Shade Master's armor
80 
Shade Master's armor is a craftable Hardmode Thrower armor set crafted from Dark Matter. It takes a total of 36 Dark Matter to craft a full suit.
It consists of a Shade Master's Mask, Shade Master's Garb and Shade Master's Treads.
The Shade Master's Mask gives 14 defense, 20% increased throwing damage, 33% chance not to consume thrown items, and increases maximum Technique Points by 2; the Shade Master's Garb gives 20 defense, 15% increased throwing damage, 10% increased throwing speed and 30% increased throwing velocity; and the Shade Master's Treads gives 16 defense, 20% increased throwing damage, 20% increased throwing critical strike chance and 15% increased movement speed.
A full set provides a total of 50 defense, 55% increased throwing damage, 10% increased throwing speed, 30% increased throwing velocity, 20% increased throwing critical strike chance, 15% increased movement speed, 33% chance not to consume thrown items, and increases maximum Technique Points by 2. Its set bonus causes half of the damage that the player receives from a hit to be taken over time every second over 10 seconds, instead of being immediately dealt. This staggered damage is indicated by a cloud of smoke along the player's legs. The set also causes a small pulsating effect around the wearer and emits an after-image effect while moving.
