Spectral armor is a top-tier Hardmode () magic armor set. On Console, the Spectral set is vanity, offering no defense or bonus. The set consists of the Spectral Headgear, Spectral Armor, and Spectral Subligar.
The Spectral armor has a non- exclusive counter part being Spectre armor as they are both obtained post-Plantera. Spectral armor is available pre-Plantera as it is possible to summon Ocram pre-Mechanical Bosses, but it is not suggested.
On the Old-gen console version, Windows Phone version, and Nintendo version, a full set grants 40 defense, 150 increased maximum mana, 30% increased magical damage, 33% reduced mana use, 10% increased movement speed, and 25% increased magical critical strike chance.
Each separate piece of Spectral 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.

Trivia
- The Spectral Subligar was the only item in the game to increase a player's Mana by an amount not divisible by 20. (This was changed as of the 1.2 Console update.)
- Currently, the Spectral set is tied with the Diamond Robe + Magic Hat in maximum mana increase.
- The Spectral armor's shirt is called Spectral Armor, which can lead to some confusion when discussing the armor with other players. Magic armor sets usually have a breastplate or robe for the shirt slot.
- Wearing the Spectral Headgear, the Diamond Robe and the Spectral Subligar can increase your maximum mana by 230, the highest known amount.
- Spectral armor is the only Ocram dropped armor that is comparable to its non-
exclusive counterparts (based on stats alone.)
