| “ | Armour forged in the raging fashion of the Greek God of War. | ” |
–In-game description | ||
The Armor of Ares Set is an armor set found in God of War: Ragnarök. It was made available with the New Game+ update, and is a modified version of the set from God of War (2018). It is available for purchase after first arriving at Sindri's House and gaining access to the Huldra Brothers’ shop in NG+.
The armor’s skill, Rage of Ares, gives Kratos’s Spartan Rage attacks a chance to drop Healthstones, which also grant a boost to Rage. Additionally, all stones will create bigger explosions when crushed. The Armor focuses primarily on Strength and Defense, as well as a lesser but balanced increase to Vitality and Luck.
