Sprites Revamped and Reimagined Armour

[Inkplasm]

So alot of pre-hardmode armours have had the same basic stats and sprites since they were introduced. So here's a reboot

***BOLD TEXT MEANS A NEW ADDITION***

Shadow Armor - The Corrupt Assassin

Defense: 19
Stats: +21% Melee speed
Set Bonus: +15% Movement Speed
Press DOWN to sneak for slower movement but +25% melee damage

Crimson Armor - The Bloody Samurai

Defense: 19
Stats: +6% Melee damage
Set Bonus: Greatly increased life regen
Revenge buff - Repeatedly hitting the same enemy gradually increases damage up to +5%

Jungle Armor - The Floral Magician

Defense: 17
Stats: +80 Mana
+12% Magic Crit Chance
Set Bonus: Reduces mana usage by 16%
Creates a weak leaf crystal that shoots 3 damage petals at a slow rate

Necro Armor - The Undead Ranger

Defense: 16
Stats: +15% Ranged Damage
Set Bonus: 20% chance not to consume ammo
Allows bows and guns to be charged with right-click for 2 seconds to fire a triple damage projectile

Molten Armor - The Flaming Barbarian

Defense: 25
Stats: N/A
Set bonus: +17% Melee damage
Melee attacks inflict On Fire!

Hope you guys enjoyed these sprites and suggestions

Hmm... I like a lot of these! But here are a few criticisms-

- The Jungle Armor is a bit too pink it kinda ruins the plant-like effect.
- I think the Necro and Shadow Armor sprites are fine as is.
- The stealth thing is only for rangers and wouldn't make sense for the Shadow Armor.

But other than that, this is a pretty cool suggestion and I like these bonuses! (Maybe buff the Jungle Armor bonus to 6 damage or something)

-Yeah, I had some problems redesigning the jungle armor, originally I was going to have a venus flytrap going around the neck but it was pretty hard to sprite
-Thank you!
-The Psycho Knife is a melee weapon and allows sneaking

Okay, about that Psyco Knife thing, that is just the gimmick of the weapon. I'm just saying that it shouldn't be a thing for armor. And also, in pre-hardmode, 5% damage means almost nothing. because of the low damage weapons.

This is amazing, now to just hope you do some for the regular tier armors, and hardmode armors.

Sprites are ok looking, but I don't think they really need revamped, new armors are always a plus though and always a great item for things that should be added to the game.

 

[Mister Creeper]

That Molten Armor looks freaking awesome! :O

 

[ArmegeddonCraft]

the original sprites definitely looked kind of bland and generic, and these new sprites look way better. though I have one criticism with the new shadow armor sprite. the helmet has a bit of an odd shape. it seems a bit to long. maybe bring it up a bit?

I'll try to, I resize my sprites to a larger size most of the time

The Shadow Armor is now fixed ;p

I think all of these are very great and imaginative but the Jungle armor should have less flowers.

 

[Mister Creeper]

I do think the shadow armor looks a bit too bright, after all, it is called "Shadow" Armor. Maybe make it a bit darker?

Maybe make these as Alternate versions and abilities for armor? Combine Ancient + Normal versions of the armor = these buffed up versions? Bee Armor should be a rare drop from bees.
