Template:Armor infobox Template:Console-Mobile-3DS only

Dragon armor is a top tier Hardmode melee armor. It consists of a Dragon Mask, Dragon Breastplate and Dragon Greaves.

A full set grants 60 defense, 20% increased melee damage, 15% increased critical strike chance, 38% increased melee speed and 33% increased movement speed. If the full set is visible, the player will have a afterimage, similar to Necro armor.

Each separate piece of Dragon armor has a 11% chance to be dropped by Ocram.

Notes

• Template:Console icon Unlike mobile, console users will require a world with Cobalt and Mythril. If the player's world has Palladium/Orichalcum instead of Cobalt/Mythril, the player will either have to make a new world, or fish for Crates (creating a new world may be quicker than fishing for crates). You can also farm Ocram, as he will rarely drop each armor piece.
• Template:Mobile icon On mobile, any of the pieces of armor required for crafting can be swapped out for their tier equivalent (Palladium for Colbalt, Orichalcum for Mythril, and Titanium for Adamantite
• Despite the stats saying the critical hit rate are 15% for the mask and 10% for the breastplate they are in fact 10% and 5% respectively meaning a full set only provides a total of 15% increase in critical hit rate rather than the listed 25%

Tips

• Dragon armor is one of the best melee armor sets in the game, however it is outclassed by armor such as Beetle armor or Turtle armor in certain aspects, so this armor can be regarded as a situational item.
• Though it is a very effective melee set, the Turtle armor provides an extra 5 defense points, is easier to obtain, and the Thorns set bonus, which returns some of the damage taken by melee attacks back to the attacker.
• If you are willing to forgo the set bonus, the Beetle armor Scale Mail offers 8% increased melee damage and critical strike chance, and 6% increased movement and melee speed (with no change in defense), though is harder to obtain.
