Tiki armor

Tiki armor is a Hardmode post-Plantera armor set purchased from the Witch Doctor for in total.

A full set of Tiki armor provides the following benefits:


 * +35 Defense
 * +4 Minion Slots
 * +30% Minion Damage
 * +10% Whip Range

With all pieces equipped, an additional 4 minions can be summoned (for a total of 5). With the right buffs and accessories, a total of 10 minions can be summoned (see tips section below). Additionally, wearing the complete set boosts summon damage by 30%, additionally whip range is increased by 20%.

Tips

 * A full set of Pygmy minions is able to devastate most Hardmode enemies, but minion movement limitations may require some help from the player, e.g. when fighting against airborne enemies. The Optic Staff or Raven Staff might prove more useful in this situation.
 * The Tiki armor currently allows achieving the second highest minion boost when equipped along with the Pygmy Necklace, Necromantic Scroll, and Papyrus Scarab, and the Summoning and Bewitched buffs, which push the minion count to 10 (1 from base, 3 from accessories, 2 from buffs, and 4 from armor). The highest minion count is 11 and comes from using the Stardust armor (1 on helmet, 2 on chest, 2 on pants), along with the previously mentioned equipment and buffs. This is not counting the Stardust Guardian, or sentry-style minions, which can increase this number by up to 5 for 16 minions total.
 * Tiki armor is the most powerful summoner armor set pre-Moon Lord, even in terms of defense, that a player can obtain without a Mythril or Orichalcum anvil.
 * It can be particularly useful while fishing (or AFK farming) due to the increased amount of minions available for easily dispatching enemies.
 * It is often a good idea to use Spooky armor to first summon the minions (for the increased damage), before switching to Tiki armor to gain the bonus minion.
