Valheim Equipment
Every Valheim weapon and armor set compared - from Crude Bow to Mistwalker, Troll armor to Flametal, plus trinkets and shields.
What counts as equipment?
Valheim equipment spans melee weapons, bows, staffs, shields, armor sets, and capes. Damage types (blunt, slash, pierce, elemental) and set bonuses matter as much as raw armor rating.
Why optimize Valheim gear?
Match Damage to Enemies
Swamp enemies resist slash but fear blunt; the right weapon type multiplies your damage output
Trade Speed for Armor
Heavy sets like Carapace absorb hits; Fenris and Troll armor trade protection for mobility and stealth
Upgrade at the Right Station
Workbench, Forge, Black Forge, and Galdr Table each gate different upgrade levels - plan your base around them
