Armor in Dragon Quest Heroes primarily boosts a character's defense, reducing incoming damage. Unlike traditional Dragon Quest games, armor is not visually represented on your character but provides crucial statistical benefits. Armor pieces are typically purchased from the Armor Shop in the Stonecloud or found in treasure chests. There are various types of armor, each offering different defense values and sometimes additional stat bonuses or resistances. For example, some armor might provide resistance to specific elemental damage or status effects. Always equip the highest defense armor available to your characters. While crafting armor isn't as prevalent as crafting accessories or weapons, some unique armor pieces might be available through the Alchemy Pot or as quest rewards. Prioritize keeping your front-line fighters (like King Doric and Yangus) equipped with the best defensive gear.
