Here are some other Armor Sets in Lords of the Fallen to ensure good mobility and defense at the same time.

  • Judge Cleric Set: Boasts the highest Holy damage mitigation and provides notable defense against Bleeding and Smite attacks.

My Experience

I played through Lords of the Fallen using the Hallowed Knight class, with a build that was more focused on melee, so my armor needed not to get in the way of dodging attacks.

For the majority of the early-mid game, I rocked the original Hallowed Knight armor. But later down the line, I mixed and matched multiple sets like the Vanguard and Sacred Resonance Set to suit my build progression. You can learn more about builds by reading best builds in Lords of the Fallen
