Dragon armor is a Hardmode melee armor set consisting of the Dragon Mask, the Dragon Breastplate and the Dragon Greaves. Each separate piece of Dragon armor has a 1/9 (11.11%) chance of being dropped by Ocram, or can otherwise be crafted.

A full set of Dragon armor provides the following benefits:

+60 defense
+20% melee damage
+15% melee critical strike chance
+38% melee speed
+35% movement speed

Additionally, if the full set is visible the player will have an afterimage, similar to Necro armor.

Notes

Cobalt and Mythril Ore is required to craft the set. If the player's world has Palladium/Orichalcum Ore instead of Cobalt/Mythril, they will either have to create a new world or fish for crates (creating a new world may be quicker than fishing for crates).
Despite the tooltips saying the critical strike chances are 15% for the mask and 10% for the breastplate, they are in fact 10% and 5% respectively. This means a full set only provides a total of 15% increase in critical strike chance rather than the listed 25%. Also, the tooltips say that they give X% critical strike chance, which suggests that they give universal critical strike chance, despite them only giving melee critical strike chance.

Tips

Dragon armor is one of the best melee armor sets in the game, however it can be outclassed by Beetle or Turtle armor in certain aspects, so this can be regarded as a situational set.
Though it is a very effective melee set, the Beetle armor (Scale Mail) provides an extra 1 defense, is easier to obtain, and has better melee bonuses than Dragon armor.
Due to the immense difficulty of obtaining the armor, it is wise to get only the Dragon Mask (due to it being the best helmet for melee both offensively and defensively) and use the Beetle Shell and Beetle Leggings in place of the Dragon Breastplate and Greaves for maximum defense and respectable melee bonuses. The exact bonuses are listed below:
- +76 defense
- +20% melee damage
- +15% melee critical strike chance
- +21% melee speed
- +650 aggro
- +6% movement speed
