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

 * The set bonus stacks with other ammo conservation bonuses. When used with the Megashark, it produces a 60% chance to not consume ammo. Furthermore, using the Ammo Box from the Traveling Merchant will result in a 68% chance not to consume ammo. If an Ammo Reservation Potion is then used, the player's chance not to consume ammo amounts to 74.4%, meaning only approximately every fourth shot consumes a bullet.

Trivia

 * The term "necro" comes from the Ancient Greek word νεκρός (nekrós, "dead").
 * The Necro armor is the only pre-Hardmode armor set that buffs ranged damage.
 * It is the only armor set in the game of a rarity.
