Armor, and in extension, armor sets, have been evaluated based on their passives' ability to provide ample protection against enemy attacks and buffs that grant better chances of survival. The ease of mobility and stamina recovery were also taken into consideration.

Evaluation Criteria

Evaluation Reasoning
Passives Passives are the first consideration in this ranking. The more useful the passive, the higher value it has in our evaluation.
Armor Rating Light armor is generally lower on our tier lists as they provide the least amount of protection. Medium and Heavy armor are weighed in contrast to their passive's ability to ensure better survival.
