How to Use This Elden Ring Armor Database

Start with the searchable set grid if you know the armor family you want. Switch to the piece table when you need exact helm, chest, gauntlet or leg armor stats. This page is for armor stats and locations, not best-armor rankings.

Search by name or effect

Find Black Knife, Solitude, spell-boosting pieces or stealth armor without scanning the full list.

Filter by slot

Show helmets, chest armor, gauntlets or leg armor when you only need one equipment slot.

Sort by core stats

Order results by weight, poise, physical, magic, fire, lightning or holy negation.

Use tools for builds

Move to the equip load calculator or armor optimizer when you need a build-specific loadout.

Armor categories

Elden Ring Helmets, Chest Armor, Gauntlets and Leg Armor

Armor pieces are split into four equipment slots: helmets or helms, chest armor, gauntlets and leg armor or greaves. Use the slot filters above for a quick slice, or open the dedicated helmets database for headgear only.

Helmets

211

Head armor, including helmets, helms, masks and crowns with their own weight, poise and resistances.

Open helmets database →

Chest Armor

249

Torso armor usually carries the largest share of set weight, poise and damage negation.

Gauntlets

124

Hand armor pieces are light enough to fine-tune equip load while adding extra defenses.

Leg Armor

136

Leg armor and greaves complete the set and can change roll breakpoints when weight is tight.

Locations

Elden Ring Armor Locations

The armor table includes locations where they are available, so you can search by region, area or set name. Some armor pieces currently show general location names rather than full pickup walkthroughs; use the map when you want to plan a route.

Passive bonuses

Elden Ring Armor Sets with Special Effects

Some armor changes more than defense numbers. Use the passive effects filter to find armor that muffles movement, strengthens spell families or modifies damage. This page includes 32 armor sets and 63 armor pieces with special effects.

Stats guide

Understanding Elden Ring Armor Stats

Armor comparison starts with weight, poise, damage negation and resistances. The set view counts one main piece per slot, because altered variants and extra pieces can otherwise double-count a set. Switch to the piece table when you need exact stats for a single armor piece.

Weight

Weight counts toward equip load and affects light, medium and heavy roll thresholds. Use the weight filter when you already know your armor budget.

Poise

Poise helps resist stagger during enemy hits. Sorting by poise quickly surfaces heavier sets built for trading hits.

Damage Negation

Physical, strike, slash, pierce, magic, fire, lightning and holy values describe how much incoming damage that armor helps reduce.

Resistances

Immunity, robustness, focus and vitality help against status buildup. Open the piece table for the full resistance columns on individual armor pieces.

FAQ

Is this an Elden Ring armor sets database or an armor guide?+

This page is built for browsing, searching, filtering and comparing armor sets and individual armor pieces by stats, effects and locations.

Can I filter Elden Ring armor by weight and poise?+

Yes. Use the weight and poise range filters, then sort by weight, poise or a damage negation type to narrow the armor list for your build.

Does the database include Shadow of the Erdtree armor?+

Yes. Use the game filter to show all armor, base-game armor or Shadow of the Erdtree armor available on this page.

Can I find armor sets with passive effects?+

Yes. Turn on the passive effects filter to show armor sets and pieces with special bonuses, such as improved stealth or spell boosts.

Is this the armor optimizer or best armor guide?+

No. This page is the full armor database. For ranked sets and a tier list, open Best Armor. For the best combination inside a weight budget, open the Armor Optimizer.

Why do some armor sets have more than four pieces?+

Some sets include altered variants or extra pieces. Set totals count one main piece per slot for comparison, while the piece table keeps individual variants searchable.

What is the difference between armor sets and armor pieces?+

Armor sets group related pieces such as a helm, chest armor, gauntlets and greaves. Armor pieces are the individual items you equip in each slot, including altered variants when the data includes them.

Does heavier armor always have better defense?+

Heavier armor often has higher poise and stronger negation, but not always for every damage type. Compare weight against physical, magic, fire, lightning and holy negation before choosing a set.

Can I use this page to find armor locations?+

Yes. Search by armor name or use the table view to scan locations. Some entries currently show a general region or area instead of a step-by-step pickup route.
