Horizon Forbidden West: Every Legendary Armor, Ranked

screenrant.com:

If players are going to survive the dangers and enemies of Horizon Forbidden West, it pays to know which legendary armor works best. Among the plethora of armors in the game, the six legendary armor sets are the pinnacle of combat and protection. Each armor set comes with skills that heavily depend on the player's style and build. Moreover, the armor sets add some immersion to the game, being both visually unique and attached to the lore of Forbidden West in some capacity.

One of the most significant changes in Horizon Forbidden West from Horizon Zero Dawn is the approach to armor and how it can apply to gameplay. While Zero Dawn had various armor sets ranging from light and heavy to adept and master, the priority was always stats with the highest numbers like the Shield-Weaver armor, which reappeared in Horizon Forbidden West, albeit in a powered-down state. While this approach streamlined the armor dynamic in Zero Dawn, it took away the opportunities to experiment with playstyles and the varying skills in each armor set.

Forbidden West would eventually convert Zero Dawn's armor system from stat dependent to a more playstyle-oriented gameplay loop. The Oseram Artificer armor is under the warrior category of playstyle and leans on the melee-centric players. On the other hand, the Tenakth Vanquisher set is categorized as a survivor armor set with skills that effectively put Aloy in what equates to a berserker rage. Each Legendary armor adds depth to the game and is a defining factor in the battle against the new machines in Horizon Forbidden West. Here is every legendary armor in the Forbidden West to save players time and resources.
