Revision as of 05:31, 21 November 2019

Before starting a new journey, players have to select an armor to create a new character. Each armor gives different effects.

Blueprints are required to unlock new armors and mostly found in Ancient Ruins of each level, but some can be found sold in the Vending Machines located in caves or by beating certain enemies. If one unlocked an armor but not yet unlocked the ability limited to that armor, one can view the armor but cannot use it.

Players can change their armor mid-run at the Shelter by stepping into the "Armor Capsule", costing 10 emeralds each time, or keep the current armor but choose a different ability, costing 5 emeralds each time.
