Armor | Wo Long Wiki

Armor in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty are pieces of defensive equipment that can be equipped by the player character to mitigate damage done by Enemies and Bosses in combat. Armor is divided into three main categories by their weight class: Light, Medium and Heavy. Lighter armor offers the least defense in exchange for more freedom of movement while heavier armor is bulkier and restricts movement while providing superior resistance. Within each weight class, Armor is further divided by the slots they are equipped in. Players can equip one piece of armor each for the Head, Body, Arms and Leg slots. Aside from defense, Armor can change a character's appearance and they can also have Special Effects much like Weapons and Accessories, which improve various parameters for the player.

All Armor by Sets in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

Each piece of Armor in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty belongs to an Armor Set. Pieces in the same set have the same aesthetic styling, weight class and share a common naming template. Sets are typically comprised of four pieces, one for each armor slot but some sets may have less.

 

 

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Armor Mechanics Overview

 

Armor Weight Classes, Equipment Weight and Encumbrance

Each piece of Armor is classified under one of three weight classes and each class is denoted with an icon:  Light Armor,  Medium Armor and  Heavy Armor.  This also corresponds to the actual Weight stat of each Armor piece.

Each Armor piece is assigned a Weight, with Light Armor weighing less but providing the least defense and Heavy Armor providing the most defense while weighing a lot more. Weight ties into your Max Equipment Weight which is the limit for how heavy your equipped Armor can be. Your Max Equipment Weight stat can be improved by investing points into Earth Virtue. The cumulative total Weight of your currently equipped Armor in each slot is calculated against your Max Equipment Weight as the Proportion stat. The heavier your equipment is, the higher the percentage of your Proportion stat which can negatively affect your maneuverability and Spirit Consumption.

 

When Overloaded when your equipment weight exceeds 100%, you will become unable to deflect, and dodge and Martial Arts Spirit consumption will greatly increase.

To summarize, in addition to slower, more expensive dodges, your Spirit consumption for Spirit Attacks and Martial Arts skills also increases the higher your encumbrance rate is. For example, the Glaive's Flying Dragon Martial Arts skill consumes 400 Spirit at the Low Encumbrance state, 500 Spirit at Moderate Encumbrance, and a whopping 600 Spirit at High Encumbrance.

While maintaining a Low or Moderate Encumbrance rate is ideal for most situations for the most agility, it is completely viable to play with a Heavy Encumbrance build centered around higher defense versus increased mobility. It is worth noting that for Martial Arts skills that have quick traversal components for closing the distance between you and your target or disengaging from opponents, the movement portion is not affected by your encumbrance state so you can still use these for nimble maneuverability even in the Heavy state.

Lastly, the Spirit Consumption rate for Wizardry Spells are not affected by Encumbrance state and some of these also have traversal components which can complement a Heavy build very well.
