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.

• Light Armor: Higher mobility but less protection
  • Cloth Armor - Basic armor (Tier 1)
  • Leather Armor - Mid-tier light armor (Tier 2)
• Medium Armor: Balanced protection and mobility
  • Mail Armor - Balanced protection (Tier 3)
  • Scale Armor - Higher protection option (Tier 4)
• Heavy Armor: Maximum protection but reduced mobility
  • Plate Armor - Maximum protection (Tier 5)
• Specialty Armor: Class-specific or unique armor
  • Class Armor - Mastery armors (GladiatorArmor, BerserkArmor, etc.)
  • Chaos Armor - Special variant
  • Gothic Armor - Guts DLC armor
  • Spider Armor - Special variant
  • Rat Armor - Special variant

• 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

• Glyphs: Armor can have special magical properties added via 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 Armor Kit on any regular armor - grants special subclass abilities (e.g. Gladiator, Berserker, Warlock, etc.)
• Defence Processing: Each armor has a defenceProc method that can modify incoming damage based on its glyph

• Tier 1: Cloth Armor (tier = 1)
• Tier 2: Leather Armor (tier = 2)
• Tier 3: Mail Armor (tier = 3)
• Tier 4: Scale Armor (tier = 4)
• Tier 5: Plate Armor (tier = 5)

• Bounce - Counter-attacks when hit
• Affection - Charms attackers
• Anti-Entropy - Buffs from cold, debuffs from fire
• Multiplicity - Occasional duplication of attacks
• Potential - Generates energy when hit
• Metabolism - Heals from damage dealt
• Stench - Releases toxic gas
• Viscosity - Delays damage until next turn
• Displacement - Teleports when hit
• Entanglement - Creates earthroot armor when hit

• 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)
