Armor

Armor

DaemoniaCraft uses three standard armor styles plus several shield forms.

Armor Styles

Each armor style has:

• Helmet
• Chestplate
• Leggings
• Boots

Armor Style	Standard Classes	Relative Defense Chassis
Heavy Armor	Tanker, Fighter	100%
Light Armor	Fighter, Assassin	~67.5%
Spellcaster Armor	Spellcaster, Support	~45%

These percentages describe the relative base defensive chassis before materials, modifiers and upgrades.

Heavy Armor

Heavy Armor provides the highest raw Defense potential.

It is the main defensive armor for:

• Tanker
• Fighter

Light Armor

Light Armor sacrifices some raw Defense and retains an innate Dodge identity.

It is intended for:

• Fighter
• Assassin

Spellcaster Armor

Spellcaster Armor has the lowest raw Defense chassis and is intended for:

• Spellcaster
• Support

Its lower physical chassis leaves more build space for magical and utility-focused stats.

Armor Materials

Armor materials add another stat identity to the finished item.

Material	Identity	Durability
Leather	Dodge Rating	70%
Gold	Max Mana	70%
Chain	Parry Rating	90%
Iron	Flat Defense	100%
Diamond	Flat Max Health	125%
Netherite	Higher flat Defense, durability and a movement penalty	150%

Note: Diamond's current Blacksmith material bonus is flat Max Health. The Max Health enchantment is a separate percentage-based modifier.

Example: S-Rank Heavy Chestplate

The current S-Rank Heavy Chestplate material ranges demonstrate the different identities:

Material	S-Rank Material Effect
Leather	+2.4–3.6 Dodge Rating
Gold	+140–190 Max Mana
Chain	+2.8–4.2 Parry Rating
Iron	+160–230 Defense
Diamond	+280–380 Max Health
Netherite	+220–300 Defense and -0.5% Movement Speed

Material strength changes by:

• Equipment rank
• Armor chassis
• Armor slot

A Light or Spellcaster Chestplate does not receive the same flat Defense material values as a Heavy Chestplate.

For example, current S-Rank Iron Chestplates use approximately:

Armor Style	Iron Defense
Heavy	+160–230
Light	+108–155.2
Spellcaster	+72–103.5

The Blacksmith menu displays the exact live range for the item being forged.

Shields

Standard shield forms include:

• Buckler
• Kite Shield
• Tower Shield
• Runic Shield

Full shields such as Kite, Tower and Runic Shields are standard Tanker equipment.

Bucklers are treated separately and currently do not use the same base-class restriction.

Shield Materials

Shields use the same broad material identities as armor, scaled for an offhand defensive item.

Example: S-Rank Tower Shield

Material	Current S-Rank Effect
Leather	+0.96–1.44 Dodge Rating
Gold	+56–76 Max Mana
Chain	+1.12–1.68 Parry Rating
Iron	+64–92 Defense
Diamond	+112–152 Max Health
Netherite	+88–120 Defense and -3.25% Movement Speed

Shield Frames

Frame	Effect
Standard Frame	No stat changes
Light Frame	+3% Movement Speed, -15% Defense, -15% Block Rating, -10% Durability
Reinforced Frame	+15% Defense, +15% Block Rating, +15% Durability, -3% Movement Speed

Armor Modifiers

Armor style affects which enchantments and modifiers it can receive.

Examples:

• Heavy Armor supports defensive Block-oriented modifiers.
• Light Armor supports Dodge and several physical/offensive modifiers.
• Spellcaster Armor supports magical and skill-oriented modifiers.
• Elemental Defense can be applied across all three armor styles.

See Enchanting and Modifiers for the full compatibility summary.
