Dragon armor is a top tier Hardmode (  ) melee armor. It consists of a Dragon Mask, Dragon Breastplate and Dragon Greaves.

On the  Old-gen console version,  Mobile version, and  3DS version, a full set grants 65 defense, 20% increased melee damage, 15% increased critical strike chance, 40% increased melee speed and 35% increased movement speed, but on the  Console version, the set is vanity. If the full set is visible, the player will have an afterimage, similar to Necro armor.

Each separate piece of Dragon armor has an 11% chance to be dropped by Ocram, or can otherwise be crafted. On the  Console version, the set can only be occasionally sold by the Traveling Merchant.

Note: The stat bonuses are exclusive to  Old-gen console,  Mobile, and 3DS.

Notes

• Unlike Mobile, Old-gen console and 3DS users will require a world with Cobalt and Mythril. If the player's world has Palladium/Orichalcum instead of Cobalt/Mythril, the player will either have to make a new world, or fish for Crates (creating a new world may be quicker than fishing for crates). You can also farm Ocram, as he will rarely drop each armor piece.
• On mobile, any of the pieces of armor required for crafting can be swapped out for their tier equivalent (Palladium for Colbalt, Orichalcum for Mythril, and Titanium for Adamantite).
• Despite the stats saying the critical hit rate are 15% for the mask and 10% for the breastplate, they are in fact 10% and 5% respectively. This means a full set only provides a total of 15% increase in critical hit rate rather than the listed 25%.

Tips

• Dragon armor is one of the best melee armor sets in the game, however it is outclassed by armor such as Beetle armor or Turtle armor in certain aspects, so this armor can be regarded as a situational item.
• Though it is a very effective melee set, the Turtle armor provides an extra 5 defense points, is easier to obtain, and the Thorns set bonus, which returns all of the damage taken by melee attacks back to the attacker.
• If you are willing to forgo the set bonus, the Beetle Scale Mail offers 8% increased melee damage and critical strike chance, and 6% increased movement and melee speed (with a positive change in defense), though is harder to obtain.
