Notes
- The Shellfish minions are the same minions summoned by the Shellfish Staff.
- The set bonus also grants 4 minion slots. However, these slots are used to summon its Shellfish minions, resulting in no net gain in minion slots for the player.
Tips
- This armor can be paired with the helmets of Adamantite and Titanium armor for the strongest offensive stats possible while avoiding the dash and sprinting reduction from the set bonus.
- The armor set's large decrease to movement speed can make it difficult to use for fast-paced boss fights such as The Twins.
- The player should choose another accessory to replace the Hermes Boots (or their upgrades), since this armor's set bonus largely negates their sprinting effect.
- Certain items such as Asphalt Blocks, Harpy Wings, Sunflowers, Swiftness Potions, and Vital Jelly can be combined to combat the movement speed reduction.
Trivia
- The armor set and its minions resemble the Giant Clam.
