Astral armor is a Hardmode armor set crafted from Astral Bars and Meteorite Bars. If all three pieces of Astral armor are visible (whether equipped or in vanity slots), the player will have afterimages following them.

It consists of an Astral Helm, Astral Breastplate, and Astral Leggings.

  • 63 defense
  • 35% increased damage
  • 25% increased critical strike chance
  • 15% increased movement speed
  • +80 max mana
  • +20 max life
  • +3 max minions
  • The effects of Dangersense, Hunter, and Spelunker Potions (danger, creature, treasure, and ore detection)
  • With a 1-second cooldown, critical hits will cause three stars - Astral, Fallen, Bee Cloak, or Star Cloak stars - to rain down on the target that deal 120 damage.
    • Fallen stars decrease their damage by 6.25% each time they strike an enemy.
    • Astral stars pass through tiles and inflict the Astral Infection debuff for 2 seconds.

Notes

  • Stars are only generated from enemies that have a damage stat of 5 or higher, with the exception of enemies spawned from statues.

Tips

  • This armor has significantly lower bonuses for the summoner class relative to other classes, as summoners cannot benefit from critical strike chance increases. This results in the stars not spawning.
  • However, due to the high damage boost, minion slots and movement speed increase that this armor provides, it can still be efficient, especially for hybrid builds.
