Best Skills, Armor Sets, and Runic Summons to Get First in God of War Ragnarök

Finally, the day of playing God of War Ragnarök has come unto us and become a reality. It is by far one of the most anticipated games of the year, or the past several years. With Kratos and Atreus making their return to wait for Ragnarök, we are into an adventure that promises a lot of action, but also a lot of character and memorable moments. Having said that, if you and me are a little alike, then you want to be as efficient as possible. I understand, why keep upgrading a piece of armor or farming for certain skills if ultimately you’re going to find something better? This question arises specially in the early game where pretty much anything is interchangeable. Don’t worry, my friend, here are the best skills, armor sets, and runic summons to get first in God of War Ragnarök.

Best Armor Sets to Get First in God of War Ragnarök

If you played the previous installment of the God of War saga, you know that the best armor depends specifically on the type of player that you are. Do you want to focus on being a damage supernova or become pretty much indestructible by focusing on defense? Well, here are 3 armor sets you should pay attention to and get first early in God of War Rangarök.

• Vidar’s armor: if you like to focus on damage, this armor is for you.
• Fortified Husk armor: if you like to focus on defense, get this as soon as you can.
• Nidavellir’s Finest armor: once further into the game, be sure to get this armor, it is by far the best early armor in the game.

Best Runic Summons in God of War Rangarök

When Atreus is able to summon runic animals to help you in your battle, it almost feels like he is a wizard from Hogwarts, dealing with the enemies by throwing his Expecto Patronum. It is an awesome skill, and here are the best Runic Summons in God of War Ragnarök.

• Rampaging Ibex: stuns and deals damage.
• Falcons’ Dive: damage and runic.
• Wrath of the Wolf: damage, damage, and damage.

I wish you a happy hunting early in this game for all the best skills and items, be sure to upgrade them and don’t neglect Atreus, he is very helpful in clearing those monsters.
