How Armor works in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Armor Sets in Assassin’s Creed Shadows consists of two gear pieces – an armor and a head piece. For Naoe, the armor pieces are light, for Yasuke – heavy. Naoe’s head piece is called Headgear and those are often various masks or hoods. Yasuke is wearing Helmets or Bands.
Character-specific inventory
Each character has their own unique selection of gear and you cannot mix and match them between Naoe and Yasuke.
Rarity Tiers
Each armor piece above common grade always comes with an engraving. The quality of items is defined by their level, which you can upgrade (costs resources) and rarity tier, which you cannot change.
The game makes an effort to match the gear you loot to your current level. The higher your level, the higher tier rarity items you will find. The top tier is Legendary.
What are Legendary Sets
Legendary sets are special piece of gear available only from a specific location or source, not as a random drop. They always come with a unique Legendary Engraving. Legendary armor parts usually have higher stats than the lower tiers, if compared at the same level.
How to change an item’s appearance
You can use the built-in Transmog feature to alter the appearance of any gear piece and replace it or parts of it with something else you own. This allows you to keep using lower-level gear that you outgrow quickly but love its appearance.
We have a thorough guide on how gear works in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which you can read for more in-depth overview and explanation of everything else you need to know. We also have a complete catalog of all Legendary sets available in the game.

Stats and Engravings
The Defense Master legendary set offers two interesting engravings proving bonuses to your dodge and parry moves.

How to get the Set
Both pieces of the Defense Master Legendary Set are available from legendary chests in castles in Harima.
Defense Master Headwrap Location
You will find the Defense Master Headwrap inside the legendary chest in the middle of Miki Castle, in Harima. This area is large and hosts 4 Samurai Daisho.
It is also rich in resources and has no tall buildings. It’s pretty open. A good territory for Yasuke to earn his new piece of gear.
Defense Master Clothing Location
You can loot the Defense Master Clothing from the legendary chest in Hemjei Castle, in southwestern Harima. There are 5 Samurai Daisho within the castle walls. The chest is in the keep.
