Turtle armor

Turtle armor is formed by hunting Giant Turtles in the Jungle biome after Hard Mode has been enabled, along with Chlorophyte Ore. This set is, if not the highest, one of the highest defense granting sets in the game.

There are no variations of this set available, and if the player chooses to wear it, they should orient themselves towards melee specialization, as well as maximizing defense via accessory reforging. This is because the player wearing it will be drawing monster attention towards themselves for the most part, granting a tanking status while everyone else can be largely ignored in case of playing with friends.

A full set grants a vastly amplified thorns effect, powerful enough to deliver the full damage the enemy would otherwise give to a non-armored player after the player is injured.
