There are many armors in SkyBlock, but not every single armor is useful. This guide listed the armors you should buy and use in very early to end game.

• For late/end game players and players who have a lot of knowledge about the game, you have the ability to select the most suitable armor for yourself!

General

Status	Armor	Requirements	Notes
First Set		None	The crafting recipe for the farm suit can be obtained at wheat collection III, and is absolutely the first set you should obtain.
		None	Easy to buy from the fish merchant for next to nothing. It can help for players who enjoy fishing, as well as being cheap α Sea Creature Chance for bingo players. Other than the angler equipment, which has no competition at this point in the game, this armor set is usually not worth it if you already have farm suit.
Beginner		Mining 5	This set is nice for new players wishing to level up mining and can be easy to obtain for certain bingo goals, but most players can obtain cheaper armor for earlygame.
		Combat 3	The Rosetta's armor set costs 4,530 coins at Rosetta after obtaining  Combat 3, although it is recommended to also obtain  Enchanting 5 to gain the full benefits of growth, which can easily be done by enchanting something such as an  Undead Sword.
			Glacite Armor is the best armor set for beginners, being easy to obtain for both ironman and normal players. Early-game ironman players may find it hard to kill Ice Walkers, but they can be killed in a single hit by a pickaxe. Non-ironman players can easily obtain the armor on the Auction House by saving up some coins.
Early Game		Combat 12	Ender Armor is the best combat armor for this stage of the game, especially when combined with the  Void Sword, providing for an earlygame powerhouse and easily granting enough damage to kill most creatures on the End Island. It being soulbound means you may have to grind the armor pieces manually, but it is well worth it for 90% of combat players.
Mid-Early Game		Combat 16	Don't use this armor set unless you plan on playing as tank in Dungeons.
		Combat 16	Cheap legendary armor that actually boosts your ❁ Damage. The full set bonus isn't very useful, but the ☣ Crit Chance and ☠ Crit Damage bonuses are extremely helpful for this stage in the game
Late-Early Game		Combat 16(Spider Slayer IV, if the Tarantula Helmet is used.)	Unless your primary weapon is still the  Aspect of the End, you should consider switching some armor pieces out for pieces of  Unstable Dragon Armor and/or use a  Tarantula Helmet, which can help balance ❁ Strength and ☠ Crit Damage and result in higher damage overall, or save some coins as they are often a lot cheaper.
		Combat 22 and Basic Tier Kuudra completion	If you do not plan on doing dungeons, or if you wish to focus on out-of-dungeon combat, it is recommended to acquire this armor set early to slowly upgrade it over the course of your playtime as it is the best melee armor set for out-of-dungeon melee combat for now. However, this armor set is practically useless inside dungeons after the first floor. The helmet should be replaced by a  Tarantula Helmet if you have one for now.
Transition Note			It is possible to transition straight from Unstable Dragon Armor to Shadow Assassin, via using various sets in dungeons, and possibly some other sets for other game elements, such as slayers and dungeons.
Early-Mid Game		Floor 5 Completion	With this armor set, the chestplate is not necessary due to its high cost relative to the rest of this armor set. A Legendary  Zombie Knight Chestplate or a  Skeleton Master Chestplate dropped from floor 5 or 6 is a good alternative for those who cannot afford the full set. The  Tarantula Helmet is still a good alternative helmet outside dungeons. Remember to star your armor using  Livid Fragments for additional stats and a rarity upgrade.
Mid Game		Floor VII Completion, Spider Slayer IV	This is essential for any player and Berserk class player. As it not only provides great ❈ Defense and ❤ Health, but also a great amount of ❁ Damage. If you can afford it, you can upgrade your  Tarantula Helmet into a  Primordial Helmet at this point, and many may choose to select  Maxor's Boots for additional in-dungeons speed and additional ☠ Crit Damage for more balance.
		Combat 22	A great alternative to the  Necron's Armor, albeit much more expensive and relies on the  Blaze Pet. However, it is extremely potent as an armor set that has defied power creep since its inception, being viable even over  Burning Crimson Armor for Crimson Isle content. Use this armor if you either prefer the ice aesthetic, have a lot of spare money from non-combat money making methods such as Farming or Mining, or if you want to use its full set bonus for Loot Sharing with Fishing content.
Later-Mid Game		Floor VII Completion, Zombie Slayer VIII	This is essential for any player and Berserk class player. As it not only provides great ❈ Defense and ❤ Health, but also a great amount of ❁ Damage. The  Warden Helmet, though rather expensive, has the highest damage bonus of any armor piece and is rather important for most late-game combat, especially for the Crimson Isle and high-tier slayers. However, many players may prefer to use the  Primordial Helmet or the  Crown of Avarice over it due to the lack of a speed penalty.
Late-Game		Infernal Tier Kuudra Completion, Combat Level 47	This set is the best ❁ Damage set in the game due to the Dominus set ability. It provides very high ❤ Health and high ❈ Defense, and a very high amount of ❁ Strength and ☠ Crit Damage. The Dominus ability grants Ⓢ Swing Range, at tiers Burning and above gives extra ⫽ Ferocity, and at Infernal tier, gives an additive +10% ❁ Damage. It is a must-have for any task that requires high damage. However, some players may choose the  Warden Helmet for the similar damage and lower cost compared to an infernal helmet.
Late-Game		Infernal Tier Kuudra Completion, Combat Level 47	This set is the best ✎ Intelligence set in the game, giving 1424 ✎ Intelligence, 274 more than Storm's Armor. It provides very high ❤ Health and high ❈ Defense, along with 40 ๑ Ability Damage. The set bonus Arcane Energy gives the wearer the ability to gain Arcane Energy, and at 10 Arcane Energy, they can sneak to fire homing missiles, firing more the higher tier the armor is. It is a must-have for any task that requires ✎ Intelligence or ๑ Ability Damage. The  Wither Goggles is a less expensive alternative helmet that provides similar ๑ Ability Damage at a much lower cost.

Dungeons

Floor	Armor	Requirements	Notes
Floor I		Combat 16	The Unstable Dragon Armor set provide a decent balance of ❤ Health, ❈ Defense and ❁ Damage, making it viable for lower floors, (and outside of dungeons) such as The Entrance, and Floor I. Its low requirements, being only 1  Combat level higher then the requirements for entering dungeons, combined with its low price makes it a great option for starting off.
Floor II		Combat 16	See above
		Combat 16	This armor set has slightly higher damage output than  Unstable Dragon Armor, and is generally a better pick.
Floor III		Combat 20	You are not affording this armor set for floor 3. If you can afford it, buy carries up to floor 5 and use  Shadow Assassin Armor instead.
		Floor III Completion	Full  Adaptive Armor, along with the  Adaptive Belt, are a great option for every class. Using  Scarf Fragments to star the armor is recommended.
Floor IV		Floor III Completion	See above
Floor V & Floor VI		Floor V Completion	Remember to star your armor using  Livid Fragments for additional stats and a rarity upgrade. A high quality  Zombie Knight Chestplate or  Skeleton Master Chestplate can be used as a budget alternative to the expensive chestplate for Berserk and Archer players respectively.
		Floor VI Completion	Necromancer Lord Armor is a great armor set for Mages and Tanks for this stage. The  Necromancer Lord Helmet should not be used at all due to better alternatives for both classes. Mages should choose the  Wither Goggles, while tanks should go for a  Reaper Mask to boost their survivability.
Floor VII		Floor VII Completion	The recommended armor sets provide the greatest amount of ❤ Health, ❈ Defense, ❁ Damage and ✎ Intelligence out of all the Dungeon Armor sets.  Necron's Armor is best for Berserk and Archer players,  Storm's Armor is best for Mage players, and  Goldor's Armor is best for Tank players. Due to the lackluster full set bonus, it is recommended to replace the helmet with either  Wither Goggles for  Storm's Armor,  Reaper Mask for  Goldor's Armor, or  Primordial Helmet or  Golden Necron Head if it's  Necron's Armor. For both Mages and Tanks, the boots can be replaced by Tier 13  Perfect Boots for additional ❈ Defense.

Slayer

Revenant Horror

Tier	Armor	Requirements	Notes
Tier I	Any		Let's be honest you can probably solo a T1 rev in no armor, it's basically just a zombie with slightly more HP, only way you're going to fail is if you let it into the village
Tier II
Tier III		Combat XVI
Tier IV		Combat XVI
		Wolf Slayer IV	This armor works surprisingly well against the Revenant Tier IV since the lifesteal rework as the absence of ❈ Defense makes the Revenant armor penetration useless (25%) and the percentage healing is extremely efficient with the high ❤ Health potential of the armor. Furthermore this armor is very good against Sven as well so you should consider killing 2 birds with one stone and buy this armor. Combine with the  Pooch Sword to deal actual damage.
		Floor V Completion
Tier V		Floor VII Completion	This is a great armor to slay the Tier V Revenant Horror, as it provides a great amount of ❈ Defense, ❤ Health and ❁ Damage.
		Zombie Slayer VII	Armor specialized for Revenants, along with a generically good helmet for damage.
		Zombie Slayer VIII	Best damage set for Revenants.

Tarantula Broodfather

Tier	Armor	Requirements	Notes
Tier I	Any		You killed a T2 rev, you can kill a T1 tara no problem
Tier II			Ender Armor along with a  Void Sword can easily kill a Tier 2 Tarantula. If you use any other weapon,  Glacite Armor is slightly better.
Tier III		Combat XVI	Use a shortbow to destroy the egg sacs during invulnerability phases.
Tier IV		Spider Slayer IV	This set is recommended for beating the Tier IV Tarantula Broodfather, as it has good abilities, counters anti-healing, and even has a Double Jump if you can't aim your shortbow at the egg sacs. In addition, players gain more ❈ Defense depending on how many spider kills they have with the armor, which can prove useful for early game players with low survivability.
		Combat XVI	Damage set, deals more damage and is recommended if you can survive without full  Tarantula Armor
		Floor V / Floor VII Completion	Damage set, deals more damage and is recommended if you can survive without full  Tarantula Armor
Tier V		Spider Slayer IV	Same as Tier IV, but much more important due to the much stronger anti-heal effect of a Tier 5 Tarantula
		Spider Slayer VII	Upgrade over Tarantula armor better in every way. Once you can easily survive even without their effects, you may replace pieces with  Sorrow Armor for more ✯ Magic Find, starting with the leggings and boots.

Sven Packmaster

Tier	Armor	Requirements	Notes
Tier I	Any		Once again, you killed a T2 Tarantula, you can kill a T1 Sven
Tier II			Ender Armor along with a  Void Sword can easily kill a Tier 2 Sven. If you use any other weapon,  Glacite Armor is slightly better.
Tier III		Combat XVI	You can use the water found in most sven areas if you have trouble consistently hitting the slayer boss, as it heavily slows down when you lure it into water. Making use of  Ghost Shards and  Tortoise Shards for additional ❂ True Defense is recommended if you struggle to survive.
Tier IV		Wolf Slayer IV	Due to this armor's high health, the Sven's true damage isn't as dangerous. For many people, especially ironman and less experienced players, this is the only Armor in which they can consistently do Tier 4 Svens in.
		Floor V / VII Completion	Using a damage set is great if you can survive without  Mastiff Armor and want faster kills, as the  Pooch Sword may have trouble keeping up with stronger weapons. Making use of  Ghost Shards and  Tortoise Shards for additional ❂ True Defense is recommended if you struggle to survive.
Best Armor Set			The extra ✯ Magic Find will add up over time and this set is definitely worth it for dedicated slayer grinders.

Voidgloom Seraph

Tier	Armor	Requirements	Notes
Tier I		Floor V Completion	Use a  Reaper Mask or  Revived Heart if you are struggling with survivability. If you are not an Ironman player,  Kraken Shards are another way of boosting your healing, and necromancy items such as the  Necromancer Sword can help you survive the 'Hits' phase without being forced to tank extra damage.
Tier II		Floor VII Completion
		Combat 22 and Basic Tier Kuudra completion
Tier III		Enderman Slayer IV	The ability "Enderman Bulwark" allows for more ❈ Defense based on the amount of kills the user has gained while wearing each piece of armor. The common consensus for this tier is to have all four pieces of Final Destination armor to have 5000 stored kills each. During hits phase, use summons if you struggle to survive.
Tier IV		Enderman Slayer IV	10k kills or higher is recommended at this stage. If you struggle to survive still, Refrigerate is a very helpful ultimate enchant. During hits phase, use summons if you struggle to survive.
		Combat 22 and Burning Tier Kuudra completion Zombie Slayer VIII	Use Refrigerate or  Final Destination Armor if you struggle to survive outside hits phase. During hits phase, use summons if you struggle to survive.
