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 extends shield life by reducing incoming damage before HP is lost.
• Thorns Tome: Taking more hits while being tanky lets you reflect more consistent damage.
• Regen Tome / Bloody Tome: Armor slows down damage intake, giving regeneration and lifesteal more time to restore HP.
• Cursed Tome: Increased enemy density pairs well with extra durability, allowing you to survive waves that would overwhelm glass-cannon builds.

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.
