Beetle armor

The Beetle Armor is considered to be a step up from the Turtle Armor set, granting better defense and meele perks. It is one of the 3 endgame armors available for the PC version, along withthe Shroomite armor and Spectre armor.

Equipping the full set allows for beetles to fly around the player once certain requirements are achieved. Up to 3 beetles can be active at the same time, and give different buffs depending of the chest piece you are using:


 * With the Scale Mail, you have to cause damage to enemies, and every few seconds in combat increases damage and speed in increments of 10%, up to 30%. If you exit combat, the beetles will dissapear one by one along with the buff.


 * With the Shell, you only have to avoid being hit for a few seconds for the buff to start building up. Each beetle adds 15% damage mitigation, going up to 45%. If the player is hit at any moment, the total damage of the hit will be reduced by that amount and one beetle will disappear, reducing the buff by one tier.

Crafting the full set (not including the other chest piece variant) from scratch requires 18 Beetle Husks, 54 Chlorophyte Bars (or 324 pieces of Chlorophyte Ore), and 3 Turtle Shells.
