The Armor Tome is a defensive Tome in Megabonk that increases a character’s total Armor. Higher armor reduces the damage taken from enemy hits, making it an essential option for tanky and survival-focused builds. It is not available by default and must be unlocked by fulfilling specific conditions.

Overview

Stat: Armor
Base upgrade per level: +12%
Max level: 99
Category: Defensive Tome

Effects

Each level grants +12% Armor.
Damage taken from all sources is reduced proportionally.
Particularly valuable when combined with other forms of sustain such as Regen Tome, Shield Tome, and Bloody Tome.

How to Unlock

Unlock requirement: Kill 5,000 enemies as Sir Oofie.

This makes it one of the Tomes that requires a specific character to farm enemies in order to obtain.

Synergies

Shield Tome: Armor reduces damage taken to Shield allowing it to last longer before breaking and taking HP damage.
Thorns Tome: Taking less damage per hit allows you to make much better use of high Thorns damage.
Regen Tome / Bloody Tome: Armor reduces damage taken, making every point of health restored proportionally more valuable.
Cursed Tome: High difficulty increases the damage enemies deal. Armor helps mitigate this added threat significantly and can allow you to recover from what would otherwise be run ending mistakes.

Strategy Tips

Best suited for defensive or hybrid builds that prioritize survival.
Effective in long boss fights where incoming damage is sustained over time.
Useful for beginners struggling with survivability before mastering dodge mechanics.
Investing heavily in Armor Tome can sometimes reduce the need for constant evasive play.

Notes

Armor reduction scales linearly per level, but its real effectiveness depends on enemy DPS and how often you take hits.
Works best when combined with sustain or mitigation, rather than as a stand-alone defensive layer.
