When it comes to armor it’s all about the attributes. Style and creativity are a plus, but you want the best chance of survival against the Arch-Iliger’s army. The armor in Minecraft Dungeons gives you all of this and more. When starting the game armor can be found when you go through your quest, either along the way in special supply chest, or after defeating mini bosses. You also have a chance to be rewarded on completion of a quest. Each armor has its own attributes specific to that armor piece. For example, the Wolf Armor it has both health and weapon bonus damages. 

Wolf Armor grants +209 Health and a 20% weapon damage boost aura. Additionally, health potions heal nearby allies.

Most armor has at least two or three attributes, this does not include enchantments. You can enchant armor and other gear by spending points gained from leveling up in the game. Each level of enchantment requires double the amount of points until maxed out. You cannot combine multiple of the same armor to create a stronger one, however you can salvage armor and other gear. When you salvage an item, along with emeralds, the points used to enchant are returned to you for use on other gear. 

Certain armor is more likely to be found in specific areas. You may also get the same armor multiple times, however the level of the armor and its attributes may be different. These are some of the types of armor you will see in the game but there are plenty more types of armor and gear to be discovered. Choose the best one to get you through the battles ahead.
