Epic Armoury – wide range and realistic feel

Epic Armoury is one of the most established names in LARP globally. The range includes foam weapons, armor, clothing, and accessories, allowing you to build a complete character, from classic knight to mystical forest wanderer. Their weapon categories include different series with varying construction and feel. The Classic series uses EVA foam with a round core, the Hybrid series combines classic blades with more detailed polyurethane handles, and the Vanguard series features heavier PU blades for a more realistic weight and experience. This means both new and experienced players can find a model that suits their playstyle.

Stronghold – focus on performance and balance

Stronghold is focused on high-performance LARP weapons designed for active and intense combat. The weapons use a round core and injection-molded Epic Foam, a lightweight but very durable material that provides good shock absorption and durability. For players seeking even more realism, Stronghold Master Collection offers an oval core and weighted handle, providing better balance and more lifelike handling. It is a popular choice for LARPers who want both precision and power in their movements.

Ready For Battle – perfect for beginners

Ready for Battle is a fantasy and medieval-inspired series that focuses on affordable and accessible equipment. The series is particularly appreciated by beginners who want to get started with their first LARP without making a large investment. Here you will find simpler but durable foam weapons, gambesons, leather armor, and basic equipment that works in most fantasy settings. The design is stylish and functional, making it easy to build a believable character from scratch.

What to choose as a beginner?

If you're new to LARP, we recommend starting simple. Just like when you try your first board game – perhaps something accessible like Catan, Ticket to Ride, or Codenames – it's smart to choose equipment that is easy to understand and use. A good starter kit could be: A one-handed sword (from Ready for Battle or Epic Armoury)A simple shieldA belt and a smaller pouchYou can always build upon this with armor and more advanced equipment once you know what type of character you enjoy. Safety and Approval All LARPs have their own safety rules. Always check what applies before purchasing. The weapons are intended for LARP use, but it is the organizer who determines what is permitted. We at Dragon’s Lair on Sveavägen are happy to help you compare models, feel the balance, and find the right option.
