Progression in Terraria is marked by the player gaining access to new weapons, accessories, and armors. While weapons are the main determinant of combat effectiveness, armor also plays an important role by degrading damage taken and passively boosting damage output based on set bonuses, item categories, etc. Choosing the ideal armor sets to use at each stage of the game is sometimes straightforward, but not always. This guide will help you decide on which armor sets to use at various points in game progression.
- Especially later in the game, bonuses to melee speed and movement speed are generally not considered as impactful as direct offensive bonuses, making them a lower priority.
- Melee speed generally only affects projectile velocity, the swing speed of close-ranged weapons and the distance of mace and Boomerangs. Neither of those are as impactful as direct bonuses to melee damage and critical chance, although melee speed investment is still viable when using powerful close-ranged weapons such as Fetid Baghnakhs and Terra Blade.
- Direct movement speed bonuses are inferior to Hermes Boots, double-jumps, and dashes when it comes to dodging attacks. Also, movement speed bonuses granted by armor pale in comparison to the +85% movement speed granted by Exquisitely Stuffed, Slice of Cake, and Swiftness Potion. Your actual mobility mainly comes from Wings, which do not benefit from these bonuses.
Defense is a polarizing stat whose effectiveness largely depends on what enemies you plan to tank hits from, and becomes disproportionately more potent when your defense is already very high. While it is unlikely to make you invincible, boosting defense as high as possible is a legitimate strategy even on higher difficulties. Those who are unwilling to invest fully in defense are advised to focus more on damage or critical hit bonuses.
The following listings are in rough order of decreasing viability.
Earlygame[]
At this point, armor serves little purpose other than to boost your defense. You may obtain up to 20 defense with metal armors Platinum armor, but the resources required are better spent elsewhere. It's perfectly fine to wear Ebonwood armor, Shadewood armor, or other basic, easy-to-craft armors until you can get your hands on a real armor set like Iron armor Lead armor and platinum armor or Tungsten armor. Whatever you wear at the start of the game will be replaced very quickly. More experienced players can save time by completely skipping armor in the early game, potentially even up to the Wall of Flesh battle.
If playing on a drunk world, Moon Lord Legs become becomesst leg armor piece to use early on. Otherwise, use whatever provides the highest defense, the most practical choices being Jungle Pants or Gladiator Leggings.

Pre-Plantera[]
Aside from Hallowed and Chlorophyte Bars, you now have access to the second tier of the Old One's Army, the rewards of which provide welcome upgrades to every class. The lopsided stat distributions of the Tavernkeep's armor sets make them excellent for hybrid sets, meaning that they are useful even if not planning to purchase a full set.

Pre-Betsy[]
While Plantera and Golem provide separate advancements to game progression when defeated, they are treated as one milestone by this guide due to their similar difficulty level. At this point, you would be expected to have defeated Duke Fishron, Martian Madness, and the Pumpkin Moon. The Xeno Staff, Desert Tiger Staff, and Spooky Breastplate in particular provide a noticeable power boost to hybrid summoners.
Those who have stockpiled a large supply of Defender Medals prior to defeating Golem can skip to the next section.

With the Old One's Army vanquished and a good supply of Defender Medals in your pocket, you can now purchase the best armor available before challenging the Lunar Events.
