Armour Ancillaries (Total War: Three Kingdoms)

For more on ancillaries, see Ancillary (Total War: Three Kingdoms)

Armour Ancillaries are the clothes or armour that characters and heroes wear in Total War: Three Kingdoms. Armour ancillaries determine a hero's base armour in battle, can gain and lose attributes, and might provide secondary effects. There are two armour ancillary types: generic ones, usable by most characters of the suitable class, and armour tied to unique characters. The latter can never be unequipped or replaced and are linked to their associated character.

Armour ancillaries can be gained in a variety of ways. Some characters start the campaign wearing better armour, or a faction might have some at the start. Alternatively, they can be gained by killing heroes wearing the ancillary in battle, trading for it via diplomacy with another faction, completing certain events and missions, or via the Armour Craftsmen building.

Below is a list of armour ancillaries in Three Kingdoms.

Romance/Records Variants

A small number of armour ancillaries unique to characters have variations between the Romance and Records modes of the campaign. In all three cases, this removes chainmail (not used in China until the late 4th century AD) and replaces it with a more historically accurate armour set. The stats between the two versions stay the same.

Cut Content

When digging through the game files, one might encounter numerous files relating to archer heroes. Initially meant to join the water element alongside Strategists, these appear to have been scrapped during development. Two armour ancillary images are in the game files, though their would-be name and stats are ultimately unknown. Two more scrapped ancillaries also appear. The first is an alternate version of Shi Xie's armour, and the second is an armour set for Zhang Lu, who uses generic armour in-game. Neither of these is used in-game.
