How we rank the trims
Trims don't change stats, so this ranking is about looks. Trims that cover more of the armor and read clearly from a distance rank higher. Versatility matters too: a trim that looks good on most armor types and trim materials beats one that only suits a single combo. Rarity is a bonus, because a rare trim says something about the player wearing it.
Your favourite may differ, so try them yourself. Open the 3D workshop to test any trim on your own skin, or copy a ready-made outfit with the armor trim command generator.
