Gothic Armor

Gothic Armor is a heavy tier 6 plate armor providing the highest physical protection in the game. It represents the pinnacle of dwarven smithing.

• Tier: 6
• Absorption: Up to 12 damage per hit
• Required Strength: 19
• Weight: 20
• Durability: 100

Gothic Armor is a masterwork of plate armor craftsmanship. Its overlapping plates and fluted design provide exceptional protection against physical attacks. The armor's high absorption makes it invaluable for tanking damage, but its weight and strength requirement limit its use to the strongest heroes.

• Damage Absorption: Reduces incoming physical damage by up to 12 points per hit
• Upgradeable: Can be upgraded with \[\[\1:scroll_of_upgrade_item|Scrolls of Upgrade]] to increase absorption
• Degradation: Armor loses effectiveness as it takes damage
• Repair: Can be repaired with \[\[\1:scroll_of_repair_item|Scrolls of Repair]]

• Helmet Included: Provides head protection (coverHair: true)
• Maximum Protection: Highest base absorption of any standard armor
• No Class Restriction: Can be worn by any class meeting strength requirement

• Ideal for tank builds and melee-focused characters
• High strength requirement (19) means it's typically a late-game acquisition
• Weight (20) limits other equipment choices
• Best paired with weapons that don't require high strength themselves

• Can be found in shops on later floors
• Sometimes appears in treasure rooms
• Rare drop from certain enemies
