Consists of:


 * Superforged Lihzahrd Brick Helmet:

73 defense

Bonus: -25% movement speed


 * Superforged Lihzahrd Brick Chestplate:

75 defense

Bonus: -30% movement speed


 * Superforged Lihzahrd Brick Leg Plating:

74 defense

Bonus: -25% movement speed

Total Defense: 222

(So it basically gives you a ton of defense, but at the cost of greatly reduced speed and flight time) This armor is rather overpowered. Yes, it would decrease speed a lot, but is that a fair tradeoff for dealing 1 damage on most attacks?

Most attacks of the Moon Lord deal 60 damage (120 in Expert Mode). This gives 222 defense. That is 111 damage reduction (167 in Expert Mode). Now, let's put these 2 stats into calculation.

60 - 111 = -51. So in Normal mode, it would deal 1 damage. Surely this is different in Expert Mode, right? Nope.

120 - 167 = -47. That's still 1 damage. An Expert Mode Moon Lord attack, dealing 1 damage. Things are a bit better with the 2 stronger attacks, right? Let's start with the Phantasmal Sphere.

100 - 111 = -11. That's 1 damage in Normal Mode.

200 - 167 = 33. 33 is more than 1, i'll give you that, but comparing this to Solar Flare Armor.

200 - 59 = 141. So this puts the Solar Flare amor to shame.

Now, what about the most powerful attack in the Moon Lord's arsenal, the Phantasmal Deathray?

150 - 111 = 39. Now, is this OK for the most powerful attack second to the Dungeon Guardian? I think you can answer that yourself.

300 - 167 = 133. Now basically your Immortal in Normal Mode & Your only threat is the Moon Lord's Death Ray in Expert Mode.

Not saying this is a completely Bad concept, just needs some tweaking. I'm assuming it's Post-Golem, Pre-Cultist. Otherwise, if your excuse is that it's Post-Moon Lord, then why don't the Pillar Armor sets make you immortal?

Also sorry if might've been rude, i meant nothing malicious...
