Squire's Greaves

Balanced leg plate defense and martial agility

Sold by the Tavernkeep for 15 Defender Medals after defeating any mechanical boss in Hardmode. These armored greaves yield 18 defense, 15% summon damage, 15% melee critical strike chance, and 15% bonus movement speed. They form the lower defense of the Squire set with Squire's Great Helm and Squire's Plating, balancing resilience, footwork, and martial force.

Heavy ballista piercing and frontline crowd control

When the full set is active, Ballista sentries gain the ability to pierce up to 7 enemies per bolt while taking damage triggers the Ballista Panic fire rate buff. Combining 18 defense with balanced offensive and mobility bonuses gives melee summoners the survivability needed to hold defensive positions. Planting Ballista Cane sentries effectively eliminates marching enemy columns during event invasions and underground explorations across early Hardmode without risking close-range ambushes.
