Here are the best Heavy Armor sets in Skyrim players can invest in. Wearing a full set is also a great bonus, provided the player has unlocked the perks within the heavy armor skill tree that grants powerful boosts when wearing only heavy armor. There are a few great heavy armor sets for such character builds.

Heavy armor is great for two-handed fighters who like to stay close up and personal and dish out a ton of damage while being able to sustain a lot as well. If a player chooses to go down the tankier route and make a close-combat, heavy-damage Dragonborn, chances are they'll most likely invest perks in the heavy armor skill tree. For every character, there's a perfect set of armor in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
