Nebula armor is a Hardmode, post-Moon Lord mage armor set consisting of the Nebula Helmet, Nebula Breastplate, and Nebula Leggings. Crafting the full set requires a total of 36 Luminite Bars (144 Luminite) and 45 Nebula Fragments.

The full set grants the following effects while equipped:

  • +46 defense
  • +26% magic damage
  • +16% magic critical strike chance
  • +60 maximum mana
  • +15% mana cost reduction
  • +10% movement speed
  • Grants a chance for special booster items to spawn upon striking enemies with magic weapons. Each booster provides a buff, indicated by the booster orbiting the player. Boosters of the same type can stack with each other up to 3 times. Boosters expire after 8 seconds and the buff decreases by one level. Boosters can float in the air and have a greater pickup range than normal.
    • The boosters are not tied to the armor, so any player can pick up the booster items, even if they are not wearing the armor set.
    • In multiplayer, picking up a booster item will grant nearby teammates (within a 43.75-tile radius[1]) the buff. Players without a team will give the buff to all nearby players.

Notes

Sparks float around the character when they bear Nebula armor's buffs.
  • The Mana Booster, unlike natural or other sources of mana regeneration, will restore mana while using weapons that use mana.
  • There is a probability of 1/3 (33.33%) to yield a booster each time a player hurts an enemy, with a cooldown of 0.5 seconds.
  • The following enemies cannot yield boosters: Bubble Shield, Tesla Turret, Martian Drone, and Ancient Doom.
  • In addition to increasing its respective stack, picking up a booster will also refresh its duration.
  • Like all armors made from Luminite, equipping Nebula armor makes the player give off light, in this case purple. The more pieces equipped, the brighter the light is.

Tips

  • Due to its increased defense, positive damage bonuses, and extremely high-potential health regeneration, this armor set outclasses both Spectre armor variants offensively while providing survivability close to that of the Spectre Hood.
    • Additionally, the Moon Lord's Moon Bite debuff will not stop the Life Booster from working as it increases passive health regeneration, unlike the Spectre armor with Hood, which gives instant health restoration.
  • The Celestial Magnet does not increase the pickup range of the boosters, unlike the Treasure Magnet(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), since the game treats the boosters as items, not as Stars.

Trivia

  • The sprites of the boosters before they are picked up strongly resemble the Nebula Fragments that are needed to make the armor.
  • In real life, a nebula is a diffuse interstellar cloud of ionized gases. They are often hotspots of star formation.

    • Restricted buff boosters so that only magic damage spawns them (previously all types of projectile damage, including minions, did).
    • Increased sell value from no value to 31 GC50 SC.
