Tide Turner armor

Tide Turner armor is a craftable post-Moon Lord armor set crafted from Ocean Essence. It takes a total of 10 Ocean Essence to craft a single full suit, or 13 Ocean Essence if you want to craft one of each headpiece. It is currently the best melee or Thrower set available.

It consists of a Tide Turner's Depth-Guard and Tide Turner's Depth-Walkers as well as two different headpieces: the Tide Turner's Depth-Helmet and Tide Turner's Depth-Crown. Note that only one of the headpieces may be equipped at once but both will trigger a set bonus with the body and legs.

The Tide Turner's Depth-Helmet gives 42 defense, 12% increased melee damage, damage taken reduced by 15%, life regeneration is increased by 5 and produces globules every 5 seconds that orbit the player and provide 5% increased defense each, up to a maximum of five orbs; and the Tide Turner's Depth-Crown gives 18 defense, 40% increased throwing damage, a 50% chance not to consume thrown items, increases maximum Technique Points by 2, throwing damage inflicts the Granite Surge debuff to hit enemies and produces globules every 0.5 seconds that orbit the player and each cause the next attack to deal extra damage if it does not critically strike, up to a maximum of five orbs. The Tide Turner's Depth-Guard gives 22 defense, 15% increased melee and throwing damage, 10% increased melee and throwing speed and 16% increased melee and throwing critical strike chance; and Tide Turner's Depth-Walkers gives 20 defense, 10% increased melee and throwing damage, 20% increased melee knockback and throwing velocity and 30% increased movement speed.

A full set always provides a total of at least 42 defense, 25% increased melee and throwing damage, 10% increased melee and throwing speed, 16% increased melee and throwing critical strike chance, 20% increased melee knockback and throwing velocity and 30% increased movement speed in addition to any stats given by the particular headpiece. When wearing the Tide Turner's Depth-Helmet, its set bonus will trigger the Ocean's Buffer buff for 10 seconds when the key is pressed, enveloping the player in an impervious bubble that turns incoming non-lethal damage into healing; this ability also inflicts the Exhaustion - Ocean's Buffer debuff on the player for 60 seconds, preventing special abilities from being used again until the debuff is over. If the Tide Turner's Depth-Crown is worn, its set bonus gives throwing damage a 20% chance to unleash homing tide daggers all around the wearer. The set also causes a small pulsating effect around the wearer.
