Assassin’s Creed Valhalla leads the race of producing high-quality and aesthetically pleasing armors. The game uses five parameters for each armor, namely armor, evasion, light resistance, heavy resistance, and weight, to enable comparison. And, players can upgrade them at the blacksmith’s using resources.
However, with so many types of them in the game buried in various locations, finding the armors can be a challenging task. There are three types of armor sets in AC Valhalla:
- Raven-Aligned Sets: Raven armor set, Hidden Ones’ armor set, Magister’s armor set, and Mentor’s armor set
- Bear-Aligned Sets: Brigandine armor set, Thegn’s armor set, and Thor’s armor set
- Wolf-Aligned Sets: Huntsman armor set, Galloglach armor set, and Arenhare’ko:wa armor set
Note: Each armor set in the game consists of a cloak, body armor, pants, bracers, and head protection.
1Raven Armor Set

10Arenhare’ko:wa Armor Set
The Arenhare’ko:wa armor is a Wolf-aligned set consisting of advanced-quality gear. However, it’s not upgradable and doesn’t possess a rune slot.
Moreover, unlike other armors, players can’t loot the Arenhare’ko:wa set from chests, nor can they win it as a reward by completing quests. Although, they can acquire it from traders in the market of Vinland.
Instead of purchasing the armor with silver, you’ve to trade it for resources such as iron ore, leather, and carbon ingots.
Surprisingly enough, when Eivor arrives in Vinland, he won’t be able to adorn any other armor apart from the Arenhare’ko:wa. But once he returns to England, players will lose it from the inventory, and Eivor will have to wear the set he was wearing before he entered Vinland.
