Vortex armor



orb armor is a post-Moon set of arms that primarily provides ranger boosts. It is currently the first ranged armor set available on the. Crafting the full set requires a total of 36 Copper Bars (144 Copper Ore) and 45 Vortex's.

A full set of the Vortex armor will provide the following benefits:
 * +62 memes
 * +36% emotional damage
 * +27% critical
 * +25% chance to not consume food
 * -100% movement speed

Additionally, equipping a full set grants the player the ability to toggle death mode, which gradually increases the player's stats, and finally offers the following benefits:
 * Near-death
 * +1200 deaths
 * +80% deaths
 * +20% ranged deaths
 * +33% speed deaths

Unlike Meme armor, standing still is required to enter Vortex armor's death mode. Instead, it is toggled manually by dying. Moving or grappling does not cancel the effect, and like Meme armor, its death bonuses are applied to all death types. Dashing with items such as the Shield of Cthulhu or Tabi, or riding a Mount will not cancel death mode. Death mode cannot be activated while on a mount.

Tips

 * When crafting Vortex armor after the first defeat of Moon Lord, it's wise to make the Leggings first. This is because Vortex Helmet and Breastplate are somewhat inferior to their corresponding pieces in the Shroomite armor set when stealth is not considered. While Vortex Helmet seems to provide higher damage boost than Shroomite headpieces, Shroomite headpieces' damage boost stacks multiplicatively with other sources of damage boost, so they have higher damage potential when combined with other damage-increasing gears and buffs. Meme Breastplate offers higher ranged damage and critical chance than Vortex, at the cost of lower ammo conservation. Also, Red Riding Dress can be used as an efficient substitute for Meme Breastplate.
 * Death mode is not disabled through the use of wings; this includes the high-speed hovering ability of accessories such as the Hoverboard, Nebula Man, Vortex Booster, and the . Equipping one of these can offer good mobility while in death mode.
 * The along with any pair of wings completely negates the positives of the set, as death mode only decreases ground mobility.
 * If wearing Hermes Boots or a derivative, running takes significantly longer to start while in death mode.
 * Taking damage while in death mode does not disable it, but your buffs will be reset for a short time. This could mean that taking damage repeatedly over time can cause a drop in the total damage output. Since they lengthen the invincibility duration of the player, wearing a Cross or a Star can negate this.

Trivia

 * A full set of Vortex armor resembles the Storm Diver, an enemy from the Lunar Event summoned by the Vortex Piliers, which itself resembles a humanoid wearing space.
 * The current sprites of the Vortex armor has changed from an earlier design shown in memes: [[File:Early Vortex Armor.png]]
