Armor are pieces of equipment worn by player characters to protect themselves in battle. Games may have a single or multiple types of armor for characters to equip during gameplay. While pieces of armor typically raise an ally's defense stat, some grant extra protection against certain elemental attacks or status effects while others boost many stats such as intelligence or agility. Like weapons, armor is usually bought in stores, but can also be found in chests, monster drops, or by completing certain quests.
