RELATED: Gotham Knights Couldn’t Escape Batman’s Shadow
As one of the core gameplay elements of Gotham Knights, players need to be aware of the best armor available to them and what they should craft to begin their tough journey through Gotham City. For as they know, Gotham City is lawless, and without Batman, things can only get worse.
8 High Ultimate Suit (Red Hood)
Patience is a virtue, and at level 40, that patience is certainly rewarded with the High Ultimate Suit. By crafting this suit for Red Hood, players will evolve to the next stage of his character development and become the hero for Gotham City that Batman always knew Jason Todd could be. This High Ultimate Suit certainly deserves its name for its abilities.
The payoff for the High Ultimate Suit is that it allows Red Hood to have increased damage after using a Knighthood ability. Not only will players be granted increased damage output, but they will also be given a surge of health to make sure that they don’t end up dead. The inclusion of three suit mods is a great bonus too.
7 Gold Armor (Red Hood)
When it comes to Gotham Knights, tactics can’t always be “run in and punch stuff.” The Gold Armor blueprint will allow Red Hood players to prioritize the cryogenic element. Considering the game has five elements to choose from, the cryogenic one is vastly powerful for its ability to freeze enemies and damage them in the cold.
This armor allows players to deal more cryogenic damage than normal abilities would allow for and therefore adds to the factor of freeze elemental damage to the game. Players should always be experimenting with different elements in Gotham Knights and the Gold Armor will help Red Hood players to do that.
6 Counter-Talon Suit (Batgirl)
Rather early in the game, players will be able to craft the Counter-Talon Suit. This is pretty important for story-related reasons, as Talons are a group of almost brainless assassins that are led by the Court of Owls to do their dirty work. The rich and powerful in Gotham Knights don’t want their dark and mysterious cult to be unveiled. Therefore, the Counter-Talon Suit is a canon reason why Batgirl can stand so strong against their forces.
Not only is the name cool, but the rewards for this suit are also great. Although it does not have any particular perks to give it an advantage, it grants a great addition to a defense that other suits lack. The Counter-Talon Suit gives a few hundred defenses, and even a few hundred health, meaning Barbara Gordon’s Batgirl can be a tank in the Gotham war.
5 Cryogenic Suit (Batgirl)
Nobody likes to be cold, and considering Mr. Freeze loves the idea of an ice age, Batgirl players will want to craft the Cryogenic Suit as soon as they can. This blueprint will be vital for the side quest that involves Mr. Freeze, a fun, lengthy, and deep side quest for one of Batman’s best villains.
By using the Cryogenic Suit, players will have an increased resistance to cryogenic elemental damage. This means that both the damage and the build-up will be reduced so that players that are encountering the harsh weather and the chill of Mr. Freeze will survive better.
4 Reinforced Suit (Nightwing)
This legendary armor suit makes it so that Nightwing heals over time after knocking out an enemy. Considering players in Gotham Knights will be outnumbered in the majority of their fights, this will ensure that they will always have that added health to help them out.

The Reinforced Suit also boasts an incredible defense, making it the perfect choice for Nightwing players as he progresses through the game. It becomes particularly useful later on as he starts encountering more enemies and challenging villains that are a threat to Gotham City.
3 Shadowbuster Suit (Nightwing)
The Shadowbuster Suit is certainly one of the best armor suits for the early game. Although it only features one mod slot, the fact that it has the potential to reach well over 1,000 health means that Nightwing players will be leaping around the battlefield with the power of a tank.
It’s a great and early unlockable set of armor for Gotham Knights, and players will not need to wait for the max level in Gotham Knights to unlock and utilize the Shadbowbuster Suit. When it comes to the best armor in Gotham Knights, players could definitely do a lot worse.
2 Linked Suit (Robin)
Mods are important to suits of armor. It’s an essential part of the gearing process in Gotham Knights and helps to keep the gear of the characters individual and unique to each playthrough. The Linked Suit gives players three mod slots, with plenty of useful abilities to the suit.
With the Linked Suit, Robin players are granted the stat bonuses of Counterstrike Protection, Revived Stalwart, and Ultimate Power. This means that Robin will not be injured on the next hit he takes as long as he knocks an enemy out with a perfect attack. He will also be granted health after a revive and increased damage output after an ultimate ability.
1 Heroic Suit (Robin)
This suit is certainly heroic and is great for early and mid-game runs of Gotham Knights. Everyone wants XP in video games, as there’s a great reward to experience. Whether that’s combat, collectibles, or missions. Each level grants new gear as well as more skills for the characters, and the Heroic Suit will offer more XP for the player whilst they wear it.
Not only do players gain a little extra XP for their characters, but it also has a modchip slot, meaning that players can make the armor useful beyond just XP. With the right setup, they will be able to deal more damage or have increased health or defense when needed.
Gotham Knights is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
