Armor provides Soma with defensive bonuses, reducing the damage taken from enemy attacks. Different pieces of armor offer varying levels of defense and sometimes additional stat boosts or resistances.
Armor Categories:
- Body Armor: Equippable in the 'Body' slot. Examples: Cotton Clothes, Plate Armor, Death's Robe.
- Headgear: Equippable in the 'Head' slot. Examples: Bandana, Iron Helm, Witch Hat.
- Accessories: Equippable in the 'Accessory' slot. These often provide unique bonuses beyond defense, such as stat boosts, soul drop rate increases, or MP regeneration. Examples: Rare Ring, Chaos Ring, Hyper Wrist.
Prioritize armor with higher DEF, but also consider any secondary effects. For example, the Rare Ring is invaluable for soul farming, even if it doesn't offer direct defensive stats. The Chaos Ring is arguably the most powerful accessory in the game.
