Steal hero

Learn all about armor in Core Keeper! Discover stats, set bonuses, and where to find every piece from Peasant to Scarlet. Your ultimate guide to staying safe underground.

Hey there, new adventurer! So you're looking to beef up your defenses in Core Keeper? Smart move. This guide is all about armor – what it does, the different types you'll find, and how to get your hands on them. Think of armor as your second skin down in the depths, helping you shrug off those nasty hits from the creatures lurking about. What Does Armor Do? Basically, armor reduces the damage you take. Simple as that! Some pieces also give you other handy stat boosts, like more health or better dodge chances. The really cool part? Many armor pieces come in sets. If you equip all the pieces of a set (usually a helm, chestplate, and pants), you'll often unlock a special set bonus that gives you even more power. Where Do You Find Armor? Armor can pop up in a few ways: * Crafting: You'll need to gather materials and use crafting stations like the Basic Workbench or the Copper Anvil. * Enemy Drops: Some tougher enemies might drop armor pieces when you defeat them. Keep an eye out! * Chests and Crates: You'll find random armor pieces in Wooden Crates and other containers scattered around. Types of Armor There are tons of armor sets and individual pieces to discover. Let's look at a few early-game examples: * Peasant Armor: This is likely the first armor set you'll encounter. You can find pieces from Digging Spots, Wooden Crates, and by defeating smaller enemies like Medium Slime Vessels, Large Slime Vessels, Caveling Skirmishers, Caveling Spearmen, Big Larvas, and Big Hive Larvas. It gives you a decent chunk of armor and a chance to dodge attacks. * Wood Armor: A step up from Peasant gear. You'll need Wood to craft this at the Basic Workbench. It boosts your max health and armor. * Copper Armor: Crafted using Copper Bars at the Copper Anvil. This set offers more health and armor than Wood armor. * Ranger Armor: This is a specialized set for ranged attackers. You can get pieces by defeating Glurch the Abominous Mass or finding them in Wooden Crates. It boosts your health, armor, and crucially, your ranged damage, attack speed, and critical hit damage. If you get the full set, you'll even pierce an extra target with your projectiles! Important Note: The source text provided doesn't contain information about a 'Steal hero' mechanic or character.
