1. Armor Types

These are basic armor protection levels. The higher the armor level, the greater the protection. However it limits other abilities, like spell casting, movement, etc. Having lighter armor can allow faster movement and for more complex movement and more advanced physical techniques. Remember, higher the number doesn't mean better all around.

1.1 Armor Lv Zero

All armor permutations are removed, with only the base armor left. Appearing to look like skin, it provides the least amount of protection, but gives a unique trade off. This option allows for the most magic augmentations. Spell casting is the most devastating at this level as there is no interference from the Suit.

Examples:

• Spell Caster
• Zero Suit Samus

1.2 Armor Lv One

A light amount of armor is worn. At least some is preferred for someone who wants to make a hasty rush to get up close and personal. The maximum power of spell casting is limited to a degree, so using magic alone is traded off with being slightly more durable.

Examples:

• Rush down
• Ninja

1.3 Armor Lv Two

A standard armor set. The entire body is covered in light to medium armor. This provides an energy signature that interferes with natural energy, as a result, using magic is difficult an requires more focus to execute. It provides a balance of normal speed, normal protection. It's still light enough to allow for hand to hand techniques but is considered the most rounded.

Examples:

• Fighter
• All Rounder

1.4 Armor Lv Three

Advanced protection is provided to the Arsenal Suit. This can withstand more damage, but at the same time has become cumbersome. To move unhampered in this armor requires a lot of physical training. Though more cumbersome, close quarters combat is still handy in this set as the weight of a simple punch or kick is enough to hurt someone. Physical strength augmentations may be added. Physical movement boost units can be used to provide bursts of speed.

Examples:

• Heavy Fighter
• Master Chief

1.5 Armor Lv Four

Heavy armor permutations cover the entire body. This provides the highest defensive capabilities of any armor set. It however it is very cumbersome, making any movement very slow. The user will have a difficult time utilizing any cover unless it can cover their entire profile while standing up. This armor set is capable of using physical strength augmentations to help wield HMGs and all manner of heavy weaponry. Physical movement boost units can also be used to give yourself a chance to dodge any attacks.

Examples:

• Mech
• Late game Samus Aran
