Highlights
- Lightning resistance is crucial in
Elden Ring
, especially against late-game enemies. Armor like the Mushroom Set and Preceptor’s Set offer strong protection. - Look out for armor sets like the Solitude Set and Gaius’s Set for top-tier lightning defense, making them essential for tackling tough bosses.
- Don’t underestimate the importance of the right armor in Elden Ring; sets like the Omen Set and Bull-Goat Set offer the best protection against lightning.
As a seasoned traveler of Elden Ring’s enigmatic world, I must say that the armor sets found within this realm are nothing short of remarkable. Among these, two have particularly caught my eye – the Verdigris Set and the Omen Set.
In contrast to common understanding, lightning can indeed strike the same location more than once, and in the game Elden Ring, this occurrence is even more frequent, particularly when dealing with dishonest enemies who spam attacks, such as late-game dragons. Facing these enemies who aim to electrify you relentlessly, it’s wise to have some defensive strategies at the ready. Among these strategies, armor emerges as the most convenient solution.
In Elden Ring, it’s essential to understand that not all armor offers protection as expected. Interestingly, armor sets with a higher proportion of metal parts can actually worsen your resistance to lightning damage! This might seem counterintuitive, but it’s part of the game mechanics. For players aiming to safeguard themselves from one of the game’s most challenging damage types, this could be quite problematic. Fortunately, there are some armor sets that buck this trend and serve as excellent exceptions.
As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can attest to the importance of having the right armor when navigating through challenging game regions. For instance, I learned the hard way that being caught in a storm without proper lightning resistance could lead to an untimely death. That’s why, when it comes to acquiring new gear, I always prioritize items with top-tier defense and lightning resistance stats. Recently, I was thrilled to find out that the latest expansion for my favorite game, Shadow of the Erdtree, has added even more armor with excellent lightning resistance to its inventory. This addition ensures that players like myself will always have the best options at our disposal to help us survive in those difficult regions and emerge victorious.
21 Queen Of The Full Moon Set
Lightning Defense: 25.1
- Location: Buy from Finger Reader Enia in the Roundtable Hold after defeating Rennala, the Queen of the Full Moon
- Physical Defense: 11.5
- Poise: 16
- Weight: 11
Despite its odd-looking crown and somewhat weak physical protection, this armor proves invaluable when faced with magical adversaries like mages or dragons. Notably, the Queen of the Full Moon Armor boasts some of the strongest defense statistics consistently found within the game.
As a seasoned adventurer who has faced countless magical and elemental attacks throughout my years of exploration, I can attest that this armor is no joke when it comes to protection. However, let me make it clear that while it does offer significant defense, players should not expect to withstand the most intense lightning assaults in the game while wearing it. On a positive note, the lightweight nature of the armor allows for swift and agile movements, making for some truly speedy rolls.
20 Azur’s Glintstone Set
Lightning Defense: 25.2
- Location: Left by Primeval Sorcerer Azur’s located north of the Hermit Village in Mt. Gelmir after completing Sorceress Sellen’s questline (players need to side with her)
- Physical Defense: 13.6
- Poise: 21
- Weight: 14.3
In the armor selection within Elden Ring, Azur’s Glintstone Set stands out as an excellent choice for handling foes and bosses that specialize in Lightning damage. This armor is highly appreciated by magic-focused builds not just because of its robust defense, but also due to its visually striking design, featuring a large green glintstone on the helmet and smaller ones on the shoulders. Moreover, the set’s crown enhances the potency of powerful spells like Comet Azur, Glintstone Cometshard, and Comet (at the expense of higher FP consumption).
To acquire the Azur’s Glintstone Set, players need to progress through Sorceress Sellen’s storyline, choosing to align with her. Upon doing so, they should make their way to Hermit Village in Mt. Gelmir, where the Primeval Sorcerer Azur resides. Once Sellen’s quest is completed, revisiting this location will cause the complete set to appear on a cliffside.
19 Veteran’s Set
Lightning Defense: 25.3
- Location: Buy from Finger Reader Enia at Roundtable Hold after killing Commander Niall at Castle Sol Rooftop
- Physical Defense: 35.5
- Poise: 80
- Weight: 45
In the fantasy action RPG Elden Ring, the “Veteran’s Armor Set” stands out as a robust and aesthetically impactful option, boasting a balanced weight and impressive poise. Its physical and lightning resistance rank among the highest in the game, making it a dependable and valuable pick for melee-focused characters. This set is expected to remain useful throughout the game due to its high resistances.
It’s worth noting that overcoming Commander Niall atop Castle Sol Rooftop in the Giants’ Mountains, one of Elden Ring’s toughest bosses who inflicts substantial Lightning damage, grants you the Veteran’s Set as a reward. Post-battle, head to Finger Reader Enia at Roundtable Hold to acquire this set using some runes.
18 Mushroom Set
Lightning Defense: 25.3
- Location: Lake of Rot for the helmet, Seethewater Cave in Mt. Gelmir for the rest
- Physical Defense: 12.5
- Poise: 11
- Weight: 12.1
Beyond its striking design, the standout feature of this item is that its components are scattered throughout the game rather than being assembled all at once. Players can discover the set’s crown (or possibly its pileus) by investigating the Lake of Rot, where it hangs from a corpse perched on top of a pillar. The remainder of this peculiar set can be unearthed in Seethewater Cave, nestled within a cave with a Giant Poison Flower and several mushroom-like beings.
In many challenging regions of Elden Ring, such as the infamous Lake of Rot, The Mushroom Set stands out for its exceptional resistances against various elements and status effects, making it one of the top choices in the game.

While it may not boast an impressive Poise value or Physical defense, it excels in Lightning and Magical defense – a trait that has saved me countless times in high-magic enemy encounters. Furthermore, its low equip load makes it an excellent choice for any build, regardless of the character’s overall weight capacity. In my experience, this armor has proven to be a valuable asset in my arsenal, offering a much-needed edge in combat situations that require quick reflexes and magic resistance.
In the Noble’s Set, you’ll find that it comes with interchangeable headbands of various colors, with a standard blue one included within the set in East Windmill Pasture on Altus Plateau, near the fire at the center of a dance circle led by Celebrants. To obtain the headband previously worn by Roderika, players must first finish her questline and gain access to spirit tuning at Roundtable Hold. Once this is done, head back to Stormveil Castle, look for the item on the pile of remains from Roderika’s followers – where it was originally found.

Now, here’s a twist in the tale – at some point in the narrative, Seluvis meets an untimely end and drops the complete set within his resting place, Seluvis’s Rise nestled in Liurnia of the Lakes.
As a seasoned Elden Ring player with countless hours spent traversing its vast and treacherous lands, I must say that the Mask of the Scornful Noble is an outstanding choice for any Intelligence build. Its lightweight nature makes it a joy to wield, while its impressive resistances against Lightning, Fire, and Magic make it an invaluable asset in combat.
14 Scaled Set
Lightning Defense: 25.6

In my gaming journey, I have encountered many sets of armor, but none quite compare to this one in terms of its weight and resilience. After facing off against the champion who dons it, I was left with a deep desire to obtain it for myself.

- Location: Drops from Prelate enemies (Fort Laeidd in Mt. Gelmir or Guardians’ Garrison in the Mountaintops of the Giants)
- Physical Defense: 36.5

- Weight: 58.8
Among the game’s armor sets, the “Gargoyle Blacksmith set” offers exceptional Poise and defense, protecting not just from Physical attacks but also against Lightning and Fire. This armor in “Elden Ring” provides a noticeably bulky appearance for your character.
To gather the complete Fire Prelate Armor Set in Elden Ring, it’s essential to battle enemies throughout the game. For improved outcomes, consider enhancing your Arcane attributes (you might find an item that raises Arcane by 8), or utilize the Silver Scarab Talisman or another suitable item. The optimal locations for farming this set are Fort Laeidd in Mt. Gelmir and Guardians’ Garrison in the Giants’ Mountain range.
11 Banished Knight Set
Lightning Defense: 25.6

In Elden Ring, the is an armament that continuously pays dividends. Not only does it sport one of the most harmonious and fashionable designs in the game, but it also boasts decent resistance to lightning, making it a versatile armor suitable for any situation. While it’s on the heavier side, the extra weight is a reasonable compromise.
Gathering the entire armor set is the challenging and time-consuming part, as pieces are obtained sporadically from foes. This means that multiple tries and possibly hours may be required before the full set is collected, unless players choose to get it from other gamers online instead.
10 Ronin’s Set

In the initial stages of play, acquiring the Ronin’s Set is unfortunately not an option. To get it, players must complete Yura’s questline or choose not to kill Yura themselves. Regardless of the choice, Shabriri will take possession of Yura and appear later on at the Mountaintop of the Giants in the Zamor Ruins Site of Grace. Players can then engage and defeat Shabriri without any major consequences, allowing them to pick up the armor from him afterwards.
9 Traveling Maiden Set
Lightning Defense: 25.7
- Location: Shack of the Lofty on the frozen river in Mountaintops of the Giants
- Physical Defense: 10.7
- Poise: 21
- Weight: 11
In Elden Ring, the so-called armor resembles more closely a nun’s robe, as these characters are actually emissaries of the Two Fingers. However, if you’re searching for a dependable defense against lightning attacks, the Traveling Maiden Set proves quite effective. It seems the fabric is thickly lined with some sort of rubber material.
Unfortunately, this powerful armor set isn’t accessible until later in the game, specifically at the Mountaintop of the Giants. You can find it hidden within the Shack of the Lofty, which lies close to the western end of the frozen river that originates from the large frozen lake. The journey there is relatively straightforward, and the area outside the shack offers a great spot for Runes farming.
