Turtle armor

Turtle armor is formed by hunting Giant Turtles in the Jungle biome after Hard Mode has been enabled, along with Chlorophyte Ore. This set is the highest defense granting set in the game.

There are no variations of this set available, and if the player chooses to wear it, they should orient themselves towards melee specialization, as well as maximizing defense via accessory reforging. This is because the player wearing it will be drawing monster attention towards themselves for the most part, granting a tanking status while everyone else can be largely ignored in case of playing with friends.

A full set grants a vastly amplified thorns effect, powerful enough to deliver the full damage the enemy would otherwise give to a non-armored player after the player is injured.

An exploit currently exists that allows the player to kill a Dungeon Guardian in seconds. Equipping the Turtle Armor and the Black Belt or Master Ninja Gear will allow the player to dodge an attack while still bouncing the damage back to the enemy that dealt it. There is a very low chance that you may dodge 2 hits in a row from the Dungeon Guardian and kill it with the reflected damage, leaving yourself completely unharmed.
