Turtle armor

Turtle Armor is an armor set made up of the Turtle Helmet, Turtle Scale Mail, and Turtle Leggings. A full set grants a vastly amplified Thorns effect, which reflects full damage onto the attacking enemy. With no vanity items over it, a turtle shell appears on the player's back (much like the Leaf Blower, flamethrower, Elf Melter, and Heat Ray backpacks).

Crafting this set requires a total of 54 Chlorophyte Bars (324 Chlorophyte Ore) and 3 Turtle Shells.

Tips

 * The best tanking accessories are Paladin's Shield for reducing damage to your friends, Frozen Turtle Shell for extra defense in low health, and Ankh Shield which grants you immunity to most debuffs such as Broken Armor, which can be very helpful in hardmode fights.
 * You can combine chest with Chlorophyte Mask and Hallowed Greaves for increased damage perks, but at the cost of losing the Thorns effect and some defense.
 * The passive thorns effect can be very convenient as many monsters - especially weak ones - will deal more damage to themselves than to you, effectively killing themselves. This, when combined with an item which prevents knockback (such as the Cobalt Shield), sometimes allows the player to completely ignore monsters.
 * The set's thorns buff will also stack with a Thorns Potion.
 * Using the thorns buff and charging enemies can be used as a "tackle" effect.
 * Turtle armor has the best defense in both the console and mobile version only being beaten by beetle armor in PC.
