The Gi is an armor item that can be equipped in the shirt slot. It provides 4 defense along with a 5% damage and critical strike chance boost to weapons. It also provides a 10% melee and movement speed increase. It is purchased from the Traveling Merchant for 2 GC. The Gi will visually cover up what is equipped in the pants slot.

Tips

• The Gi gives a wide variety of damage bonuses, making it more potent than many other pre-Hardmode armors. If the player values damage over defense, and does not want a set bonus, then they can use the Gi with a helmet and leggings from another set. This, combined with the fact that it is obtainable very early, makes it a very powerful piece of armor.
  • This is especially potent for early-game Melee and Ranged damage, as the Gi provides more damage than any other chest piece for both classes before Molten or Necro armor, even taking set bonuses into account.

Trivia

• A gi or keikogi (稽古着 or 稽古衣) is a traditional uniform worn for training in Japanese martial arts.
