Armor is one of the types of items in the game that a player can equip on their knight in order to have some sort of combat effect in the field. The vast majority of armor items in the game grant benefits, with many having penalties and weaknesses to balance their benefits.
The player must pick and choose which gear to equip for certain areas. Some items are better than others in some places, and far worse than other items in other places. There is no single "best" armor in the game due to the variety of scenarios the player may encounter in the clockworks. A few things to understand about armor:
The player can obtain armor in a variety of ways, including crafting, trading with other players, and purchase from NPC vendors.
The player can heat (a.k.a level up) equipped armor by wearing it in the clockworks and getting onto an elevator, so long as heat was picked up. Forging the armor increases its level. Leveling can increase Health Pips. Heating is required for most items to be crafted into the next star level. Not all items can be upgraded all the way to 5-star - see the alchemy path information on individual pages.
If the player desires a more versatile armor, and/or doesn't wish to expand their arsenal, they can take the armor to Punch and grant it additional defenses, for a price, via Unique Variants. Rarely, an armor can gain a UV (1-3) when it is crafted. UVs obtained are random unless locked in at Punch.
Abilities and Penalties are separate from status properties. For example, the Chaos Cloak certainly has status "penalties," but its abilities are universal CTR and DMG Med. Compare to the Armor of the Fallen, which has a Fiend penalty in junction with its universal ASI Low boost. Abilities are generally unrelated to status when it comes to defensive gear.
Below is a list of armor items.

Limited Gear
Some items have limited acquisition. These items cannot be traded between players.
They are very much in the game, but they are unobtainable via trade, crafting, and so on, and are not included in the main comparative lists.
Every player gets to choose one spiral armor and helm, only once.
