This article is about the '''armor''' that is used in the [[Assassin's Creed (series)|''Assassin's Creed'' series]].

==''[[Assassin's Creed]]''==
[[File:Altair_Ibn-La'Ahad.jpg|thumb|200px|Altaïr's plain robes.]]

In the first ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' game, Altaïr has light armor that consists of leather greaves, leather vambraces, and a leather belt. The vambrace on his left forearm has what appears to be metal plating, but it does not function as armor in the game and is likely only there for decorative purposes, for distinguishing a heightened status within the Assassin Order, or for concealing the [[Hidden Blade]]. Because Desmond loses synchronization with Altaïr whenever Altaïr is struck during combat, it is implied that Altaïr was never hit or wounded in armed conflict or during assassinations. This would be feasible, given Altaïr's capabilities as a warrior and his lineage ([[Those Who Came Before]]). Using the [[First Apple|Apple of Eden]], Altaïr created the [[Codex]] pages, as well as a new suit of armor for himself, one that was almost impossible to damage. This new armor would be passed down to each of Altaïr's descendants, eventually being hidden away beneath the [[Villa Auditore]].

===Other characters===
Armor does appear on other characters in the game, and there are differences in the styles worn by guards in each city. The guards in [[Damascus]] can be found in either lamellar, leather, or ringmail armor. Guards in [[Acre]] can be found in brigantine armor and chain mail, some complete with coifs. Guards in [[Jerusalem]] are often found wearing scale or splintmail. Each of these guard types can be found in the [[Kingdom]] near their respective cities. The [[Knights Templar]] uniformly wear full suits of chain mail covered in a white tabbard with a red steel helm covering their face. Most (if not all) of the knights Templar wear their signature red cross openly, whereas future Templars bear the cross symbol more subtly.

==''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''==

[[Ezio]] can purchase different types of armor from [[Blacksmith|blacksmiths]] found throughout the game's various cities. There are five sets of armor that can be purchased, each with four individual pieces, namely chest plates, greaves, spaulders, and vambraces.

Leather Armor is the first available armor and provides health bonuses, but no resistance bonuses. Later, Ezio can purchase 'Helmschmied', a variant of leather with metal inlays, 'metal armor' and 'Missaglias', a stylized set of 'metal armor'. Every armor after the leather set offers health bonuses and resistance bonuses. Armor can be damaged through combat or by falling from buildings, so it is necessary to repair it at blacksmiths regularly. Each armor has a set number of circles that it can resist. In general, twenty squares of combat or falling damage to your synch bar will remove one circle of resistance from every piece of armor you have equipped.

The player is also able to unlock a unique and special set of armor, referred to as [[Altaïr's Armor]], by collecting [[Assassin's Seal]]s from different Assassins' Tombs. After finding and placing all 6 seals in the [[Sanctuary]], Ezio unlocks the armor of his ancestor. It consists of black clothing, with specially made armor integrated into it, akin to the mythical properties of the Golden Fleece. As such, the armor never needs to be repaired. When [[Tailors|dyed]] by the player, all that changes is the inside color of the armor. Page 19 of [[Codex|Altaïr's Codex]] reveals that this, the only suit made, was owned and/or created by Altaïr, who destroyed the written formula out of fear of the armor becoming widely used, either by friend or foe alike.

===Other characters===
All types of soldiers in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' are armored to varying degrees, with [[archers]] as the lightest, followed by [[Agiles]], [[Guards|regular soldiers]], [[Seekers]], and [[Brutes]]. Elite soldiers wear heavier armor than regular soldiers, making them more resistant to Ezio's attacks and counter-attacks. [[Brutes]] in particular can only be killed or damaged after a disarm, or with the hidden blade.

==''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''==
[[File:Ezio_is_new_look.png|thumb|left|94px|Ezio's plain Assassin robes.]]
At the start of ''Brotherhood'', Ezio loses the Armor of Altaïr, forcing him to run into battle clothed in a simple shirt, pants, and boots. Later on in Rome, Ezio's new robes and armor are seen. Ezio's newer attire resembles the clothes of Altaïr, with longer robes and a longer hood. However, the only protective part of this armor are the Roman-styled vambraces and his spaulder, both of which appear to be metal.

[[File:Romulus_Armor.jpg|thumb|The Armor of Brutus.]]
According to a gameplay video in the wiki page ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', Ezio will be able to purchase armor upgrades, just like ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''. When Ezio completes the [[Sons of Romulus Lairs]], he can equip the [[Armor of Brutus]], though no other, specific information has been released.

In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', at the end of [http://assassinscreed.uk.ubi.com/brotherhood/#/videos/Video/8000 Dev Diary #02](exactly 4 minutes in) Ezio is seen wearing the Armor of Altaïr while fighting [[Cesare Borgia]]. The Armor of Altaïr is available from Uplay for 20 Uplay units, though purely cosmetic.

Standard armour:

*Roman Pauldron

*Roman Chestplate

*Roman Greeves

*Roman Vambraces

As a bonus for pre-ordering the ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' collector's edition from Amazon.com, players can receive a highly stylized armor known as the [[Helmschmied Drachen Armor]]. The armor is only a cosmetic one, and does not add any bonuses to blocking or to health.Other armor like leather can be worn at the same time however Ezio will not look any different. The Outfit is actually Black and Red with Silver Armor in game.

{{quote|More than a mere tool, his Hammer defines the Blacksmith. He hits it hard against huge pieces of metal, making a strong and powerful sound. The Blacksmith uses the same gestures to smash his targets' heads. Funny, he often muses, the sound is quite different then...|Ubisoft Description}}
