Vortex armor

Vortex Armor is a Hardmode armor set that is crafted using Vortex Fragments and Luminite Bars. As of the new 1.3 update, Vortex Armor is the best ranged armor, providing an increased damage output, as well as a notably high defense increase. A full set grants the player the ability to toggle Stealth. Unlike the Shroomite Armor moving or grappling during the Vortex's stealth mode does not break the effect. This set has increased range damage, making it ideal for ranged weapons. Dashing and riding a Mount causes the player to unstealth.

While in stealth, weapon damage is increased by 50% and critical hit chance of ranged weapons is increased by 20%. However, a speed penalty applies while in stealth, unlike the stealth effect of Shroomite Armor.

Crafting this set requires a total of 36 Luminite Bars (144 Luminite) and 45 Vortex Fragments.
