Armor Guide/legacy (2024)

Armor is a crucial part of Skyblock. It's the main source of ❤Health and ❈Defense, its reforges are much stronger than the ones on Accessories. It is very important to get know what armor is worthwhile and what armor isn't.

Early Game[]

• Diamond Armor isn't as bad as many people make it out to be for new players and it's really cheap.
• Farm Suit has higher ❈Defense than the Diamond Armor and buffs your ✦Speed while in farming areas.
• Lapis Armor can also be used if you're feeling extra fancy. Most people would recommend you just skip over it as it isn't that much better than the 2 mentioned before.

Mid Game[]

• Ember Armor is a really cheap EPIC Armor Set. Its immunity to lava and fire damage could be good for new players that don't have the Lava or Fire Talismans yet.
• Ender Armor’s double stats while in the end make its reforges stronger than LEGENDARY Armor Sets. Since your goal in Mid Game is oneshotting Zealots, the end will be where you'll spend most of your time anyways.
• Old and Protector Dragon Armor, while cheap, have no extra ☠Crit Damage or ❁Strength. Other than their high rarity, they don't offer anything damage-wise and it's recommended to avoid them unless you really need a dramatic ❤Health boost.
• Unstable Dragon Armor is, in a way, Ender Armor but better. If you're really struggling oneshotting Zealots in Ender Armor, this should help.
• Lastly, Farmer Boots are a decent source of speed if you have a decent Farming level.

Late Game[]

• Young Dragon Armor focuses heavily on ✦Speed. If you're strong enough to easily oneshot Zealots, you might want to consider using this for higher efficiency.
• Wise Dragon Armor’s focus on ✎Intelligence makes it another good alternative for efficiently farming Zealots, especially with Magic Weapons such as the Frozen Scythe.
• Strong Dragon Armor is the 2nd best Dragon Armor for melee damage. Its buff on the AOTE damage and teleport length can also be considered an advantage in efficiency.

End Game[]

• Superior Dragon Armor is by far the most expensive Dragon Armor. Its 5% stat boost is great for Slayer Quests, as you get extra ✯Magic Find and ♣Pet Luck. However, it's not useful for much else sadly and it is recommended only for very rich players or dedicated slayer quest grinders to buy this.
• Elegant Tuxedo is the best armor set for damage, however has an extremely low Effective Health. Rich players use it for Dragon and Endstone Protector fights, as the Remnant of The Eye allows them to die multiple times without penalty. It is only recommended to get this if you do Dragon Fights or Endstone Protectors really often, and otherwise you should not get this.

Dungeons[]

Dungeon Armor Sets are much stronger inside Dungeons than outside. Because of this, Dungeon mains may want to pick some of those instead of the rest.

• Adaptive Armor is a decent EPIC Dungeon Armor Set. It is very commonly used because of it adapting to the user's class. Mages get more ✎Intelligence, while archers get more ☠Crit Damage.
• Shadow Assasin Armor is a very much used armor set before upgrading to the expensive Wither Armor or one of its variants. The chestplate is definetely the most expensive part of the set, therefore it is recomended to get a Zombie Knight Chestplate first.

Slayers[]

Quite a few armors can be obtained from Slayer Quests. Here are the ones that you should and shouldn't get.

Get[]

• Tarantula Armor, good against Tarantulas and Dragons.
• Mastiff Armor, highest EHP possible, most resilient against wolves and True Damage in general.

Don’t Get[]

• Revenant Armor isn't that strong, it gives no buff in damage and it's regeneration buff only applies to Wands of Healing, which are pretty weak.

Other[]

Those Armor sets aren't used as often, but some of them do have or will have more niche uses.

• Speedster Armor is just a worse version of Young Dragon Armor. Don't get it.
• Lantern Helmet is actually pretty good with a really high Farming level.
