Meaning the entire set requires 18 beetle husks, 324 chlorophyte ore, and 3 turtle shells.
#TERRARIA ARMOR FULL#
You can craft beetle armor by combining 18 beetle husks with a full set of turtle armor. The shell will slowly provide more beetles and each beetle that spawns will mitigate the damage of the next attack you take by increments of 15% for a maximum of 45% damage mitigation. The scale is the more offensive variant that provides you with 61 armor rating, 8% melee critical strike chance, 14% melee damage, and 12% melee and movement speed.ĭealing damage with the scale will increase your attack speed by increments of 10% increasing to a maximum of 30%. The total armor stats of the shell provide you with 73 total armor rating, 5% melee critical strike chance, 11% melee damage, and 6% melee and movement speed. Like the spectre armor the beetle armor has different set bonuses depending on which chestplate you choose to equip, the shell or the scale. The damage reduction from the shell variant of the beetle armor may even be higher than the solar flare armor as the shell armor can mitigate up to an additional 45% damage. The beetle armor will provide you with one of the highest defense ratings available in the game, only outmatched by the solar flare armor post Moon Lord. It is a solid option, but I prefer the healing form the hood even with all of the detriments it comes with. The mask will provide you with extra maximum mana, and the orbs from the set bonus will deal 50% of any damage you deal. The total armor bonus with the hood offers a meager 30 total armor rating and the mask offers 42 total armor. To make both sets you will need 66 spectre bars (33 ectoplasm and 396 chlorophyte ore). To make a set of spectre armor, with one helmet, you will need 54 spectre bars (27 ectoplasm and a total of 324 chlorophyte ore). Personally, I love the glass cannon build that the hood offers and healing effects are insane as potion healing requires a full minute between uses. The mask is a more solid option, whereas the hood offers a lifesteal effect for mages. This is to compensate for its lower overall defenses. However, if you decide to go with the spectre hood, any magic damage you deal will heal you. The hood will change the set bonus to cut your magic damage by 40%. The mask is a safer option as it offers more defense and higher damage per second, but the hood offers a unique playstyle that is rewarding to play.

The mask will increase your damage by a lot as it will spawn orbs that home in on enemies when you deal magic damage.

The spectre armor has two different set bonuses depending on which helmet you decide to wear. This is an armor set that awards smart spell usage and managing your health bar. Moving away from post Moon Lord armor, the spectre armor offers a unique set bonus that makes playing as a mage extremely volatile and dependent on your spell slinging prowess. Meaning you will most likely need to defeat the Moon Lord and the celestial pillars more than once.

You can make stardust armor with a total of 36 luminite bars and 45 stardust fragments at an ancient manipulator, meaning to make a full set of stardust armor you will need 144 luminite ore. The stardust guardian alone can handle most hardmode enemies and coupled with the total of six minions you can summon, it is easy to defeat any boss or enemy in the game. The extra minion damage is the highest damage increase you can receive from armor for summoners and your damage per second is compounded by the stardust guardian you get to have indefinitely for simply having the whole set on. With every piece of the stardust armor on you unlock the set bonus, an armor rating of 38, a total of 5 extra summonable minions, and an increase of 66% minion damage.

The set bonus grants you a powerful summon that deals a large amount of damage rapidly and helps protect the user from any enemy that presents itself onto your screen. This list will attempt to compile some of the best armor you can find throughout different stages of Terraria.įor this list I wanted to cover armor that is not just endgame post Moon Lord armor, but the stardust armor for summoner’s is indisputably the strongest set of armor for summoners. Many set bonuses offer a bonus to the type of stat the armor provides, whereas some set bonuses will provide a unique effect. It is not recommended to mix and match different types of armor as the set bonuses typically outweigh the mix of stats you can receive from wearing armor pieces. There are over 60 different armor sets each offering increases to stats for weapons, attack speed, movement speed, and various other set bonuses achievable from equipping one set of armor.
