If you are one of those people who think that legendary armor is better than epic armor in AC Odyssey, then think again. There are armor sets, other than legendary ones, that are more effective. However, that also doesn’t imply that grinding for legendary armor sets is useless in the game.

Arena Fighter’s Set
| Damage Buffs | How To Acquire |
|
Get Rid Of all the arena fighters at Level 50. |
This is one of the messy armor sets in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, but it can be useful if utilized properly. Most of the pieces individually offer different damage to all types of weapons and abilities. It has +50% Assassin damage, +50% Warrior damage, and 25% Hunter damage. See if all of that was focused on just one type, then it would be a much better armor set. That said if you are a player who loves switching abilities and weapons, then this might be a perfect match for you.
- Why I Chose This: Because of its dynamic playstyle.
- Enhances Assassin, Warrior, and Hunter Damage.
- Restores health with overpowering abilities.
- Requires unlocked overpower abilities.
- Has Mixed Damage Focus.
Master’s Artemis Set
| Damage Buffs | How To Acquire |
|
Complete all the Daughter Of Artemis Quests. |
This set is one of the best-looking armor sets in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, it has that assassin vibe and the face painting. All in all, it looks good and pleasing when you wear the complete set. However, the looks aren’t the main focus of this set because this is a very deadly hunting outfit. The set bonus for the set is +50% Damage with Hunter Abilities, which is just insane, especially for players who use hunting abilities a lot.
- Why I Chose This: Enhanced precision and lethality from a distance.
- Enhances damage for Hunter Abilities.
- Gains Adrenaline on Headshot Kill.
- Obtaining the set takes time.
- Suited for players favoring long-range bow combat.
Athenian War Hero Set
| Damage Buffs | How To Acquire |
|
Get Rid Of all the members of the Delian League Of Cult Of The Kosmos. |
This is a bow-focused armor set in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which pretty much makes your bow and arrow invincible. Using this set grants you the bonus on all arrows that can pierce the shields; nothing can stop your arrows. It can sometimes be annoying when your arrows are completely shut by enemy shields, but no more with this set.
- Why I Chose This: Shows dominance in Archery and has increased Hunter Damage.
- Each piece boosts Hunter Damage.
- Faster Charging Speed and increased Charged Shot Damage.
- Ideal for players favoring bow combat.
- Available after completing episode 3.
Demigod Set

|
Get Rid Of Deimos. For the 5th piece complete A Fresh Start quest. |
A great overall armor set in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey but still a bit more lenient towards Warrior damage. The Demigod Armor set has an increased 10% damage, which is why it can be considered a great overall set. Then, each individual piece offers 25% Warrior damage and 10% all damage. Combining them, all you get is 125% Warrior and 50% all damage, meaning it’s good as an overall set.
- Why I Chose This: It enhances Warrior and all Damage.
- Enhances Warrior and All Damage.
- Suited for players experimenting with skills.
- Acquired after defeating Deimos.
- Obtained during Chapter 9.
First Civilization Set

|
Loot Everything in the quests in Atlantis to get your hands on this armor set. |
This armor set is hit or miss for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey players when it comes to looks. Most people would love the design, aesthetics, and overall glowy looks, while some won’t. The most appealing thing I found about this armor is the glowing circles on all the pieces. Somehow, it also has the original Assassin’s Creed feeling attached to it as well.
- Why I Chose This: It has a nostalgic and striking design and impressive damage.
- Boosts Assassin Damage and Ares Madness Ability.
- Increased Crit Damage while Low Health.
- Acquired during DLC quests in Atlantis.

Spartan Renegade Set

Can be purchased for 1000 Helix from the store in the game. |
In Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, this armor is one of a kind since it’s purely for critical damage. It has an insane bonus of 100% Crit Damage with Warrior Abilities. Each of the individual pieces has 25% Warrior damage along with a total of 20% Crit Chance, +20% Health, and 50% Crit Damage. This set also has a +30% Damage with spears, so use it with the crit-focused spear.

Pegasos Armor Set
| Damage Buffs | How To Acquire |
|
Can be purchased for 1500 Helix from the store in the game. |
The Pegasos is the best set of armor in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey to use abilities with because of its adrenaline boosts. The set bonus offers +200% Adrenaline on a perfectly timed dodge, and while fighting, most players dodge a lot, meaning you will virtually have an unlimited pool of Adrenaline. If that’s not enough, then one of its engravings has 30% Adrenaline per hit, and that should be enough for you to use as many abilities as you want.
- Why I Chose This: Increased sword damage and adrenaline boost.
- Increased Damage with swords.
- Gains Adrenaline per hit.
- Requires Helix store purchase.
- Alternative sets or epic armors can be more accessible.
My Opinion On The Best Armor Sets
As someone who loved playing AC Odyssey, including its DLCs, I personally love the Spartan Renegade Set mostly because the Critical damage boosts provided by its perks to Warrior abilities helped me plow through the secret bosses during the post-game grind. Furthermore, the adrenaline boost from perfect dodges is also extremely helpful for constant ability recharge.
Lastly, my favorite visual armor type is definitely the Amazon Set, not just because of how I can make Kassandra look straight up like Wonder Woman, but also because the set has some decent perks, such as the extra 30% damage using Spear-Type weapons.
