Tips

  • This set is a powerful hybrid between ranged and summoning styles. It offers higher offensive ranged bonuses than Chlorophyte armor and Hallowed armor, though not as high as those provided by Shroomite armor.
    • However, it also significantly boosts the damage output of both sentries and minions. When combined with the Necromantic Scroll and Papyrus Scarab, a player can have significant ranged damage boosts combined with, for instance, 3 boosted Xeno Staff summons. By the time the player obtains the Stardust Cell Staff or Stardust Dragon Staff, Red Riding armor can begin to significantly outperform Shroomite armor due to its summon damage.
    • As neither Shroomite armor nor Red Riding armor provides a very useful set bonus for a pure ranger, one can combine Red Riding armor with a headpiece from Shroomite armor to gain the highest bonuses. The Red Riding Dress is slightly weaker for pure ranged than the Shroomite Breastplate, but its large bonus to summon damage outweighs this disadvantage when using minions.
    • The Explosive Trap sentry summons, ordinarily a poor choice due to being stationary and slow, becomes far more powerful when using the full set. They attack much more rapidly, dealing damage faster than any other sentries within the same tier. Placing four of them around the player (or below, if flying) during moon events can help soar through the early waves.
  • The Red Riding Leggings' summon damage bonus is 3% higher than the Stardust Leggings'. However, the Stardust Leggings add two minion capacities in addition to the damage bonuses, which would lead to higher DPS for a minion summoner. The Red Riding Leggings provide ranged bonuses in addition to the minion bonus, which would likely be preferred for a mixed playstyle.

Trivia

  • The Red Riding Dress provides the highest ranged damage bonus in the game, and the Red Riding Leggings offer the highest summon damage bonus in the game. The Red Riding Leggings are tied with Mythril Greaves for the second-highest combined bonuses to ranged damage and critical strike chance, behind Vortex Leggings.
