Armor can be equipped by the player, Settlers, and Raiders. Equipping armor reduces the damage taken from hits. Each point of armor reduces damage taken by 0.5 health.
Equipping a full set of matching armor will give a 'set bonus'.
Armor pieces must be equipped in the armor slots to get their benefits, equipping them in the cosmetic slots does not provide any defense.
Armor is put in different categories. Melee, Range, Mage and Summoner.
Note : Once the player unlocks Incursions, all armor pieces can be upgraded at an Upgrade Station to reach a similar level of defenses and stat bonuses. Meaning that, without considering the unique set bonus, even a weak early game armor can be relevant for end game content.
