Mortal Online 2 Best Armor for Melee Fighters

Here is the Mortal Online 2 BEST Armour for melee fighter builds. There are many things to consider when deciding what armour to choose in Mortal Online 2, so lets go over everything from weight, defence, armor type and materials. Also bear in mind different classes have different armor limits, but everyone will be able to wear most of these.

How Armor Defence Works

Before we get into the best material, its important to understand how the different armor types impact the defence of the armor. Armor in Mortal Online 2 has 3 difference defences as follows.

Blunt: Defence from blunt weapons (hammers, mauls and axes).
Piercing: Defence from piercing weapons and thrust attacks (spears, sword and dagger stabs and arrows).
Slashing: Defence from slashing weapons and weapon slashes (Swords)

Therefore you want to try and find a balance between all of the above, or find what works best for the area you’re in. If you’re finding yourself fighting people with swords constantly, go for high slashing defence armor. If you’re getting a lot of problems with archers, go for high piercing defence.

Best Armor in Mortal Online 2

And each different armor type gives different stats. When we compare the 4 main armor types in Mortal Online 2, each have significant advantages and disadvantages over the difference defences. See below a comparison of reptile and guard fur armour from the 4 different armor types:

Mercenary Plate
Tindremic Knight
Dragonia Armatus
Risar Soldier

Based on the above summary from mortal online 2 workbench we can see that Draconia gives extremely high piercing defence, wheras the Risar Soldier armor has very high blunt is weaker in other areas.

The overall most well rounded gear type and the one we would recommend would be Tindremic Knight, as it gives high blunt and slashing resistance. In general the meta right now is mostly slashing and blunt weapons, such as swords and hammers, so tindremic knight armor will give you the best overall defence bonuses

Mortal Online 2 Best Armor Materials

So we’ve gone over the best armor type, but lets talk about the best materials to make footie armor out of. Materials decide the weight and defence of the armour, with leathers and silks being the weakest and metals and animal carapace being the strongest. Also, if you’re a new player check out this butchery guide to see what animals all of these materials come from.

Best Early Game Armor

When looking at early game armour, you can find very sturdy armour above 40 defence that are both easy to craft or cheap to afford on the broker. The following are very popular options for starter armour, and see below their blunt, pierce and slash defence for each type of armor.

Molarium with Fullgrain Leather padding: This is dental tissue and leather butchered from weaker animals around the map.
Ironbone with Ground Fur padding: Ironbone can be obtained from razorbacks as stronger earlier game armour

Best Mid Range Armor

Once you start making some money and learn combat its time to upgrade to some more durable gear that will hold out against steel weapons. The Mortal Online 2 best armor for mid game is usually some form of heavy carapace. Depending on your area, you may be able to get these easier and some of them are very strong.

Arthropod Carapace with Guard Fur padding: You can obtain Arthropod carapace from spiders which are in caves around the world. And the backing with guard fur from either bears or dire wolves.
Reptile Carapace with Guard Fur padding: You can obtain reptile carapace from turtles either from the jungle or by fishing up.
Pansar Carapace with Guard Fur padding: You can obtain pansar carapace from Tagmatons near Meduli.

Best End Game Armor

The best end game armor for most situations in Mortal Online 2 is Steel. Steel is the standard armor for large team fights and siege combat. Only a select few guilds use cronite or other expensive metals, so here here is the best end game armor that you should get comfortable crafting or using.

Steel is crafted by mining and refining, and then the best backing, ironfur comes from trolls. So this is very advanced and endgame gear, but has incredibly high stats.

Hopefully this helps you get an idea of how to make good gear depending on how far along in the game you are.
