List of the armor in
Final Fantasy XII .
Characters equipped with
one-handed weapons can equip a shield in their available hand. Shields add to
evasion and
magick evasion , and sometimes provide beneficial status effects or additional elemental resistance.
Even with magick evasion, shields never block status effect spells.
Shield Block
augments add +5% to both physical and magickal evasion per augment
purchased (as long as the shield provides both; if a shield only offers
physical evasion the augment boosts affect only that). Some enemies have
Ignore Evasion as a passive ability, which makes using shields
pointless. The player can gain the same ability by equipping the
Cameo Belt .

Light Armor
Light armor is the most basic of the armor types. It generally offers
moderate defensive bonuses and HP boosts, the latter of which can be
maximized by using the
Bubble spell or equipping a Bubble Belt.

Heavy Armor
The strength bonuses offered by heavy armor make it ideal for the
player's frontline fighters, as most of the heavy damage dealing weapons
factor in strength when calculating how much damage will be dealt to
the enemy. The player will most likely choose light armor in the
beginning of the game, as it offers important HP boosts.
However, as the game progresses and the player gains access to the
Bubble
spell and the Bubble Belt accessory, HP becomes less of a concern and
reducing the amount of damage taken by the characters becomes more
important, for which the player will most likely choose the defense and
strength bonuses of heavy armor.
It should be noted that there is a magnetic field during the battle with
Vinuskar in the
Stilshrine of Miriam , which will severely slow down characters wearing metal armor, not to mention Vinuskar casts
Slow , making charge times for those characters excruciatingly long. This also happens in the battle with
Ultima , but the chance of the magnetic field coming about is random (it really goes into a pattern, check the
boss article for better info), in addition Ultima does not cast Slow, meaning this not much of a concern during her fight.

Mystic Armor
Mystic armor offers magick-related bonuses, such as MP and magick
power boosts. These have a significant effect on all types of magickal
actions, from casting black magick to damage an enemy to casting white
magick to heal the party. Magick power is also a factor when determining
damage dealt by katana, staves, and maces.
