About this converter

Elden Ring shows physical defense per armor piece, so this table uses the chest piece Standard defense of 17 iconic pieces, from light robes to Bull-Goat plate. Cloth rows run 5.3 to 12.9: Alberich's Robe at 5.3, Champion Pauldron at 6.0, Chain Armor at 11.9, Elden Lord Armor at 11.9, All-Knowing Armor at 12.9, Briar Armor at 12.9, Eccentric's Armor at 12.9. Mid rows run 13.5 to 14.6: Mausoleum Knight Armor at 13.5, Vagabond Knight Armor at 13.5, Leyndell Knight Armor at 13.5, Cleanrot Armor at 14.6. Heavy rows run 16.8 to 20.4: Scaled Armor at 16.8, Lionel's Armor at 17.5, Omen Armor at 18.3, Tree Sentinel Armor at 18.7, Veteran's Armor at 18.7, Bull-Goat Armor at 20.4. That makes Bull-Goat chest defend near four times Alberich's Robe.

How to use it

Pick two chest pieces and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first piece, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total defense. Try Bull-Goat Armor against Alberich's Robe to see the plate equal near four robes.

Values are chest piece Standard defense only, not full set totals. Full sets combine multiplicatively in game, so adding four piece numbers overstates real negation. All rows use unaltered base versions, since altered versions carry slightly lower defense. Weight, elemental negation, resistances, and poise sit outside this table. This stat differs from armor weight tables, which rank carry load instead of damage stopped. Numbers match Eldenpedia, Game8, and RankedBoost chest tables.
