Dozens of armor pieces exist in Terraria's vast item library, and progression is still on the horizon. It is absolutely essential that you upgrade your armor when a new stage of the game is unlocked for you. But what does the end of progression look like? We've compiled a list of five of the best armor sets you can get your hands on - bottom line, they're all armor sets.
Sun armor set
The Solar Flare armor set is the outfit you want if you plan on tanking, repairing damage, and looking pretty adorable. Avoid taking damage for as long as possible while wearing a full set, and you'll be able to perform a dash thanks to Solar Shield. A full set also provides Solar Blaze, a buff that reduces damage taken by 30%, but only if you've dodged the damage long enough for a charge.
It goes without saying that Solar Flare as a set grants excellent stats that prioritize melee builds, such as 17% melee critical strike chance, 22% melee damage, 15% melee speed. melee, 15% movement speed, and each piece increases the chance that enemies will attack you.
Stardust armor set
Granted, the Stardust armor set isn't crammed with stats like other sets. In total, you get a 66% increase in minion damage and an increase in your max minion capacity, which allows you to summon six in total. The Stardust Guardian is just one of two reasons to use Stardust armor, and the other is fun to use with maximum summon. With a few buffs, you can increase the maximum number of summons from six to 11.
Nebula Armor Set
For players who want a magic-focused armor set, there's the Nebula armor set. This purple tinted set that makes you look like a dark wizard makes you a magical god. For starters, you get an additional 60 mana, plus a 15% reduction in mana usage. Critical Hit Chance is increased by 16% and Magical Damage is increased by 26%. In addition, your movement speed is 10% faster.
That's all well and good, but the secret weapon of the Nebula Armor is its set bonus. Whenever you damage enemies there is a chance that a buff booster will drop, further increasing stats depending on which buff is picked up - there are three of them: damage booster, health booster, and mana booster. . Each buff lasts eight seconds and can be stacked three times.
Vortex armor set
When it comes to ranged combat, you can't beat the Vortex armor set. Ranged damage and ranged critical strike chance are increased by 36% and 27% respectively, but it has an interesting feature that it does not consume ammo. There's only a 25% chance that this will happen, but any ranged character would kill to have it.
The set bonus is what remote users are looking for: stealth mode. You can switch to stealth mode and still move around the map, unlike the shroomite armor. However, an additional 80 percent ranged damage increase and 20 percent ranged critical strike chance in stealth is nothing everlasting.
Hallowed Armor Set
The Hallowed armor set makes this list simply because it's an invaluable all-rounder at the start of hard mode. Its bonus chance set based on the variant of the Sanctified Helmet you wear, such as increased melee damage if you wear the Sanctified Helmet, reduces mana usage with the Sanctified Helmet and movement speed with the Mask. sanctified. Even when you are deeply immersed in the content of the Endgame, the elements of the Sanctified Set are found in the Ends, especially the magical versions.
Don't stick to one set
Often times the best way to min-max is not to wear one set, but to mix and match the effect you want. For example, the Solar Flare armor set is amazing when used together for its set bonus, but to deal as much melee damage as possible you can go with the Chlorophyte Mask, Valhalla Knight's Greaves, and just the Solar Flare breastplate. Another example is the Vortex armor set. It's best in a multiplayer environment where your friends can grab the attention of the monsters, giving you ample room to dispense massive amounts of DPS. Ultimately, it comes down to the style of play.
