–In-game description
The Champion's Blade and Armour are equipment that were originally exclusively awarded to any player that participated in the multiplayer beta of God of War: Ascension. Both were later made into DLC.
The Champion's Armour sports a gold breastplate, helmet, shin guards, and arm guard as well as a red kilt that is similar in style to Kratos'. The helmet has a large red and black plume arching over it and the warrior's face is completely covered. The entirety of the armor is similar in appearance to that of a legionnaire.

Blade[]
The Champion's Blade is a huge grey sword with the symbol of Sparta carved into the handle. The carving reads: ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς, that literally means: "Either with this or on this", which is a saying Spartan mothers told their children before they went to war, implying that they should come back home victorious, with his battle shield, or dead, with his body being carried on the shield.
