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 [[Armor of Altaïr|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]].

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.

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 able to unlock [[Armor of Altaïr|Altaïr's improved armor]] by collecting six [[Assassin seal]]s from the tombs of six different Assassins. 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.

[[Brutes]] in particular can only be killed or damaged after a disarm, or with the hidden blade.

At the start of ''Brotherhood'', Ezio loses the [[Armor of Altaïr]] during the seige of [[Monteriggioni]], forcing him to run into battle clothed in a simple shirt, trouses and boots. Later on in Rome, Ezio's new robes and armor are anonymously given to him by [[Machiavelli]]. Ezio's newer attire resembles the clothes of Altaïr, with longer robes and a longer hood. Ezio's outfit's armor comes only with a spaulder and a single vambrace. In the game, Ezio's initial new spaulder is leather, while the cover art depicts him wearing a metal spaulder. His new hidden blade bracer is the same as it is on the cover, as well as his hidden blade. But like the metal spaulder, Ezio's second hidden blade does not appear like the one on the cover. Instead, it is a brown glove like his original second hidden blade used in the Assassin's Creed II E3 Demo, and also on pre released AC II pictures. The Second blade is originally displayed as an identical blade and bracer as his primary blade and bracer. Vambraces for the second hidden blade can be bought at a blacksmith only when the The Second Hidden Blade is purchased from Leonardo, but none of the vambraces have the design of the bracer shown in the cover art.

Guards are armored similarly to as they were in ''Assassin's Creed II'', with the addition of the [[Papal guard]] as the most heavily armored opponents in the game. Of the new guard archetypes, the [[Crossbowmen]] are equal in defense to Archers, while [[Arquebusiers]] match standard guards.

When Ezio completes the first [[Lair of Romulus]], he is given the location of a treasure room. Once all Lairs have been completed, he can acquire and equip the [[Armor of Brutus]] along with the [[Dagger of Brutus]]. This armor, like the Armor of Altaïr, is unbreakable and rewards the most health out of any other armor set besides the Seusenhofer Armor. Like the Armor of Altaïr, this armor and its cape cannot be dyed.
 
 
 
 
 
As a bonus for pre-ordering the ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' collector's edition from Amazon.com or some other stores, 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 can be worn at the same time, however Ezio will not look any different. Altough the in-game info states that "very few men have proven strong enough to wear it", the activating of this skin won`t have any effect on Ezio`s climbing or free-running skills.

Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service?

This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style.

This article is about the armor that is used in the Assassin's Creed series.

Assassin's Creed

Altaïr's plain Assassin's robes as seen in Assassin's Creed.

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 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's plain Assassin's robes as seen in Assassin's Creed II.

Ezio can purchase different types of armor from 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 able to unlock Altaïr's improved armor by collecting six Assassin seals from the tombs of six different Assassins. 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 dyed by the player, all that changes is the inside color of the armor. Page 19 of 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, 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

Ezio's plain Assassin's robes as seen in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

At the start of Brotherhood, Ezio loses the Armor of Altaïr during the seige of Monteriggioni, forcing him to run into battle clothed in a simple shirt, trouses and boots. Later on in Rome, Ezio's new robes and armor are anonymously given to him by Machiavelli. Ezio's newer attire resembles the clothes of Altaïr, with longer robes and a longer hood. Ezio's outfit's armor comes only with a spaulder and a single vambrace. In the game, Ezio's initial new spaulder is leather, while the cover art depicts him wearing a metal spaulder. His new hidden blade bracer is the same as it is on the cover, as well as his hidden blade. But like the metal spaulder, Ezio's second hidden blade does not appear like the one on the cover. Instead, it is a brown glove like his original second hidden blade used in the Assassin's Creed II E3 Demo, and also on pre released AC II pictures. The Second blade is originally displayed as an identical blade and bracer as his primary blade and bracer. Vambraces for the second hidden blade can be bought at a blacksmith only when the The Second Hidden Blade is purchased from Leonardo, but none of the vambraces have the design of the bracer shown in the cover art.

Ezio will be able to purchase armor upgrades, just like in Assassin's Creed II, in a blacksmith shop. It is also possible to complete specific quests for the blacksmith shop on Tiber Island and unlock parts of the Seusenhoffer armor. Sets of armor that cannot be purchased in-game include the Armor of Brutus and the Helmschmied Drachen Armor.
