Gem Tech armor is a craftable post-Moon Lord armor set crafted from Exo Prisms, Galactica Singularities, and Cores of Calamity.
It consists of a Gem Tech Headgear, Gem Tech Body Armor, and Gem Tech Schynbaulds.
The full set grants 69 defense and a set bonus while equipped.
Set Bonus
Most of the stats provided by the Gem Tech armor are from the set bonus effect. Equipping the full set spawns 6 Trireme's Gems, which orbit around the player at all times.
| Gem | Effects |
|---|---|
 Yellow Gem
|
+45% melee damage, +26% melee speed, and +12% melee critical strike chance. Dealing melee damage to an enemy causes 7 gem shards to be released outwards from the enemy, which each deal 825 melee damage. The on-hit effect has a cooldown of 5.5 seconds, but holding a true melee weapon causes the cooldown to pass twice as quickly. |
 Green Gem
|
+50% ranged damage and +16% ranged critical strike chance. Dealing ranged damage to an enemy spawns  Gem Tech Flechettes from the player which aim towards the hit enemy.Flechettes deal 32% of the original projectile's damage with a softcap of 400. Up to 8 flechettes can exist at a time. |
 Violet Gem
|
+50% magic damage, +16% magic critical strike chance, and +100 maximum mana. Using non-magic weapons grants +8 mana regen. |
 Blue Gem
|
+72% summon damage and +4 maximum minion slots. Removes the summon damage penalty. |
 Red Gem
|
+50% rogue damage, +16% rogue critical strike chance, and +130 maximum rogue stealth. Using non-rogue weapons does not consume stealth. |
 Pink Gem
|
+75 defense, +12% damage reduction, +1 HP/s, +40% movement speed, and +8% jump speed. |
When all gems are present, hitting an enemy with any weapon grants +1 HP/s for 8 seconds. If the player switches to another class while this buff is active, they are granted an additional 0.5 HP/s for 2.5 seconds.
If the player takes more than 100 damage in a single hit, a gem is launched upwards and homes in on a nearby enemy. Launched gems deal 40,000 damage with the class type based on the type of the gem (Pink taking the average of all damage boosts). The type of gem lost is based on the previous class weapon that the player has held. If the player has not held a weapon with any of the 5 classes or held a weapon of the class with the lost gem, the base pink gem is lost instead. Gems do not grant boosts while they are lost and respawn 30 seconds after disappearing.
