====== Armor ======

{{ rpd:images:armor_sprite.png|Armor }}

Armor in Remixed Dungeon is protective equipment that reduces damage from enemy attacks. Different types of armor offer different levels of protection and special properties.

==== Armor Categories ====
  * **Light Armor:** Higher mobility but less protection
    * [[rpd:cloth_armor_item|Cloth Armor]] - Basic armor (Tier 1)
    * [[rpd:leather_armor_item|Leather Armor]] - Mid-tier light armor (Tier 2)
  * **Medium Armor:** Balanced protection and mobility
    * [[rpd:mail_armor_item|Mail Armor]] - Balanced protection (Tier 3)
    * [[rpd:scale_armor_item|Scale Armor]] - Higher protection option (Tier 4)
  * **Heavy Armor:** Maximum protection but reduced mobility
    * [[rpd:plate_armor_item|Plate Armor]] - Maximum protection (Tier 5)
  * **Specialty Armor:** Class-specific or unique armor
    * [[rpd:class_armor|Class Armor]] - Mastery armors (GladiatorArmor, BerserkArmor, etc.)
    * [[rpd:chaos_armor_item|Chaos Armor]] - Special variant
    * [[rpd:gothic_armor_item|Gothic Armor]] - Guts DLC armor
    * [[rpd:spider_armor_item|Spider Armor]] - Special variant
    * [[rpd:rat_armor|Rat Armor]] - Special variant

==== Base Properties ====
  * **Defense Rating:** How much damage is reduced from attacks, calculated as: ''effectiveDR = tier * 2 + level() * tier + (glyph ? tier : 0)''
  * **Durability:** How much damage the armor can take before breaking (related to level)
  * **Strength Requirement:** Minimum strength needed to wear effectively (decreases as armor is upgraded)
  * **Speed Penalty:** How much armor may slow you down (based on weight vs strength)
  * **Tier:** Armor classifies from 1-5 based on protection (Cloth to Plate)
  * **Default Price:** ''10 * (1 << (tier - 1))'', with 50% bonus if glyphed

==== Special Mechanics ====
  * **Glyphs:** Armor can have special magical properties added via [[rpd:arcane_stylus|Arcane Stylus]]
  * **Upgrading:** Armor can be upgraded with Scrolls of Upgrade to improve defense rating and potentially add enhancement bonuses
  * **Class Specialization:** Some classes get special benefits from specific armor types
  * **Weight vs. Strength:** Heavier armor slows you down if insufficient strength
  * **Class Armors:** Special armor obtained via [[rpd:armor_kit_item|Armor Kit]] on any regular armor - grants special subclass abilities (e.g. [[rpd:gladiator_armor_item|Gladiator]], [[rpd:berserker_armor|Berserker]], [[rpd:warlock_armor_item|Warlock]], etc.)
  * **Defence Processing:** Each armor has a ''defenceProc'' method that can modify incoming damage based on its glyph

==== Base Armor Tiers ====
  * **Tier 1:** [[rpd:cloth_armor_item|Cloth Armor]] (tier = 1)
  * **Tier 2:** [[rpd:leather_armor_item|Leather Armor]] (tier = 2)
  * **Tier 3:** [[rpd:mail_armor_item|Mail Armor]] (tier = 3)
  * **Tier 4:** [[rpd:scale_armor_item|Scale Armor]] (tier = 4)
  * **Tier 5:** [[rpd:plate_armor_item|Plate Armor]] (tier = 5)

==== Available Glyphs ====
  * [[rpd:glyph_of_bounce|Bounce]] - Counter-attacks when hit
  * [[rpd:glyph_of_affection|Affection]] - Charms attackers
  * [[rpd:glyph_of_anti_entropy|Anti-Entropy]] - Buffs from cold, debuffs from fire
  * [[rpd:glyph_of_multiplicity|Multiplicity]] - Occasional duplication of attacks
  * [[rpd:glyph_of_potential|Potential]] - Generates energy when hit
  * [[rpd:glyph_of_metabolism|Metabolism]] - Heals from damage dealt
  * [[rpd:glyph_of_stench|Stench]] - Releases toxic gas
  * [[rpd:glyph_of_viscosity|Viscosity]] - Delays damage until next turn
  * [[rpd:glyph_of_displacement|Displacement]] - Teleports when hit
  * [[rpd:glyph_of_entanglement|Entanglement]] - Creates earthroot armor when hit

==== Technical Details ====
  * **Base Class:** ''Armor'' extends ''EquipableItem'' and implements armor-specific mechanics
  * **Class Armor Creation:** ''ArmorKit'' transforms any regular armor into class-specific armor with stats matching the original equipment
  * **Glyph System:** Glyphs are selected randomly when armor is generated, or can be applied using Arcane Stylus
  * **Strength Calculation:** ''requiredSTR = Math.max(typicalSTR() - level(), 2)'' where ''typicalSTR = 7 + tier * 2''
  * **Defense Calculation:** ''effectiveDR = tier * 2 + level() * tier + (glyph ? tier : 0)''
  * **Upgrade Behavior:** When upgrading glyphed armor, there's a chance to lose the glyph (higher level = higher chance of loss)

==== Content Verification ====
  * **Information Source**: ''com.watabou.pixeldungeon.items.armor.Armor.java'' (base class)
  * **Armor Tiers**: Defined by 'tier' property in each armor class constructor
  * **Class Armors**: ''com.watabou.pixeldungeon.items.ArmorKit.java'' transforms regular armor to class armor
  * **Glyph Mechanics**: Handled by armor's ''inscribe'' method in base Armor class and ''Glyph'' subclass implementations
