All of the Shadow Armor's effects, including the Rocket Boot's purple flames.
Shadow armor is an armor set that consists of the Shadow Helmet, Shadow Scalemail, and Shadow Greaves. The individual pieces provide a total of 19 defense, equal to its Crimson counterpart, Crimson armor.
On
Desktop,
Console, and
Mobile, each of the 3 pieces provide a +5% boost to universal critical strike chance (for a total of +15%). Wearing all 3 pieces at once grants a 75% increase to acceleration and deceleration, and a 1.15× multiplier to the player's maximum movement speed.
On
Old-gen console and 3DS
, each of the 3 pieces provide a +7% boost to melee attack speed (for a total of +21%), while wearing all 3 pieces at once grants an additional set bonus of +15% movement speed.
Wearing a full set causes the player to display an afterimage effect during motion (similar to Necro armor), emit shadow particles, and will cause the Rocket Boots to emit purple flames (this does not occur with Spectre Boots or any of its derivatives).
Crafting a full set requires a total of 60 Demonite Bars (180 (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) / 240 (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Demonite Ore) and 45 Shadow Scales. Defeating the Eater of Worlds twice can provide enough to craft a full set.
Shadow armor pieces are interchangeable with pieces from the Ancient Shadow armor set, while still providing the same 15% increased movement speed set bonus, but not the afterimage effect.

Notes
- The set bonus is still given if Shadow armor and Ancient Shadow armor are mixed. However, the visual after-image effect that comes with either set will not be given.
- The set bonus gives the exact same movement speed bonuses as Magiluminescence(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), but also being active in mid-air.
- Unlike other sources of movement speed, Shadow armor's set bonus affects the top speed of sprinting accessories and wings.
Trivia
- Despite requiring the fewest resources to craft, the Shadow Helmet sells for the most.
