I intended to come back to the videos with a short, simple video. This was not it. This is the longest video I've done and if I do another one of this length it'll be a miracle. I couldn't edit this one as much as I would have liked because beyond a certain file size it started crashing with each edit. So I had to call this one 'good enough' and let it go simply because I didn't want to cut it into portions.

The attached files include the short pdf version of the presentation which contains just the scoring system I fabricated and the final results, plus a zip file with all the armor layouts I used in the presentation, just in case you want any of that.

This will go live for all on Wednesday 22 January 2025, if you spot any places where there's a clear need for an edit cut or additional note, post here in the comments with a time stamp. That's because I don't read the Youtube comments very often so I likely won't see them quickly, that's because I don't have the time or the energy.

Analysing and Ranking Armor Sets in Kingdom Death: Monster

THIS WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE A TIER LIST WHILE I'M WORKING ON THE NEXT DARK BESTIARY VIDEO BUT THERE'S OVER 30 ARMOR SETS. 🙃🙃🙃 Also, I considered deleting this entire set of recordings as I'm not sure how well it's going to be received. If you want one can support these videos either through My Patreon or KoFi which is always appreciated. https://www.patreon.com/FenPaints https://ko-fi.com/fennn Music: Dark Fog Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Sections: 00:00 - Introduction & The Importance of Armor 04:05 - Scoring System 06:57 - Scoring Categories 14:26 - Affinity "Breakpoints" 17:03 - A Semi-relevant aside on Hit Locations 20:30 - THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION CLOTHED & SATIATED 23:36 - Rawhide Armor 31:14 - Leather Armor 36:52 - Vagabond Armor variant 41:28 - Lantern Armor 45:11 - Refined Lantern Armor variants 53:37 - Sunlantern Armor variant 59:11 - White Lion Armor (I was a bit mean here, it probably should score low 30s) 1:06:02 - White Sunlion Armor (the Sunlion bits are great, but it's like putting a new chassis on a broken down car, looks nice but is still broken underneath) 1:09:24 - Gorment Armor (4 and 5 piece versions) 1:18:42 - Crimson Armor 1:31:17 - Frogdog Armor 1:42:46- Screaming Armor 1:50:35 - Screaming Sun Armor Variant 1:53:06 - Singing Armor 1:59:57 - Silk Armor 2:07:24 - Phoenix Armor 2:14:29 - Dragon Armor 2:21:41 - Cycloid Scale Armor 2:26:25 - Bullfrogdog Armor (Copper sucks as a mechanic right now) 2:35:49 - Rolling Armor 2:44:20 - (HUSHED) Deathking Armor 2:51:47 - Dancer Armor 2:55:07 - Brawler Armor 2:59:08 - Warlord Armor 3:02:24 - Count Armor 3:11:32 - Earl Armor 3:16:10 - Marchioness Armor 3:21:40 - Sprinter Armor 3:25:07 - Imitation Butcher Armor 3:30:39 - Beast Hunter Armor 3:34:24 - Green Armor 3:38:58 - Final Rankings 3:41:51 - My Personal Top 12 Armors in KDM right now It's also worth noting that the newer armors tend to score higher than the older ones, which is very nice to see. It shows that Team Death keep getting better and better at designing for their game systems.
