Orichalcum armor

Orichalcum Armor is a Hardmode armor set and is the counterpart to Mythril Armor. Like all Hardmode ore armors, Orichalcum armor has three different headwear options, allowing players to focus on magical, melee, or ranged combat, and each with a corresponding set bonus. Crafting a one-helmet set requires 54 Orichalcum Bars or 216 Orichalcum Ore. Crafting all five pieces requires 78 Orichalcum Bars or 312 Orichalcum Ore.

Whenever the player strikes an enemy while wearing a full set, a flower petal is summoned at the edge of the screen and shoots to the other end of the screen. The flower petal will always be aimed at the enemy that triggered it, but it will damage any other enemy that it goes through. The flower petal deals around 30 damage to each target it strikes and can pierce, causing damage to multiple foes in a line with a single attack. Petals travel very quickly and pass through solid blocks and liquid with ease. There is roughly a one-second cooldown before another flower petal can be summoned again.

Tips

 * This is very effective with The Horseman's Blade due to the attack making both petals and pumpkins.
 * To color-match items to Orichalcum armor, use Violet Dye as opposed to Pink Dye.
 * Powerful against worm-type enemies like the Destroyer or the Wyvern.
 * Although the Milkyway Weaver and the Crawltipede also follow the Worm AI, only one of their segments is vulnerable. Besides, using the Orichalcum armor during the Lunar Events isn't a very good idea.

Trivia

 * This armor is a reference to to the movie "Lord of the Rings" because there were orcs that also had armors on them.

History

 * 1.2 (console version): Introduced.
