Dragon armor

Dragon armor is a Hardmode melee armor set consisting of the Dragon Mask, the Dragon Breastplate and the Dragon Greaves. Each separate piece of Dragon armor has a chance of being dropped by Ocram, or can otherwise be crafted. It is not as good when compared with Beetle armor, and once defeated Ocram will drop Souls of Blight.

A full set of Dragon armor provides the following benefits:
 * +60 defense
 * +20% melee damage
 * +25% critical strike chance
 * +38% melee speed
 * +35% movement speed

Additionally, if the full set is visible the player will have an afterimage, similar to Necro armor.

Tips

 * Dragon armor is one of the best melee armor sets in the game, however it can be outclassed by Beetle or Turtle armors in certain aspects, so this can be regarded as a situational set.
 * Though it is a very effective melee set, the Turtle armor provides an extra 5 defense points, is easier to obtain, and has the thorns set bonus, which returns all of the damage taken by melee attacks back to the attacker.
 * If the player is willing to forgo the set bonus, the Beetle Scale Mail offers 8% increased melee damage and critical strike chance, and 6% increased movement and melee speed (with a positive change in defense), though is harder to obtain.
 * The 35% increased speed can be used to make some late-game movement speed builds like this: Dragon armor, Swiftness potion, Lightning boots, Panic necklace (use the lightning boots to take little fall damage to keep buff active) Aglet, Anklet of the wind, Tabi for dashing, and put the “Quick” modifier on all accessories and you get 153% increased movement speed.

Trivia

 * Dragon armor can be considered an upgrade of the Shadow armor.
 * The Dragon Armor sprite was updated in 1.3, despite not being used in the game.
