I found elemental damage protection too situational, so in the end I used the stealth armor with melee damage mods. For combat I prefer melee protection, for me when a machine got close enough to hit me that was generally the most dangerous situation. When I played the game first, falling back to stealth was typically the way I resolved situations I failed at with brute force. If you use stealth, the stealth armor is still your best bet. It is significantly weaker on higher difficulties where it'll absorb only one hit usually. It provides a lot of protection compared to the non-DLC armor with crappy mods, and also is a big boost to convenience as you need far less healing and herb gathering. The armor provides a shield that absorbs damage and refreshed automatically. You get this armor from the Ancient Armory side quest, and the last two power cells are in the Grave Hoard and the GAIA Prime facility. Spoiler for the exact quests you need to do: You can get this armor once you progress further in the main quest, it is roughly 2 big quests from where you are now. For me this armor did obsolete all other armors and I used it exclusively once I got it.

There is an armor that you can't buy that is very strong on medium or lower difficulty levels (it is intentionally nerfed on higher levels).

(For reference, the main quest has told me to head to the Grave Hoard at my current point of progression.)

Which armor sets should I buy that will see the most use in the back half of the game? Which resistances should I seek to maximize, and how should I mod them?

It seems like the optimal strategy is probably to get armors that have high defense against a single element and switch around, modding them to stack even more of that given element.

I could use the two mod slots to provide some manner of reduction against one or two elements, but that doesnвЂ™t feel great either, since armor mods donвЂ™t seem very strong (or at least, the ones IвЂ™ve found havenвЂ™t.) But it doesnвЂ™t really offer, well, anything, in terms of defense. Early in the game, I picked up the Nora stealth armor, and when the opportunity presented, I upgraded that to the Heavy variant, and itвЂ™s been my daily driver. And so, we turn to the question of AloyвЂ™s attire. IвЂ™ve reached a point in Horizon: Zero Dawn where I have enough shards to start investing in something other than weapon upgrades and ammunition.
