed.
4Stelgaer’s Pride
Best Armor For Two-Handed Berserkers
When players think about Two-Handed Weapons, they often think that Heavy Armor is the best option, but this is not always the best choice. In fact, Heavy Weapons pair better with Medium Armor, since the Stamina economy impact on players wearing it will be less.
But the main attraction ofStelgaer’s Prideis its bonus to Stamina Regeneration Rate and the Barbaric Shout free spell cast each time the player’s health drops below 30 and grants a buff that makes weapon attacks Uninterruptable and boosts Stun build-up.
3Stormdancer’s Scales
Good Balance Between Protection And Utility
TheStormdancer’s Scalecan be obtained once players reach Thirdborn (Shatterscarp) afteraiding Keipo and his nephew in the “Heart of Valor” quest. It offers decent protection for a Medium Armor piece, and one of the coolest perks of all Unique Armor, called Sheltering Gale, which adds a 5% chance to avoid incoming ranged attacks, be it spells or fire from enemy Arquebuses, Bows, and Pistols.
Since Shatterscarp is filled to the brim with Dreamthrall enemies who often use Ranged attacks, this Mail Armor is the best response to them. Plus, the extra protection against Shock Accumulation makes it useful against those pesky Wizard enemies using Electric Spells.
2Hjilde’s Handy Hide
Great Elemental Protection And Extra Stats
Hjilde’s Handy Hide is another great piece of Medium Armor that offers great protection against Elemental Attacks of all types and has a great boost to Maximum Health that makes it an interesting option for Rangers and Wizards since they are more vulnerable to damage.
This armor can be obtained by delving into a cave located northeast of the Ranger Headquarters in the Emerald Stair Region. The cave is located east of a small pond, below the Abandoned Homestead, so players cannot miss it.
1Tranton Family Brigandine
Boosts Companion’s Damage
TheTranton Family Brigandinecan be obtained in the Emerald Stair region while completing the bounty for the Tranton Family, so getting it will be part of a targeted sub-quest, and there will be no need to delve around looking for it.
It offers moderate protection, but its most interesting feature is the Familial Bonds Perk, which boosts all damage dealt by companions by 20%, and this also includes Abilities. This is great for playersrunning Marius and Yatzlisince they’re both Nukers and that extra damage buff makes them even more lethal.
