Effect
What Plating does
Reduces incoming contact damage.
Plating is a level-up pick that raises Armor for the rest of the run. Every further pick adds another level, up to 60; rarer offers grant more per level.
Per level
Plating by rarity
| Common | +2.5 pts Armor |
|---|---|
| Uncommon | +3.5 pts Armor |
| Rare | +4.5 pts Armor |
| Epic | +5.5 pts Armor |
| Legendary | +7 pts Armor |
Luck — from Fortune or the Censer — shifts your offers toward the rarer rows.
Fit
Who Plating is for
Plating acts on your hero rather than on one skill, so it fits every build. Melee heroes who stand in the horde get the most out of it.
Timing
When to take Plating
Take it when the horde starts landing hits — usually around the first minibosses. One defensive potion early buys the time your damage needs to scale. Out of slots? The Thorn Archive on each floor’s plaza removes a potion, and the Diamond Trader sells extra potion slots.
