Basis for this will be armour worn by Prince Leo. This is because armour of everybody's favourite Tomato Prince does not appear to be extensively customized (unlike other siblings), and full-body image is harder to find for a typical Nohrian knight.

Nature of combat

Combat in Fire Emblem Fates has significant close-combat as well as ranged element, with neither significantly dominating another. Because of this, armour has to provide at least some protection against:

1. infantry polearms (pikes, halberds etc.)
2. infantry ranged weapons (crossbows etc.)
3. cavalry weapons (warhammer, lance)
4. sidearms (sword, dagger)
5. magic (elemental etc.)

This requires both good mobility and extensive protection, as wearer has to face massed ranged fire and still be able to fight in close quarters. Since addition of magic also increases requirments for coordination between different forces, it means that armour should provide good visibility and audibility.
