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

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

Armory location

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