Quick Links
InDragon Age: The Veilguard, your success will largely depend on the gear you’ve equipped your character with. Armor plays a major role as is expected for a fantasy action-RPG. Each piece of armor will come with its own set of stats and bonus effects. In particular, there are two types of armor: chest pieces and helmets.
Weight Class
Both helmets and chest pieces are further divided into more categories. There are also three different weight classes of armor:
The specific weight class doesn’t have any bearing on your character’s mobility. Instead, the heavier the armor class, the more effective damage resistance you’ll receive. The trade-off is that Light armor offers better ability damage bonuses. So, the weight class will depend on which aspect you prefer to focus on - damage resistance or ability damage.
Transmogrification
Many times, games like Dragon Age: The Veilguard offer players a “transmog” system that allows them to change the appearance of their armor while maintaining the stats - you know, for those who really enjoy a specific visual styling of their character. Veilguard does indeed include a system known as “Robust” which fills this need. You can use Robust to alter the appearance of a companion’s armor as well.
