Armors

Armor

TerraTyping gives armors types that can be both beneficial in some environments and a hindrance in others. Without any armor equipped the player has a base type of Normal. Having a full set (Armor that does not have a full set does not have a type.) of one armor will grant you the types of the armor that is equipped. Using a Weapon that is of the same type as the equipped armor set will grant the Weapon, STAB (Same Type Attack Boost) and deal additional damage.
