Talk:Beetle Armor/@comment-28872280-20160630022549

one of the more common questions in this comment section is scale mae or shell. This is a dumb question to me, even though you have the great damage boost, the shell is the only logical way to go, to me the scale male means downgrading. The scale male drops down 7 defence from the turtle scale male, and you lose the thorns buff, the turtle armor covers both attack and defence, the beetle armor with shell has no attack but lots of defence. The scale male downgrades your defence and sacrafices too much for the small amount of extra attack it gives
