Valheim tier list Defender: Mountain

Graded within the biome: S from 90 % of the best at the highest level, A from 75, B from 60, C from 45, D below. The next biome stands beside it, and levels 1 to 4 show what upgrading brings. The question mark explains the formula.

Level 1 2 3 4

Mountain

Weapons

Block armour at the level × Parry bonus. Shields, and the two-handers that block without one: greatswords, atgeirs, battleaxes and sledges.

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

Level 4

Armour

Against the biome's hardest strike, bosses left out - Stone Golem: 110 Pierce. Each damage type passes the set's resistances, then the armour works on the sum as the game applies it; the grade is the strike ÷ what gets through. Helmet, chest and legs at the level, with the biome's best cape.
