Veteran's Set Elden Ring Notes and Tips

  • The Veteran's Armor can be altered to the Veteran's Armor (Altered) to remove the cape.
  • Visually, the armor behind all the cloth in this set is almost identical to the Banished Knight Set, besides the helmet. There are differences in the details, like this one having real looking horns and more of them while Banished's got just one metal horn, and looking more deteriorated overall.
  • Poise updated to patch 1.07. See Patch Notes for details.

      The chestpiece gives me a strong inner urge to equip Lionel's helm, fire relate gauntlets, fire prelate greaves, and to power stance some great spears. Help.

        This Set + Albinauric Mask + 2 Cross Naginata's (HAS to be Blood Infused) = Extremely original build that I haven't seen over a thousand times in Elden Ring PvP. Seriously are these types of players made and programmed in a factory?

        • Anonymous

          honestly a really nice looking armour for something that's supposed to be beaten up and used, really wish the chest piece ended at the waist instead of the pelvis, really weird that they chose that for this armour considering literally every armour should has the chest piece end at the waist; doesn't blend well with the legs and looks like a wooden barrel

          • I really dig the look of this armor but the belly part being as round as it is while not "connecting" with the legs kinda bothers me. Just nitpicking at this point, you don't really see the front of your character that often anyway and the cape is probably the best looking one in the game.

            • Anonymous

              anyone else think this might be a small allusion to messmer like the drake knight set probably is? the shoulders having a dragon wing motif, the horn on the helmet and left shoulder and the fact that this guy and his caelid brother are related to miquella/malenias side?

                This set would look awesome on a tank/strength build to bad its reputation has been smeared by sweaty tryhards.

                      What's with putting capes on everything?!? This thing has two of them! All it does clip through weapons, horses, furniture, walls, and everything else. Even if you do enjoy dressing up as a pigeon, this only looks "cool" when you're stationary and away from everything.

                        Stereotypes of people who wear this aside, the full set looks so sick imo, I just wish it had the peg leg then it would be 10/10

                          Not a huge fan of the leggings at all, especially the duck feet. Any good looking leggings that fit the set well?

                            The best looking heavy set with best weight/defence/poise ratio imo. Other, lighter sets look better but I have to justify all this endurance somehow

                            • Anonymous

                              I think this armor set looks best when you are using larger weapons such as colossal weapons/swords or some of the halberts. On a strength build this can look pretty good but on a Dex build with katanas or other small weapons it can look kinda silly. I think this serves the purpose of heavy armor quite nicely without looking as goofy as the bull goat set (god the clipping on bull goat chest piece is atrocious). I also love the massive cape on the chest piece. You kind of have to commit to this set as apart from the gauntlets it is hard to mix and match pieces without it looking off or just downright terrible (Im looking at you veteran set with white mask people). Overall good set if you want a bulkier look

                                This set makes you look like you're wearing a metal trash can on your chest. Fitting considering the tryhard stereotype it's known for.

                                    Enough with the damn ugly random horn on the shoulder. Thats three armor sets that i like with this crap almost ruining them. Gives me conniptions.

                                      I think this armor genuinely looks good with a heavy build. I didn't even know about the poise stat when I picked this out for my woodchopper Godfrey Axe Santa Claus arena build simply cause the burly chestpiece and the long, thick cloak.
                                      For light builds though, it just looks goofy. The arms/legs and the helmet they wear will always be way smaller, making it look like the character's just wearing an overshized sweatshirt. It's one of those armor chestpieces like Smough's was in Dark Souls, you either commit to the heavy build and go all the way, or don't use it at all. Unless you deliberately want you character to look weird

                                                      Damn was not expecting a majority calling the set ugly. One of the cooler armor sets in game imo and especially among the heavy armors. Although bull horn is silly looking I agree

                                                          It'd be nice if it didn't make your torso look really wide/fat if it was slimmed down to a similar size to something like banished knight armor/scaled armor, i would like it a lot more, idk maybe its intended to be a big tank man type armor set but i still think it would look way better if it was slimmer and less chonky.

                                                              Just reduce Poise down to <65 so that people can stop crying. I'd still wear the whole set regardless, since it's the dopest heavy armor in the game.

                                                                there are so many people just combining this with parts of the lionel set and using some halberd (flaming strike/glintstone pebble) or ultra greatsword (giant hunt/rkr), its insane. these people are made in a factory, it's truly impressive just how often you can meet these kinds of people in duels.

                                                                    • Anonymous

In PVP, you'll see everybody just wearing this and nothing else. If everything else had higher poise values, you'd see this less often and an actual wide variety of armors. This set isn't OP, everything else is just trash. I just want to see people come up with creative fashion while still maintaining a decent build, please make it happen Fromsoft.

                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                            • Anonymous

Same as rivers of blood katana. As far as the looks. I agree the helm looks ugly, so I use Baidds helm that matches perfectly with the cape. Problem solved

                                                                                • Anonymous

Why? Who ****ing knows. Even if you do wear this, you'll still get staggered by rats.

                                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                                    • Anonymous

This set's poise needs to be balanced to be more comparable with other sets, and/or other sets need their poise values raised. Poise/weight ratio is hands down the most important armor stat because of how passive poise works, and because of that, this armor set will continue to be overused. I hate that I can't even remove the ugly cape, because that alone is TEN poise.

                                                                                        Either that or nerf the poise of it.
