Drops
Possessed Armor drops nothing in the game's drop rules.
Animated hollow plate mail prowling hardmode nights
Possessed Armor is a suit of cursed iron plate mail that roams the surface at night once Hardmode begins. Marching forward with 260 life and 28 defense, this disembodied warrior lacks flesh or organ vulnerabilities. Its heavy metallic gauntlets swing for 55 base contact damage, overwhelming players whose gear has not yet been upgraded past pre-Hardmode standards.
Overcoming heavy knockback immunity with armor penetration
What makes Possessed Armor particularly dangerous to newly awakened Hardmode players is its high resistance to knockback. Standard swords and arrows fail to push it backward, allowing it to march steadily through player attacks without interruption. Utilizing weapons with high base damage, armor penetration, or status ailments like Cursed Flames halts its steady march. In Master mode, its durability climbs to 780 life with 165 damage.
Trivia
- Possessed Armor has substantial knockback resistance, allowing it to advance through continuous hits.
- It begins spawning immediately on the surface upon entering Hardmode.
