Ghost of Tsushima from Sucker Punch Productions is the newest game that focuses on samurais and feudal Japan, wherein players control Jin and travel through the island of Tsushima to beat the Mongol invaders.

The Best Armors for Jin

As with any other action-adventure and RPG games, one way to beat the enemies and the game itself is to find and equip the best equipment.

In Ghost of Tsushima, you can find around a dozen armor sets that would go well with your weapon to fend off the Mongol invaders' attacks and ensure your character doesn't die in the process.

YouTuber Kakuchopurei has listed down the armors that are available in the game, illustrating their design.

As Newsweek noted, not every armor works for every player. Like every other game, Ghost of Tsushima is about customizing Jin to your preference, so you'll want to inspect every armor set and choose one that complements your combat style.

Before anything else, you start with the Broken Armor set, described as a "Samurai Armor that has been damaged beyond repair" and has no advantages, but you'll have to make do with it before you can find an armor set that you can use.

What Armor Set Should You Use?

Nevertheless, the news outlet has given a few recommendations for the armor sets you can choose for the early and mid-game, late game, and post-game.

Here's what they have recommended (then again, you can follow their suggestion or choose which armor you believe best works for your version of Jin):

• Early and mid-game: Update the Samurai Clan Armor as it can help balance out the damage you'll get as you try to understand the game's combat system.
• Late game: The Ghost Armor is an excellent choice as it helps you stealthily take out enemies since it allows you to move smoothly around in the darkness. Just remember that it doesn't have enough defense buff, but it works great for offense.
• Post-game: The Mongol Commander Armor is perhaps the best armor with its perks, including damage reduction and health increase. The only problem is it's a little hard to get.
