Dark Souls Three Wikia

Heavy Armor Sets are a type of equipment in Dark Souls III.

For categorization purposes, Heavy Armor Sets are armor sets in Dark Souls III that have a total weight of 30 or more units.

Characteristics[]

Heavy armor sets offer the highest damage absorption per capita in the game. Often times much higher than the damage absorption of light and medium sets.

While heavy sets provide high defense, they also encumber the player's character more, making the rolling animation much slower. The Ring of Favor and Havel's Ring can offset this effect as long as the player's total character weight is at 70.0% or lower.

Keep in mind that Dark Souls III uses a hidden integer in the thousandths place - meaning that even if the player's character is exactly at the 70.0% weight break-point, they may still retain the slower rolling animation. When planning the characters "load-out" it is recommended to stay below 69.9% to be cautious.
