Top 16 AC Odyssey BEST Armor With Locations

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has tons of armor to choose from, but the best amongst them are legendary ones. 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.

Stick around, and I’ll show you everything you need to know about the best Assassin’s Creed Odyssey armors and why the gear system in this game is one of the best ones in the entire franchise.

Below I’ve outlined the complete details of the best armor in AC Odyssey:

Pirate Set 

The Pirate armor set is hands down the best Assassin build armor in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. When equipped, with all gear pieces individually, players get 25% assassin damage making a total of 125%. Then the armor set’s additional 15% damage to all assassin abilities allows you for an instant kill during assassination even on powerful enemies.

Other than that, this armor set has a good amount of crit chance, crit damage, and additional crit chance when the health is full, not to mention the 50% adrenaline gain with every successful assassination.  All in all this armor is the ultimate set for players looking for the best Assassin build in the game.

How To Get The Pirate Set

• Acquisition of the pirate armor set requires defeating all members of the Cult of Cosmos called Gods of the Aegean Sea.
• The members are encountered in naval battles due to their expertise in sea battles.
• Members do not have fixed spawn locations but can be found in specific areas at sea.

Spartan War Hero Set 

Spartan War Hero has the best Warrior stats amongst all the armor sets in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. The set itself has a bonus of 15% Damage with Warrior Abilities and then each piece of the armor has +25% Warrior damage; meaning this set has a total of 140% Warrior Damage, which is insane.

For those of you who prefer fighting and brawling with opponents then this game has no better piece of equipment than Spartan War Hero Set. On top of the warrior damage, this set also grants you an extra +10% CRIT Chance, +20% damage with Overpower Abilities, and +50% CRIT Damage. So what better option do you have for a Warrior build other than equipping this armor set? Well, if you have one then let me know in the comments.

How To Get Spartan War Hero Set 

• Spartan War Hero armor is acquired after completing Chapter 7 of the main story.
• The set is obtained by killing members of the Cult of Kosmos.
• Requires you to defeat members of the Peloponnesian League.
• Three members of the league are part of the main quests, while others must be located and killed to obtain the complete armor set.

Agamemnon Set

By far the only armor set in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey that I would recommend using if you want to have a ridiculous amount of fire damage on the enemies. Agamemnon Set has +80% Fire Damage, +20 Seconds Burning Duration, and +50% Elemental Buildup. Use it with a weapon like Mallet of Everlasting Flame and your fire attack damage will go through the roof, off-the-charts, whatever suits your boat.

The second most noticeable thing about this armor is its warrior damage which is at 125% just like most of the armor in my list. However, the warrior damage affects all of the armor differently because of their nature. For this one, it makes the close-range fights much more fierce and intense. So, for players who are looking for the best Fire-based armor set in AC Odyssey, then this one is for you.

How To Get The Agamemnon Set

• Agamemnon Set acquisition requires assassinating all members of the Silver Vein cult.
• Members are heavily guarded which can pose a challenge.
• Hunting them becomes possible after completing Episode 3 in the main story.

Snake Set 

This armor set, more or less, is the Intoxication version of the Agamemnon Set. However, that doesn’t mean that the Snake Set is the only best-suited armor for intoxication in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, it has a rival. The set has a bonus of +10% Intoxicated Damage and Weakening Effect; extremely useful for dealing high intoxication damage on enemies. The set also has +20 Seconds of Intoxicated Duration, +80% Poison Damage, and +50% Elemental Buildup. All of that combined makes up for a damn good Intoxication armor set.

Unlike most sets on my lists, this set has Assassin damage instead of Warrior damage with individual pieces. Each piece has +25% Assassin Damage adding up to a total of 125% Assassin damage, which is pretty neat.

How To Get The Snake Set

• The Snake Set armor is obtained from the Cult of Kosmos.
• All pieces are acquired by killing members of the Eyes of Kosmos group.
• Eliminating one member is part of the main quest in Chapter 3.
• The remaining members are located and hunted down in Greece for the complete set acquisition.

Master Assassin’s Set 

This armor set is the direct rival to the Snake Set and is next in line for the best Intoxication Armor set in AC Odyssey since it also has great Intoxication engravings. The set has a total of +80% Poison Damage along with +20 Seconds Intoxicated status effect duration, making it a great rival to the Snake Armor Set. However, both of these armor sets come with unique set bonuses.

The bonus for this set is that the Vanish Ability intoxicates enemies and costs no Adrenaline, while the Snake Set has +10% Intoxicated status effect damage and weakening effect. If you look just for Intoxication damage then the Snake Set dominates but it can be more useful than its Master Assassin’s Set. 

How To Get The Master Assassin’s Set

• Master Assassin’s Set is acquired through a DLC quest.
• It is obtained by defeating all members of the Order of Dominion.
• Order of Dominion is part of the Legacy of the First Blade DLC where each member drops a different piece of armor.
• The full set is unlocked after killing all members of the Order.

Pilgrim Armor Set 

Most of the armors in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey have a unique look except for a few and this is one of them. The first thing that everyone notices about this set is its look. It closely resembles the original Assassin’s Creed outfit, which is nostalgic in itself. Other than looks, this set is absolutely a must when it comes to sneaking in. The set bonus is -100% Adrenaline Consumed by Shadow of Nyx Ability meaning it’s free to use. On top of that, you also have +40% Movement Speed while Crouching.

This set can also be considered great for the assassin damage since all the pieces have +25% Assassin Damage, just like the Pirate set, but both of them have different set bonuses. Other than that, this armor set has adrenaline gain engravings, which make a balanced assassin and combat set.

How To Get The Pilgrim Armor Set

• The Pilgrim Set acquisition involves finding pieces scattered across different temples in Greece.
• Temples are heavily guarded by guards or bandits.
• Sneaking into temples is recommended due to the powerful enemies guarding them.
• Piece retrieval is challenging due to guarded locations.

Immortal Set 

This armor set is one of a kind in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. As the name suggests, this armor quite literally makes you immortal with its set bonus. It’s not exactly immortal, but it restores 100% of your health once you die and has a cooldown of one minute. 

This armor also offers some very useful engravings such as +120% CRIT Damage while Low Health, +50% CRIT Damage, and 40% Adrenaline per CRIT. All of this along with 125% warrior damage as well. This armor set is suitable for players who just want to fight head-on no matter what, even if it’s against a whole fort. Moreover, if you are one of those players, it is worth hunting for this armor.

How To Get The Immortal Set

• Immortal Set acquired by defeating all members of the Worshippers of the Bloodline cult.
• Eliminations include one as part of the main quest and one as a side quest.
• The remaining members can be hunted down.
• The set acquisition may be tiring but considered 100% worthwhile.

Greek Heroes Set 

Fighting a dynamic class of opponents in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey can undoubtedly annoy even the veteran players. However, the Greek Heroes armor set is the best way to deal with literally all sorts of opponents in the game. This set has a +20% All Resistances set bonus, which will protect you against fire, toxicants, and other status effects. 

This set is ideal for situations such as Arena and Conquest Battles. The armor pieces of this set have engravings such as +60% Total Armor and +20% Health, which will help you stay alive and keep fighting. Other than that, each piece has 25% warrior damage, making it a force to reckon with. 

How To Get The Greek Heroes Set 

• To acquire the Greek Heroes Set, you need to get rid of a few specific mercenaries for each set piece.
• Killing these mercenaries can be a bit difficult but not too much, and the reward for all the killing is also worth it.
• Here is the list of mercenaries carrying pieces of the Greek Heroes Set:
  • Perseus’s helmet is carried by the Translucent.
  • To get Jason’s Golden Fleece get rid of the Resplendent.
  • Kill the Flash to get the Bracers of Theseus.
  • Hippolyta’s Belt can be acquired by ridding of the Frenzied.
  • And lastly, get the Atalanta Sandalsthe by defeating the Lucky Drunk.

Arena Fighter’s Set 

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.

All the set bonuses for this armor are absolutely crazy, which is +50% Health Restored with Overpower Abilities. Besides, your overpowering abilities will give you 50% of that health. The armor is only useful if you have unlocked those abilities otherwise, it is not worth much.

How To Get The Arena Fighter’s Set

• Defeat all the Arena fighters at level 50.
• It is highly recommended that the player should be at level 50 at least before fighting them.
• You will find the arena after defeating your first mercenary, the Talos.
• This will then unlock the quest “They just want cruelty,” and this will lead you to the Arena.

Master’s Artemis Set 

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.

The individual pieces of the set heavily focus on the usage of the bow. This set has +50% Headshot Damage,+20% Bow Charging Speed, +50% Adrenaline on Headshot Kill, +30% Damage with Bows on Distant Targets, and +20% Damage with Bow Charged Shot. Furthermore, this whole armor set is perfect for players who use a bow and prefer taking their enemies down from afar.

How To Get The Master’s Artemis Set

• The Master’s Artemis Set can take some time for acquisition, but it’s worth it for players wanting to get that Hunter damage.
• You can get this set by completing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Daughters of Artemis quests.
• All of these quests require you to hunt a legendary creature in the Grecce and then return to Daphnae.
• All of the creatures are difficult to kill, so it is recommended that you go prepare for each of them.

Athenian War Hero Set 

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.

This set grants you 125% total hunting damage, with each piece having +25% Hunter Damage. Along with this, you also get +20% Bow Charging Speed, +20% Damage with Bow Charged Shot, and +50% Headshot Damage, which are pretty much like the Master’s Artemis Set. Overall, I believe it is the best set to use with a bow, along with the Master’s Artemis Set.

How To Get The Athenian War Hero Set

• You can get the Athenian War Hero Set by defeating all the members of the Delian League of the Cult of Kosmos.
• These cultist members can only be hunted after you’ve completed episode 3 of the main story.
• Some of the cult members can be hunted, while some are part of side quests.

Demigod Set

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.

If you are a player who loves switching and experimenting with different skills, then this set is perfect for you, and you can always switch to Warrior abilities if in trouble.

How To Get Demigod Set

• The Demigod armor set is acquired after you defeat Deimos in your battle.
• The battle happens in Chapter 9 of the main story, which will give you 4 pieces out of 5.
• You can acquire the 5th piece by completing the quest called A Fresh Start.
• Take the quest from Aspasia, who is in the Sanctuary of Delphi.

First Civilization 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.

The overall efficiency of this armor set is for assassination damage. Since it gives you a total of +125% Assassin damage and a set bonus of +10s duration for Ares Madness Ability, this ability is basically an assassin damage boost for a short while. The set also has a total of 220% CRIT Damage while Low Health, making you completely lethal in that state.

How To Get The First Civilization Set

• The First Civilization set is part of the DLC quests.
• The armor pieces are obtained during your adventures with Aletheia’s simulation of Elysium while the Peloponnesian War is happening.
• During your quests in Atlantis, loot everything to find the pieces of this armor.
• If somehow you don’t find them, go to the blacksmith; he will surely have the pieces of this.

Amazon Set 

The Amazon set has a great health bonus, which is that 5% of damage dealt will be restored as health. 

This set also has 25% warrior damage for each piece, and other than that, it has some common engravings. The +50% CRIT Damage, +10% CRIT Chance, and +20% Health stand out as some other useful engraving. However, if you want a health regeneration armor set, then the Immortal Set is the best, but if you look, then go with this one. Lastly, Alexios will get the Achilles Set, and only Cassandra can get the Amazon Set.

How To Get The Amazon Set

• The Amazon set is also part of the Cult of Kosmos.
• You will have to kill all the members of Heroes of the Cult.
• Three of the members can be hunted down, while the rest of the two are part of the quests. 

Spartan Renegade Set 

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.

I recommend not using any elemental perks with this armor. Since it will take away the crit damage and a good chunk of warrior damage, use engraving, which increases your chance for crit chance and crit damage to get the best out of this set.

How To Get The Spartan Renegade Set

• The Spartan Renegade set is purchased for 1000 Helix from the in-game store.
• It may or may not be worth it; however, if you like this suit, then buy it.
• When you purchase this set, you also get a legendary spear and a Spartan Renegade skin for Phobos.

Pegasos Armor Set 

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.

Besides that, the Pegasos set is focused on Warrior damage. Each piece has +25% Warrior Damage, and it also has +30% Damage with Swords, meaning you can use this set for unlimited sword warrior abilities with very high damage.

How To Get The Pegasos Set

• The Pegasos Armor set is bought from the in-game store for 1,500 Helix.
• I recommend not buying this since it is way too expensive, plus you are paying real money.
• The set may be good for Adrenaline, but other sets can be just as good.
• If you don’t like those, then you can always go for an epic armor with custom engravings.

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.
