Demonshade armor is a craftable post-Moon Lord developer armor set crafted from Shadowspec Bars. If the full set is visible (whether equipped or in social slots), the player emits afterimages and purple dust while moving.

It consists of a Demonshade Helm, Demonshade Breastplate, and Demonshade Greaves.

The full set grants the following effects while equipped (this includes the set bonus):

  • +150 defense
  • +45% damage
  • +100% summon damage
  • +30% critical strike chance
  • +25% melee speed
  • +30% movement speed
  • +200 maximum health
  • +200 maximum mana
  • +10 minion slots
  • +2 HP/s and +400% natural life regen speed while standing still and not using items
    • Additionally, grants a 30-second headstart for natural life regen if the player has been naturally regenerating for at least 0.66 seconds.
  • 10x the contact damage that enemies deal to the player is reflected back to them.
  • When damaged, shadowbeams and demon scythes rain from the sky
    • Shadowbeams deal 3,000 typeless damage, and scythes deal 5,000 typeless damage.
  • Summons a Red Devil to protect the player, firing fast tridents that pierce twice and deal 10,000 typeless damage, which scales with summon damage bonuses.
  • Pressing Armor Set Bonus inflicts the Enraged debuff to nearby enemies and the player for 10 seconds, tinting enemies red and causing them to take 2.25x damage but deal 1.25x damage to the player.

Notes

  • Pressing Armor Set Bonus while currently enraged will refresh the duration of the debuff to the player, but it does not refresh the duration of the debuff to nearby enemies.
  • The boosted health regeneration from the Demonshade Breastplate is overridden by the effects of the Shiny Stone. However, it overrides the effects of Cosmic Freeze, Photosynthesis, and the Honey Dew line.
  • The natural life regen boost from standing still in honey sets the lower bound of the lifeRegenTime variable to 1800 if it exceeds 40 and increases by 4 additional per frame. This effectively quintuples natural life regeneration rate and provides a headstart of 30 seconds if the player has been naturally regenerating for at least 0.66 seconds.

Tips

  • Although it comes after Auric Tesla armor in game progression, in some aspects it is inferior, as it lacks lifesteal, stealth, and a revive.
    • As a result, players with stealth-focused rogue builds should use Auric Tesla armor instead.
    • Demonshade armor can be considered an offensive alternative to Auric Tesla armor, focusing on dealing massive damage at the cost of survivability.

Trivia

  • The Red Devil summoned by this armor set can only be disabled by having the Cosmic Plushie equipped.
  • The Enraged mechanic is a reference to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, specifically to the Jetstream Sam DLC where taunting enemies causes them to enrage, both taking and dealing more damage.
  • This armor actually has a unique rarity but is referred to here as Hot Pink for consistency between items.
    • This unique rarity alternates between orange (#FF8416 ●) and dark orange (#DD5507 ●) colors.
