Shadow armor

Shadow Armor consists of a Shadow Helmet, Shadow Scalemail and Shadow Greaves.

A full set grants a basic 19 defense, and a 15% increase in melee attack speed.

When the full suit is worn the player makes trails behind them as they run, and the suit sparks off shadow particles. However, this will only happen if there are no items in the social slot, much like Molten Armor. Also when wearing a full set, it makes the Rocket Boots' flames purple.

It takes a total of 60 Demonite Bars and 45 Shadow Scales to craft a full suit of Shadow Armor. Pieces of Shadow Armor can also be dropped when the Eater of Worlds is defeated.

Development
During Alpha, Shadow Armor was made at a Demon Altar.
