Skull And Bones: 7 Best Ship Armors [My Recommendations]

The first one on the list is Iron Husk, easily obtainable in Skull and Bones. You can get this epic armor early in the game, and the crafting requirements aren’t that high, either. With that said, you would need to get a blueprint first to craft it. Also, I consider it the best armor for the early game, as it provides great protection against explosives. 

If the enemies are using weapons that deal explosive damage to your ship or they are using the Blaster ship, you would definitely need Iron Husk 5 for better protection. This is the last armor in the Iron Husk category, and it provides massive protection against explosives.

This might not be viable in some areas where enemies use weapons like Ballista and Culverin. That said, I consider it the best basic armor for protection against explosives in Skull and Bones. 

If you want a basic armor that provides decent protection against flooding and piercing, you should go for La Forteresse 3. There are ships like Rammer and Hullbreaker that can apply flooding to your ship. So, if you are going against them, you would definitely need armor like La Forteresse 3.

Also, if the enemies are using Ballista and Culverin, you would also need protection against piercing. So, these things make La Forteresse 3 one of the best armors in Skull and Bones.

There are ships like Pyromaniac and Firebrand that can put your ship on fire. So, to prevent the fire damage, you would need protection against them, and the best basic armor for that in Skull and Bones is the Bastion 3. It provides great protection against fire and piercing, which makes it worth having on the list.

As mentioned before, Ballista and Culverin can do piercing damage, and most ships use them. So, the protection against them is necessary. Due to these points, I consider Bastion 3 the best armor for protection against fire and piercing.

If you have already reached Kingpin, I highly recommend getting the Kawaca 2 armor. This armor is great, even for the end game. It protects against three different damage types. Also, it is worth noting that the advanced and Exotic armor features perks that can strengthen your build even more.

This armor is ideal for the advanced class if you are facing ships like Rammer, Bullhorn, Pyromniac, and Firebrand. This covers four ships, arguably making it one of the best armors in Skull and Bones. 

If you are looking for an advanced armor that can help you turn the tides of battle, then Black Prince might be the best choice. Even though it doesn’t have well-balanced stats like Kawaca 2, it is still highly viable in combat. The overall armor value of Black Prince is considerably high, which makes it a good choice.

However, that isn’t why I consider it the best-advanced armor. I consider it the best due to its perk that helps you turn the tables while in combat. If you are in a dire situation and your ship’s health is below 33%, the perk will be activated, and the ship will take 50% less damage.  

The last and best armor on the list is Ouroboros in Skull and Bones. This armor leaves every other behind by a margin as it protects against the three major types of protection. It provides decent protection against any damage dealt by the perk of a ship. That makes it stand out, but it isn’t even the best thing about the armor.

It features two perks: Amalgamate and Restoration. The former restores 15% health while bracing, and the latter restores 100 severe damage every second. So, once you reach Kingpin 1 and want the best armor, then you must have Ouroboros.
