The Best Light Armor Ranked in Skyrim

[@theWelshWizard]

What's your favourite Light Armor set, Wizards? 👇

[@Prak_Giggles]

not a set but the Locket of Saint Jiub is pretty nice

[@Capitano449]

Pleas make top 20 havy amor sets in skyrim

[@georgemcfadden680]

Glass armor is cool.

[@georgemcfadden680]

Nightingale makes me feel like a medieval batman, taking down criminals in the night, which is ironic if you think about its origin

[@georgemcfadden680]

Just watched the video and we both agree glass armor is the goat

Will wait patiently for Heavy Armor.

[@butwhataboutdragons7768]

Nordic Carved is my favorite of the base game. Black and silver is a nice combo, and all the fur is much appreciated in Skyrim. I also liked the Blades Armor a lot. Honestly after a decade of new modded armors and overhauls I barely remember any of the others though!

[@levelupavailable1710]

@@butwhataboutdragons7768 the Blades armor is one of my most favorite as well. It was very unfortunate when it wasn't as good of an armor in oblivion but I hear you can reach the armor cap (567) with any armor in Skyrim and that's a good!

[@liamdoyle2677]

Honorable Mention: Leather Scout Armor. Very practical with multiple pockets, fingerless gauntlets, light weight, a water bottle and a cool color scheme!

[@Joffie69]

Had to search the comments to see if anyone else mentioned this.. its my go to light armor in the first half of my playthrough. It just looks awesome! Its the same with the Silver armor for heavy!

[@Juicedbelmont]

It looks really great with spellbinding too

[@Orthane]

I don't care if you're a hardcore Imperial Loyalist, you can't argue about the Stormcloak Officer set being one of the coolest sets in Vanilla Skyrim.

[@GreatDezmundo]

Yeah but tullius's armor is great too

Thank you fine sir

[@oathkeeperofoblivion972]

Isn't it the same model as the thieves guild hood?

[@una1600]

Yeah, torturer's hood and thieves guild hood are the same model, theives guild hood just has an enchantment.

[@davidbjjkoran3563]

guild master hood 👋🏻

[@jonathanprince707]

I wish the Daedric Mail came with a head piece. Missed opportunity to include the Daedric Face Masks from Morrowind if you ask me. But CC content does leave a lot to be desired.

[@joshfournier8217]

i think i saw somewhere that the helm that comes with it counts as light armor for perks

[@makeshiftusec992]

Prob giving the player space for a priest mask or some other type shii

[@Seafarerpwns]

Blackguard armor you get from Glover's house is a chef's kiss.

[@inductivegrunt94]

Stalhrim armor will always be my favorite light armor set, mostly because of the mix of furs and ice together in a perfect combination. What can I say, I like the cold aesthetic it's got going for it.

[@RosheenQuynh]

Absolutely same!

[@kingsplex8974]

whenever I go to start a new heavy armor playthrough I remember the beauty of stalthrim and suddenly use light armor

[@TheAdaoo7]

Stahlrim over nightingale is wild

To each their own. I like it myself

[@themustachedfrenchman8696]

Thats debatable but glass as #1 is inexcuasable.

[@thebigyes8482]

@@RosheenQuynhThere’s nothing wrong with agreeing or disagreeing with someone’s opinion. You don’t need to keep replying the same shit.

[@NotWetCheese]

Tbh nightingale looks absolutely great but seeing as the armor always has an enchant and u can't get an unenchanted version without console commands

[@peger]

7:58 fun fact. if i recall in lore that's what most piece of armor was. A outer shell of Dwemer constructs use as a armor. A true dwemer armor supposed to be very rare. Ancient Falmer and Nightingale are my top piece of armor. Elven also look preaty nice.

[@BaldianOfIbelin]

I still think it's absolutely hilarious that all the "mail" armor either they do not have chain mail at all or at best it is never the main material of the armor

[@masterneloth]

Phenomenal as always! The Remnant Agent is the most colorful and beautiful and I’m happy they got where they were.

[@theWelshWizard]

Thanks man! Glad you agree 🧙‍♂️

[@TheRealW.S.Foster]

Although I've never played light armor-using builds that often, I can definitely say that my personal favorite armor was the Blackguard Armor from the Dragonborn DLC. For would-be thieves, it's practically vital because it offers the best enchantments that are geared for that playstyle, and it looks pretty good to boot. If I were to do a thief build right now, I know for sure that I'd roll with this armor, and I'd double down on it by pairing it with the Bow of Shadows; and although I'd love nothing more than to equip the Gray Cowl to make a Gray Fox character, I can't for the life of me get over its one major drawback, that being the instant hostility it triggers in guards.

[@shawnberry760]

This is my favorite series of all time. Anything Breton or Bosmer and I am in. Love your content.

[@Lesicko01]

The Amber armor made me think of a medieval Aquaman.

[@zacharymcvicker5820]

My favorite has always been the Nightingale Armor, but there are a few sets from the Creation Club I haven't used yet, like the Amber Armor, but I do gotta say that Stahlrim Light Armor looks freaking amazing

[@jacksonford7986]

The way you shoot and edit your videos is so goated dude I love it

[@significantgumption]

the nightingale armor set has always been top 3 overall for me, i don’t really use it but man does it look good.

[@facux18]

It is such a crime that the Ebony Mail is heavy armor lol Your videos are always so well put together, thanks for the awesome content!

[@lordreptilestormblade1749]

for revealing light armor sets, you have the forsworn set, and the dark seducer set. There is also the fur set but only one of the three variants of the torso piece is revealing.

The nightingale armor is the best light armor hands down...

[@opheliamoonrose4316]

I have another question, most esteemed wizard! How do you get your game so bright and shiny?? It's incredible!

[@aleistercaro7162]

I cannot see the Stalhrim armor without laughing because of the senile scribbles bit of " Alduin on Ice"

[@glowing_clod969]

I always grab the diadem of the savant when i go light armor since while looking like a circlet it counts as light armor.

Seriously what where they thinking when they designed the saints and seducers armor.. 😭

[@martabachynsky8545]

It's "cheesecake" armor on females. My husband likes to put it on Lydia. 🙄🤣

[@zacharyrichard8228]

1. Great work as always. It may be an opinion piece but this video is amazing all the same 2. I think the nightingale armor is the best for me, just cause i think it is the most cohesive set in the game and brings out my inner edge lord 3. Heavy armor next plz. I think heavy armor has some of the best designs in any medieval style video game

[@GOREilla.]

Imho including creation club items are undesired by many.

[@fabriziodefrancesco7083]

yeah, and "including" sounds euphemism out of twenty listed armors, EIGHT are CC ones 🤔..almost half...

[@Hari-Harmonies]

For me, the thing that stops me from wearing the elven armour is how chunky the gauntlets are. Hate that. Along with the thalmor themselves.

[@shivubu8008]

What graphical overhall are you using ? It makes evrrything look soo beautiful.

[@ArtyomMikitich]

7:17 - 7:21 You goodamn right! I continue my prolonged Skyrim playthrough and several weeks ago I found myself in simular situation - all armor feels like "skins" in multi-player games.

[@SilentPython284]

ive been searching far and wide for the best looking mod to make armour feel more realistic and yours is perfect, i love how it makes it feel much more layered and was wondering what your mod/mod load order for that was

[@AsterikTeenus]

Honestly I prefer the studded dragon scale over the original, it’s more conservative with the bone use and looks more flexible. It looks simpler, not overly designed, easier on the eyes in my opinion. Still don’t like the helmet on either tho.

[@kaiserzero1077]

I know it looks tacky but having the nightingale hood onto the vampire or thieves guild master cuirass is so good.

[@docireland]

I rock the Leather Scout Armor till I get the Nightengale armor. Easily upgradable and ligh5 enough to carry a couple extra hoods and gloves for specialized activities (alchemy, smithing, etc.)

[@otakuneko]

I'm a bit sad that Elven Hunter Armor wasn't on the list it's one of my favorite looking armor! The scratches and dents and the leather replacement and the red cloth around the waist i always pair it with a torturer's hood

[@silverwolf2761]

Awesome - would love a heavy version too.

[@JKrain02]

Mine is the Spell Knight Armor, I love the Iron version with it's yellow sash

[@illiaJ5622]

Justice for Dawnguard Armour! (not a fan of the helmet though, and I ususally don't run with shields)

[@cuckoophendula8211]

The glass armor on guy characters definitely looks great, but I unfortunately can't say the same about the female version :/

[@angelosusa4258]

I do agree with this list my personal favorites are crusader, nightingale and remnant

[@bananacraft69]

tbh I forgot glass armor existed. But how could you rate it higher than the nightingale armor?!

[@Prak_Giggles]

Just turned my awful day to amazing

[@Flood520]

Well, I'll never be able to unsee the Angry Bird elven helmet.

[@Bruh_Im_Dead]

Honestly, I really love the Remnant Agent armor set; but Nightingale is cool too.

[@nn-db4fw]

Cool video! Could you create a video of cool armor combinations including cloth parts? I am too lazy to do that myself, plus it would also be great to see what other people could come up with that I might have overlooked in the game. Don't think so much about the Armor Rating as it's no problem to reach Armor Rating cap with a single part from all armor types in the game, even one piece of the Fur Armor, legit.

[@CloudsGirl7]

This is all subjective, after all, but I say that the style of glass armor seen Morrowind looks better than that of Skyrim. (Typical. It takes Dunmer to fix what Altmer leave unfinished.) My personal favorites (from my rather vanilla experience) have always been dragonscale and scaled sets. Scaled gives a balance of ruggedness and comfort, as well as a nice Nordic motif, and the dragonscale armor... Well, yeah, look at it. 😆 For it, a dragon-slaying motif fitting of the Dragonborn, as well as more protection.

[@commandbuilder7688]

what mod pack/graphics mod are you using? it makes the armors look so gorgeous

[@theWelshWizard]

Linked in the description

[@scarx4181]

The studded dragonscale midsection looks more like it's supposed to brigandine than just leather to me.

[@TheOriginalCrypticArchives]

I kinda wish there was a light or heavy dragon priest armor that you could find. The armor we see them wear looks badass to me.

[@ElCrims]

You're very poetic with your similes and you have good taste. Well done.

[@RosheenQuynh]

I adore Stalhrim armor though I'm personally not a fan of any of the helmets in the game except for Dragonplate. And so that's what I wear 😅 I'd kill for a mod that Stalhrimifies the helmet!

[@Dunkelzeitgeist]

Damn I'm early, good to see you back and regular 😊

[@ms.blackfire2927]

my favourite armour is dwemer armor, I love gold, I love the dwemer, I love dwarves, so I would have to go with that but I do agree there's so many beautiful and awesome looking light armor and the glass armour does look pretty good, it used to be a favorite doing some of my earliest playthroughs when I was younger that? or the elf armour

I love glass armor and it looks great with the Krosis mask. Krosis had little green rust on it in older versions that matched almost perfectly with the glass armor's green and gold color. You did not include the hold guards armor? The Whiterun guard is iconic. 💛🐴

Should the bottle count decrease instead of increase to mark how much time left before this bit is over?

[@SSkk129]

I was able to get few sets of dragon armor, ebony armor, daedric armor by the time i got glass armor. It's not just as random loot, i haven't seen any merchant sell it. i got glass gaunlets and boots with different enchantments. Is Glass armor has such low rate?

[@TheSarkyGamer]

I like your videos, but was it really necessary to have 1/3 of the armour as CC gear? Personally, I'm an admirer of the Nightingale and Vampire sets, for sheer aesthetic.

[@duskbringer4583]

"Who would wear THAT." Me: Uhh... Yeeaaaah... Hahhaa... *Hides my Bosmer behind a bush.* (When I am not running Bosmer Armor mod.) ...That said sometimes, with how many I tend to find and it's high level, tend to give some followers for fun. ...Daedric Mail though is my favorite for my Dunmer, making my own custom Dark Brotherhood Armor fit for the Listener, along Torment.

[@Spinworth]

Interesting the robes you use for your player character, do you plan on sharing your modlist for the UI and lightning?

[@Dingus888]

I wish I could have the fall damage reduction on light armor. You can bypass or eliminate all the downsides of heavy armor pretty easily so I just stick with them for the game cuz of that

[@quetzalcoatl974]

Awwe. I wanted to know what you thought about the gold and dark armors. Good video though.

[@AVH8TOR]

I’ve been using Nightingale armor forever. Everytime I try something else I go back. That’s why I’m here lol. I never go with heavy armor because with the right smithing, and light armor perks you can easily max it out. Then it’s just as good as heavy armor, without all of the drawbacks.

[@Christina-g4s]

Nightingale armour is actually pretty terrible. One handed and lockpicking gauntlets, illusion hood muffle boots And stamina and frost chest piece. Outside of looking kinda cool it's enchantments don't suit a thief play style, or a rouge. Rubbish assassin garb.

[@biskaye]

My favorite light armor fashion wise is chitin

[@Mortvent]

Fashion side.. the forsworn and fur armors are very nice. Certain versions look good on females, and others look better on males. They might not be anything noticeable stat wise, but they do have a nice look to them

[@xenoplayz4524]

Glass is the best imo but another great looking light armor is the scout leather armor looks great on female characters early on in the game.

[@michaelp4387]

Imo heavy armor gets the best fashion. Nordic carved being my fav, daedric being second. However I think the majority of the helmets are ugly as hell, like the steel plate helmet, so I never use the full set. Instead I wear an enchanted circlet to show my character’s face.
