Suit you sir...
Dexterity is one of the most important statistics in the entireity of Dark Souls. It can open up the doors to the most fascinating of weaponry and the most unique of movesets. Getting the most from dexterity play throughs would also require the right armors. Below is a countdown to 5 sets of armor that promise the player the best dexterity have to offer.
5. Chester Set
While this is a DLC addition of a character, so memorable are Chester and his garbs, it had to make the list. Believed to be a nod and wink to FromSoftware’s development of Bloodborne at the time, Marvelous Chester is a gothic figure claiming to be lost in time travel. Should the player choose to slay this Lovecraftian looking NPC, his armor is yours along with some amazing resistances.
What makes Chester Set great:
- Offers nearly unmatched bleed resistance
- Considerable blunt damage resistance given its weight
- Light
- Bloodborne before Bloodborne!

4. Shadow Set
This pitch black stylish set can be found just a little through from the entrance to Blightttown. It’s described as light to open up the possibilities of martial arts to its user. Players looking to voyage through Lordran with a curved sword and its move set need look no further… Like enemies found wearing the shadow set, its defense is negligible to pure physical damage but its resistances are some of the best in game. A patient, stealthy style of play may suit this set.
What makes Shadow Set great:
- Strong bleed resistance
- Strong poison resistance
- Light
- Remarkable when buffed

3. Eastern Set
An armor found in a dark, treacherous garden by a cliff edge… is actually quite the thing of beauty. This is definitely one of the premier fashion souls items of the original game in what is a sturdy yet classy looking set. It holds its medium armor class promise of a reasonable and lighter weight, whilst holding reliable resistances for powerful enemy attacks. A set full of potential for builds and definitely worth a try for the hulking knights and sentinels patrolling Anor Londo.
What makes Eastern Set great:
- High resistance to slashing attacks
- Great physical resistance all round
- Solid for Anor Londo and Sentinel combat
- Reasonably weighted for reliable defense

2. Set of Favor
Another lavish looking armor that provides some very preferable advantages. The fine gold and finish of the set shouldn’t fool a player, its resistances to physical damage, particularly to thrust and slash damage are not to be laughed at. More than this, it also has a considerable resistance to fire coming at a respectable weight for its class. Should this god favored set take your interest, a corpse in a certain boss room can help you with that.
What makes Set of Favor great
- Great curse protection
- Great defense for slash and bleed
- Fashion-souls Gold
- Durability to keep you safe for time…

1. Gold-Hemmed Set
Easily the coolest armor for anyone considering a lighter build, offers great mobility and some fantastic resistances. The aesthetic alone will grab the player, there’s no more gothic or wraith-like armor available in the game. The list of resistances can carry a player through certain boss battles and areas, but for a dex player is a must to trail and certainly build from. One of the best found in Lordran, you’ll only need to stroll by a certain boss to find it…
What makes Gold-Hemmed Set great:
- Fire resistance
- Poison resistance
- Bleed resistance
- A lightweight wraith-like vision of hell….
