Necro armor



Necro Armor is a post-Skeletron armor set consisting of the Necro Helmet, Necro Breastplate, and Necro Greaves. A full set grants a basic 16 defense and a 20% chance to not consume ammo. In addition, each piece increases ranged damage by 5%, increasing ranged damage by a total of 15%. It is arguably the best pre-hardmode armor sets for ranged characters.

If the full suit is worn, the player leaves an afterimage while running (just like full Shadow armor). In addition, the sound the player makes when taking certain types of damage will be the same as for a Skeleton.

Crafting a full set requires a total of 135 Cobwebs and 150 Bones.

Tips

 * Stacks with other ammo conservation bonuses. When used with the Megashark it produces a 60% chance to not consume ammo. Furthermore, if you use Ammo Box from the Traveling Merchant, you will have a 68% chance to not consume ammo. If an Ammo Reservation Potion is then used, the player's chance to not consume ammo amounts to 74.4%, meaning you lose approximately one bullet every four shots.

Trivia
