A list on the best armour sets in Terraria. Keep in mind they DON'T need to have the best stats. They can be judged based on there appearance and overall usefullness in the game.

The Top Ten Terraria Armour Sets

Oct 05, 2014 Meteor armor has a combined defense rating of 16 while Crimson armor has a combined defense rating of 19. Crimson armor also accelerates health regeneration when combined so it would have been the better choice. Hm, must of misread it, thought meteor was better.

Hallowed Armour

Armour is spelt correctly. 'armor' is the American version, 'armour' is the proper English version.

The armour set I have kept the longest. Cool appearance and each of the pieces of armour give a boost to the 3 main styles of fighting (Melee, Magic and ranged). Very useful whatever your playstyle. - Erikelelf

Bull nebula or solar should be here

Best armor ever

2Meteor Armour

Acceptable since meteor armour gives infinite mana to the space gun and generally easy to get since it can be made as the 3rd armour set - BelganIPancake

What idiots voted for this?! The space gun isn't even good, and even in pre hard mode you can use a mana flower to continuously refill other better weapons like water bolts and demon scythes - Thicc_Neeson

My favourite pre-hardmode armour. Quite easy to get as long as you are careful and it makes you look really cool. Gives you flame particles when walking and also makes a powerful magic gun at that point in the game cost 0 mana. - Erikelelf

What is this? Meteor Armour is bad in both pre-Hardmode and Hardmode

Palladium Armour

If you don't think this armour is pure badass you must be blind. The rapid healing buff it provides is a LIFESAVER! - Erikelelf

The palladium has save me a bunch

It's pretty good.

This is new to me so now i,all try this thing out in my Xbox 360. This should heal me and probably win the second hardmode boss. PLEASE BE TRUE4Frost Armour

I don't know why frost is on here cause frost burn effect ain't that great I've defeated every boss and it's a no no

Who knew mushrooms were so powerful and made you look like a robot? - Erikelelf

Looked cool, gives like 105 defense, and flows bright orange. What's better than that?

Pared with the Solar eruption is can be op... to anything...
Like, actually anything that isn't named 'Dungeon Guardian' - Sync

The coolest looking pre-hardmode armour you can get in my opinion. Quite hard to make though. - Erikelelf8Spectre Armour

Coolest armour, especially the hooded version. Decent defense, and life steal effect.

Coolest out of all the end game armours though they aren't that useful since you've beaten all the bosses. - Erikelelf

I think spectral Armor is good is if you like to use mana and the defense is decent.

Spectre armour is OP-especially against the pumpkin moon and frost moon - xin0009Beetle Armor

Pretty op but it is hard to get when you have not disabled traps and it kills you when you are getting it

One of the first armours you can get that will take a lot of mining. Helmet is very cool. - Erikelelf

The Newcomers

the best armour in the game I one shot moon lord with any thing. and you get to look amazing!

The Contenders

Really good especially if you have defeated the brains of cthulu a few times in a crimson world that will give you around 150 ore I did it twice and had two stacks of bars so I recommend going for this is you are fairly new with at least gold set

Great life regen and strikes fear into the hearts of your enemies. - Erikelelf12Turtle Armor

I just love this armor. It aids me in all my boss fights, even the moon lord! It has such great defense no matter what prefix- even BROKEN wooden armor is amazing! I feel sorry for those who don't have this amazing item, I wish everyone could share the great experience those with wooden armor could. People who can't are really missing out!

Usually the first armour set I get. Really easy to get and makes you look like a juggernaut. - Erikelelf

Best armour for ranged class just combine it with phantasm and you will become a lunar archer

Vortex armor is second best armour in the game.(PC). It can be double tap DOWN to toggle stealth, increasing ranged ability and reducing chance for enemies to target you but slowing movement speed. Defense total are 62. If plus all accessories with warding will be at 90 or 95. Using ironskin potion and food for improving minor to all stats

Pair it with mana cuffs, a mana flower and a weapon like the last prism or the nebula weapons (Or even Betsy's Wrath! ), and you become nothing short of a god

Because It's So amazing and beautiful its solar flare helmet had a 24 defense and his solar flare breastplate had 34 defense and solar flare leggings had 20 defense

It is of course the best armour even does the best melee armour is weaker than the last prism I don't play pc version but I have knowledge. The best thing is that you can dash with it and the time when enemy touch you they get burn

I have the molten armor ithe is the best prehardmode armor I play on xbox 360 and it's so easy to get22Spectral Armor

Very useful in Console, as it outperforms Spectre armor, and gives you great damage, defense, mana amount, and mana use reduction. This is a need for mages, and when you combine it with a blizzard staff, which you can have hogh damage, and use it for a long time because of Mana amount and mana use reduction.

Adamantite armor is great when fighting the destroyer. It puts your defense up and
Damage

I vote for adamtite because it's strong helps your melee damage I recommend this if you use melee weapons. I use it because with all my accesorys it gives me 60 defense hope this helps!27Pumpkin Armor

SUPER STRONG, this is like end game stuff, wood armor is already op enough and this upgrades wood! THis armor is super OP, the OPNESS is real for pearlwood and this armor just carries me through all my boss fights, this armor gives you melee, ranged, and mana/Mage class, VOTE FOR THIS, BECAUSE THIS IS OPNESS! THIS TRUMPS ALL29Titanium Armour

I love how it gives the little buff particles. They help you and your team. Mage class is OP if you use this. Its also really cool.

I love the way this looks, and it happends to be the best mafe armor in the game. It also drops buffs whenever you attack enemies. Does require beating Moon Lord, though.32Ancient Spectre Armour

It may be pink but it gives a lot of defense (46 defense)
Flower pedals can help you defeat possesed armor and other post-hardmode enemies
SWEET!36Necro Armour
