Best armor so far ?

[KAgeRO_XD]

I'm curious about your favorite armour in Jin Sakai's journey.

Mine would be the Sarugami armor from Iki Island DLC. It's very risky IF you don't know how to do perfect parry and dodge BUT you obtain great results after some training in open combats and duels.

I am using Travellers all the time

[Crimsomrider]

Sarugami is my favorite. Love parrying and dodging so much in this game ^^

[Jersku]

I primarily use the Sakai Clan Armor with a specific dye that makes it look so much better, otherwise I use either the Ronin or Traveler's Armor.

Sword saint is the best overall set, all set bonuses are worth it.

For me? Ronin's by far followed by the Archery Master’s Attire from pre-order bonus once you link account (it is basically Ishikawa's armor but the NG+ fully upgraded version available at the start of the game...).

Ronin when fully upgraded gives massive sword damage and is great for stealth by heavily reducing detection. Even better if you got some stealth detection related charms. Unless you are having issues taking damage, suck at swapping stances, and forget to use ghost weapons it is easily among the best for a very long time even late into the game. Arguably, the stagger armor later on might be better by sheer force of plowing through everything if not stealthing at all, but otherwise this remains among the best until the end of the game. Ghost is really strong, too, but terrify can actually cause issues later when stealthing and it is arguably more of a combatant armor than anything despite its stealth bonus.

Obviously, if you aren't good at dodging/parry this might only be good for you when stealthing then.

Archery Master's Attire, or Ishikawa's if you can't get the latter, make bows go from very powerful to this clearly isn't balanced anymore as you get the half bow upgraded, unlock the long bow, and get some arrow types. You can easily max out both bows on the first island and one, if not two armors, so even though Ishikawa's is a bit weaker it is still very powerful. There are some pretty insane archery related charms later, too, and environmental effects like bee hives = an instant kill even on Legion commanders (throw fire crackers to lure them to them then set it off). Fire arrows can spam stagger enemies, too. Plenty of other tactics as well. Overall, ranged weapons are really powerful in this game.

There is also a armor that lets you dress up as the enemy Legion commander and as long as you are walking you are basically camouflaged as one of them.

The best armor is the coolest looking one for you.

Disagree. Kensei set makes you look like an homeless man but it has best bonuses.

Honestly the bonuses are pretty minimal even at the best of times. You can go Traveler's set for the whole game pretty easy

Really dep[ends on your playstyle. My favorites are Sakai Clan Armor and Sensei Armor.

[Germaine's Bra]

Duel for the Kensei is fun for just for fighting and using Resolve abilities like crazy. It's really hard with it and the right charms to not have plenty of resolve.

in your case it "dep[ends" on your ability to search on google

Love using it with the wind kami's breath dye

kensei armor with the blue NG+ skin plus trickster fox mask has been one of my go to picks, and not even for the extra resolve gain, it just looked spot of nor me
