Vortex armor

Vortex armor is a late-game Hardmode armor set that provides ranged weapon boosts. It is currently the best ranged armor set available. Crafting the full set requires a total of 36 Luminite Bars (144 Luminite) and 45 Vortex Fragments.

In total, Vortex armor pieces apply the following boosts:
 * +36% ranged damage
 * +27% ranged critical strike chance
 * +25% chance to not consume ammunition
 * +10% movement speed

Additionally, equipping a full set grants the player the ability to toggle stealth mode, which has the following effects:
 * Near-invisibility
 * Decreased chance that enemies will target the wearer
 * +80% ranged damage
 * +20% ranged critical strike chance
 * Decreased movement speed

Unlike Shroomite armor, standing still is not required. The Vortex armor's stealth mode is instead toggled manually by double-tapping the key. Moving or grappling does not cancel the effect, and its boosts are applied to all ranged weapon types (unlike Shroomite armor, which requires switching headpieces for different ranged weapon types). Dashing or riding a Mount does cancel stealth mode.

Tips

 * Stealth mode is not broken through use of wings; this includes the high-speed hovering ability of accessories such as the Hoverboard and Vortex Booster. Equipping one of these can offer good mobility while in stealth mode.

Trivia

 * When you equip the armor set with the Vortex Beater (or Xenopopper), you will resemble a Storm Diver, an enemy from the Lunar Event summoned by the Vortex Pillar.
