Worn by Nords in ancient times, the Ancient Nord Armor is a heavy set that serves as a variant of the basic iron armor. Hopefully this can help you get a better idea of the stats, features, locations, and ultimately find whichever armor will suit you best. The designs in Skyrim don’t fall short and, in my opinion, are even better than the ones in TES’ previous installment.īut choosing the best heavy armor is no easy task so I’ve made this list of the best heavy armor sets in the game. Tamriel has some of the most beautiful sets of armor in the world, just as we saw in TES IV: Oblivion. And some sets of heavy armor can be accompanied by shields for a major boost! Especially for anyone who prefers prefer two-handed weapons.
So it’s fair to say heavy armor tends to be a warrior’s best friend.
Heavy armor sets all seem to be tailor-made for players who don’t mind moving a bit slower in exchange for a massive defensive bonus.
