| 👍 Hallowed armor | 👎 Turtle armor | |
|---|---|---|
Defense | ⚔️ Higher defense Hallowed armor provides a higher defense compared to Turtle armor. Hallowed armor set has a defense value of 45, while Turtle armor set has a defense value of 65, making it significantly better for physical protection. This additional defense can be crucial in tough battles and provide extra survivability. | ⚔️ Lower defense Turtle armor, despite being a late-game armor set, actually has lower defense compared to Hallowed armor. Its defense value of 65 is lower than the 45 offered by Hallowed armor, making it less effective in protecting the player from damage. This can be a significant drawback in challenging battles where survivability is crucial.

Set Bonus | ✨ Powerful set bonus The set bonus of Hallowed armor provides immunity after striking an enemy and increases the maximum number of minions. This set bonus can be extremely helpful in various combat situations, allowing players to deal damage while remaining immune to incoming attacks. Moreover, the increased number of minions can provide additional support and damage output. | ✨ Limited set bonus Turtle armor's set bonus reduces damage taken by 15% and reflects 100% melee damage taken. While these bonuses have their merits, they are relatively limited compared to the set bonus of Hallowed armor. The damage reduction is not as significant as the immunity provided by Hallowed armor, and the reflection of melee damage only applies to melee attacks, leaving the player vulnerable to other types of damage.

Flexibility | 🔧 Multiple playstyle options Hallowed armor offers melee, ranged, magic, and summoner set versions, providing versatility for players who prefer different playstyles. This allows players to optimize their armor choice based on their preferred weapons and combat style. Each set version also comes with its own unique bonuses, enhancing the effectiveness of different weapons and abilities. | 🔧 Limited playstyle options Turtle armor is primarily focused on melee combat, with no alternative set versions for different playstyles. This lack of versatility can be a disadvantage for players who prefer ranged, magic, or summoner playstyles, as they would be unable to fully exploit the benefits of specialized armor sets. Players using Turtle armor may be at a disadvantage in certain combat situations that require different approaches.
|
Availability | 🌟 Obtainable earlier in the game Hallowed armor can be crafted and obtained relatively earlier in Hardmode, following the defeat of mechanical bosses. This makes it more accessible to players who have progressed to that stage in the game. Obtaining Hallowed armor allows players to significantly boost their defense and combat abilities, providing a substantial advantage in subsequent challenges and boss battles. | 🌟 Requires defeating all three mechanical bosses Turtle armor is only available after defeating all three mechanical bosses, which can be a more challenging task compared to obtaining Hallowed armor. This requirement may delay the player's access to better armor and leave them more vulnerable to tougher enemies and boss encounters. Players may face a longer period of relative weakness before being able to obtain Turtle armor.
|
Crafting Materials | 🛡️ More accessible crafting materials Crafting Hallowed armor requires a variety of materials that are more easily obtainable, such as Hallowed Bars and Souls of Fright, Might, and Sight. These materials can be obtained from a range of creatures and events in Hardmode, making them more accessible to players. The availability of these materials increases the likelihood of acquiring the armor set earlier and progressing their character's strength and capabilities. | 🛡️ More demanding crafting requirements Turtle armor has more demanding crafting requirements, requiring hard-to-obtain materials such as Turtle Shells, which are dropped by Giant Tortoises in the Hardmode Jungle biome. The drop rate for Turtle Shells is relatively low, making the acquisition process potentially time-consuming. This can delay a player's progress in obtaining and utilizing the armor, especially if they have limited access to the necessary biome or appropriate gear. |
