Special Ability use

The Hardlight armor is a Hardmode armor set crafted from Cyber Plating.

It consists of Hardlight Plate and Hardlight Boots, as well as four different headpieces: Hardlight Helm, Hardlight Visor, Hardlight Cowl, and Hardlight Hood.

The Hardlight Plate provides 15 defense and 10% increased damage.

The Hardlight Boots provides 13 defense, 5% increased damage, and 10% increased movement speed.

• The Hardlight Helm provides 22 defense, 13% increased melee damage, and 5% increased melee critical strike chance.
  Its set bonus is activated by pressing Special Ability Key, and it summons 2 Microships Mk.I that orbit around the player for 13 seconds before leaving. Every time the player hits an enemy with a melee attack, the Microships will fire a Mini Laser at them, dealing 25% of the held weapon's damage. The Mini Laser cannot pierce through blocks or enemies.

• The Hardlight Visor provides 14 defense, 13% increased ranged damage, 5% increased ranged critical strike chance, and +10 Energy regeneration.
  Its set bonus is activated by pressing Special Ability Key, and it places a Crosshair on the enemy closest to the cursor. Shortly afterwards, 6 SoS Missiles will be launched from above, homing in on the Crosshair's position. SoS Missiles deal 400 damage and will explode upon hitting an enemy or after 5 seconds. If no enemies are currently on screen, nothing will happen and a message "No targets found!" will be displayed above the player.

• The Hardlight Cowl provides 16 defense, 13% increased magic damage, 5% increased magic critical strike chance, and +50 max mana.
  Its set bonus is activated by pressing Special Ability Key, and it summons a Mana Drone Mk.I that stays close to the player for 11 seconds before leaving. The Mana Drone constantly switches between active and recharging states, each lasting 4 frames. During the active state, the Mana Drone will restore 25 mana per frame, and during the recharging state it will do nothing.

• The Hardlight Hood provides 13 defense, 13% increased summon damage, and increases max number of minions by 2.
  Its set bonus is activated by pressing Special Ability Key, and it summons an invincible Energy Magnet Drone Mk.I and two invincible Missile Drones Mk.I, which behave identically to their enemy counterparts. Missile Drones fire up to 4 Drone Missiles, each dealing 242 damage, before leaving. Energy Magnet Drone possesses a Surge field that absorbs hostile projectiles and fires a Magnet Beam, with its damage and size depending on how much damage was absorbed by the field, capped at 800. The Magnet Beam will not be fired if less than 10 damage was absorbed.

Using the Special Ability Key will always afflict the player with the SoS Cooldown debuff, preventing the use of the set bonus for 1 minute. The debuff will not be inflicted if the player uses the Hardlight Visor's set bonus without any enemies on screen.

A full set always provides at least 41 defense, 15% increased damage, and 10% increased movement speed.
