====== Elf Armor ======

{{ rpd:images:elf_armor_item.png|Elf Armor }}

**Elf Armor** (also known as **Elven Mantle**) is a class-specific armor in Remixed Dungeon that can be obtained by using an [[rpd:armor_kit_item|Armor Kit]] on any regular armor while playing as the [[rpd:elf_class|Elf]] class.

==== Properties ====
  * **Type**: Class Armor
  * **Armor Class**: Medium armor
  * **Durability**: Standard for class armor
  * **Sprite**: Uses image index 17 with helmet

==== Special Ability ====
**Nature Call** - When activated, causes high grass to grow in a large area, immobilizing all enemies in sight and around the hero. This ability transforms the immediate environment to help the Elf avoid or control enemy movements.

==== Restrictions ====
  * Only the [[rpd:elf_class|Elf]] class can equip this armor
  * Other classes attempting to wear it will receive a warning: "Only elves can use this armor!"

==== Acquisition ====
  * Created using an [[rpd:armor_kit_item|Armor Kit]] applied to any regular armor while playing as the Elf class
  * Cannot be crafted directly, only transformed from existing armor

==== Strategy ====
  * Best used on high-tier armor that has been upgraded significantly
  * Preserves all enchantments and upgrades from the original armor
  * Allows the Elf to benefit from class-specific abilities while maintaining armor stats
  * The Nature Call ability is particularly useful for crowd control and creating escape routes
  * The ability can be used to block enemy access to valuable items or locations
