Armor items are essential gear that players equip to their body slot to gain defensive benefits and unique buffs. Armor comes in three weight classes: Light, Medium, and Heavy, each affecting player character's stamina, essence, and stability against enemy attacks differently.

  • Light Armor offers the least damage reduction but preserves stamina and essence for agility-focused builds
  • Medium Armor strikes a balance between protection and resource efficiency
  • Heavy Armor provides the highest damage reduction at the cost of reduced stamina and essence.
