Diamond Armor is the main armor in Pit Sandbox: a diamond helmet, chestplate and boots whose Protection level is upgraded at Marcus. The leg slot is for Mystic Pants instead.
Obtaining
- New players receive a Protection I set in the Starter Kit.
- Marcus's Armor Upgrades menu has a free Beginner's Armor button that gives a Protection I helmet, chestplate and boots at any time.
- Diamond Armor is kept on death.
Protection
- Each Protection level on a piece reduces the damage you take by 2.5%. The item's lore shows the total for that piece, for example "Protection IV (-10% damage)".
- The three pieces add up: a full Protection VII set reduces damage by 52.5%.
- Your prestige limits the Protection level that counts. A piece above your limit shows the extra levels crossed out in its lore.
| Prestige | Highest Protection that counts |
|---|---|
| 0–16 | II |
| 17–23 | III |
| 24–37 | IV |
| 38–53 | V |
| 54–74 | VI |
| 75+ | VII |

- Runes are applied to Diamond Armor through Runecrafting.
- If the piece has a rune on it, each upgrade has a 30% chance to destroy the rune. Shiny runes are never lost.
Chestplate abilities
From Prestige 24, a Diamond Chestplate at Protection IV or higher can get one special ability. Right-click the chestplate in the Armor Upgrades menu to choose it. A chestplate can only have one ability.
| Ability | Effect | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Counter-Offensive | Gain Speed II for 4 seconds on every 4th hit you take. | $4,950,000 and 32 Moon Stones |
| Fabric of Divinity | 10% chance to keep your Jewel item lives when you die. | $49,500,000 and 32 Inventory Beacons |
| Remarkable Resilience | Take 15% less damage while you have absorption hearts. | $495,000,000 and 32 Dark Matter |
Adding an ability has the same 30% chance to destroy a rune on the chestplate.
Diamond Infusion
Diamond Dust infuses Diamond Armor for a little extra defense. Hold it and right-click, then pick the helmet, chestplate or boots you are wearing.
- Each Diamond Dust adds 10 to 20 charge to the piece. Filling the piece's bar raises its Infusion level, up to V.
- Each level needs more charge than the last: 100, 300, 800, 2,000 and 5,000.
- Each Infusion level reduces the damage you take by 0.5%, up to 2.5% per piece and 7.5% for a full set.
- Diamond Dust comes from store deals.
