In Derelict, Armor are protective equipment that can be worn by players to increase their Armor and Resistance, alongside granting various beneficial passives.
Armor is divided into the categories of Helmets, Body Armor and Leggings.
Armor Requirements & Scaling
Armor in Derelict have a set of specific Skill requirements players must reach to equip them. For example if an Armor has a equip requirement of Vitality 4, a player cannot utilize the Armor until they have reached those requirements.
Scaling is how much bonus Armor and Resistance is added to the player's stats based on their Defense levels. Armor in the Leather Set, Rogue Set and Ranger Set have lower scaling than other Armor. For example, if a weapon provides a bonus +80% Armor, the player's Armor stat will be increased by that amount. Keep in mind that stat multipliers are additive, meaning that bonus stat multipliers scale off the player's base stats.
In short, players gain more damage mitigation with the same armor the higher their Defense level is.
Damage Mitigation Types
All damage dealt in Derelict deal is either physical damage or magical damage. Physical damage is mitigated by the target's Armor while magical damage is mitigated by the target's Resistance.
Being conscious of your Armor to Resistance ratio can be beneficial as certain Enemies and Bosses have tendencies to deal either more physical damage or magical damage.
Armor Upgrades
Like Weapons, Armor upgrades can be done at the Anvil. Here, you can use Crowns and Forging Stones to increase the Grade of your Armor.
Upgrading your Armor will increase its Armor and Resistance scaling. Armor may be upgraded to Grade 20, with each successive grade level costing more and more Crowns and Forging Stones.
Armor Passives
Most Armor in Derelict possess unique Passives. Passives grant crucial benefits and enhance gameplay.
These Passives are able to be stacked, meaning that players can adorn a full set of the same armor, or wear different pieces from different sets. This also means that players can either choose to focus on intensifying a single passive or mix and match passives to create experimental combinations.
Armor Sets
Armor Sets are complete combinations of individual Armor in Derelict. Armor Sets provides players with mitigation against both physical damage and magical damage. Wearing Armor will change the character's appearance, with the option of toggling Helm visibility available in the equipment menu.
There are exactly 50 pieces of armor in Derelict.
