·Multi-source verified (57/57)

Armor and shields are crucial for protecting your party members from enemy attacks. They increase a character's Defense stat and sometimes offer resistance to specific elemental attacks or status effects.

  • Body Armor: Robes (for mages), Light Armor (for agile characters), Heavy Armor (for warriors).
  • Shields: Increase Defense, some offer elemental resistance.
  • Helmets: Increase Defense, some offer resistance to status effects like Sleep or Confusion.
  • Accessories: Rings, amulets, and other items that provide various stat boosts, resistances, or even unique abilities.
Prioritize equipping the armor with the highest Defense for your front-line fighters. For spellcasters, look for robes that boost Wisdom or MP, or offer magical resistance. Accessories can be incredibly powerful, so don't overlook them. Some accessories are unique and can only be found through side quests or Mini Medal exchanges. Regularly check shops for new armor upgrades and always aim to have the best protection available for your entire party.
