Santa Monica's God Of War sequel/reboot surprised just about everyone when it released. Instead of a linear hack and slash title, this new entry offers a huge amount of exploration and RPG elements. The simple to learn, yet difficult to master, combat has so much depth that's not initially revealed on the surface.
Oᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚne aspect that players loved about the game was its variety of builds and customization. Kratos is now able to equip specific armor pieces, each with its own stats and bonus perks. Some of these sets can be quite the challenge to obtain, but the rewards are well worth the effort. Here are the best armor sets that will make you a god (pun intended) in the game.
Updated May 16, 2022 by Charlene Teressa: Even today, 2018's God of War continues to do justice to the God of War franchise as a whole. With its memorable, heart-wrenching storyline and exploration into the Kratos's relationship with his new son Atreus, God of War: Ragnarok is sure to be worth the wait. For now, we feel it would be remiss not to add a few more impeccable armour sets to the list.
20 Cod Of War ꦍ 🌠

Unlike all the other armour sets on this list, the Cod of War armour set is only attainable during New Game Plus. As you can tell by the names of the skills ascribed to this set, such as 'Big Splash' and 'Cry Haddock', the game developers are poking fun at cod fishes. Even from the colour and texture of this armour set, it clearly resembles a cod.
Despite the amusing names, this armour's skill set and stats are a force to be reckoned with. Cod of War grants Kratos an additional protective shield and the ability to inflict devastating icy explosions, which only grow in strength with every upgrade. So if you're finished with the game and would like to start a new journey, you should definitely try out this armour set.
19 Ivaldi's Endless Mist Set

If you're looking for an all-rounder, then Ivaldi's Endless Mist armour set's got you covered. With the boon of being able to withstand the Cursed Mist of Nilfheim, you should definitely consider donning this armour set should the need to go to Nilfheim arise.
But it does not end there, for this Ivaldi armour set also has the added benefit of the 'Regenerating Essence' skill that allows you to slowly replenish your health bar. All in all, this armour set increases all of your stats and is one to look out for during your gameplay.
18 Ivaldi's Cursed Mist Set

Yet another iteration of Ivaldi's armour, the Cursed Mist set also gives you a boost of resistance against the noxious mist that chokes Nilfheim. The 'Regenerating Essence' skill is also embedded in this armour, so don't worry about sacrificing this skill if you're thinking of going for the Cursed Mist set instead of the Endless Mist set.
Although its defence is 48 points lower than the Endless Mist set, the Cursed Mist set differs in that it raises your runic and strength stats. So if you think the latter is something that's preferable to you, then this armour is it.
17 ꦏ Vigour Set

Another all-rounder, the Vigour Set raises your health and defence stats, as well as damage output. With glistening black-gold colours, this badass, yet elegant armour has a decent defence that really symbolises and refines the brute warrior K🅘ratos is. It definitely allows you to vanquish your foes in sꦍtyle.
16 ꩲ Arcane Miꦛght Set

More focused on runic and strength stats, the Arcane Might set is a decent set of stylish armour that Kratos could don. Despite its lowered stats compared to the other armour sets on this list, it is a well-done armour set for those who are mid-level and rampingꦡ up ꦺfor epic or perfect rarity armours.
15 Clarity Set �⛄�
The Clarity Set is a legendary armor set that is composed of the Mythic Pauldrons of Clarity, Mythic Bracers of Clarity, and the Mythic War Belt Guard. They're all made out of reinforced steel, and they favor cooldown states, as well as strength and defense.

14 🐈 ꦯ Blazing Magma Set

13 Legendary Sharpshooter Ga♈rb
It's not just Kratos that can wear awesome armor in the game; you'll also want to find the various legendary armor available for Atreus to keep him safe and protected.
This version of the Sharpshooter Garb is pretty much the same as the one that comes before it except that it cuts down significantly on the recharge time, which is helpful since you'll be able to reload faster and shoot off more arrows. It also allows you to do more damage in the long run. It'll be very helpful to you when Atreus can move fast and shoot even faster.
12 True Warrior Set 🐠
The True Warrior Set is one of the best armors in the game, and it looks fantastic on Kratos. It is one of those armors that seems to personify all of his most fierce attributes. It has three different compo🍨nents, each one made out of dwarven-forged metal and embedded with ogre teeth.
