Heavy Armor

Heavy Armor, or Grand Armor as it is sometimes known, is the preferred armor of samurai on the front lines of war. It consists of thick metal and bamboo plates that offer a great deal of protection and covers the entire body. This armor also features a full helm called a kabuto, often with the face mask decorated in the visage of a fearsome beast or creature.

While this armor offers superior protection, it comes at the cost of speed and maneuverability. But for samurai who are often in the thick of fighting, it is considered well worth its faults.
