Shells in TUSG.io

Shells are armor by damage type: physical, fire, ice, magical and poison resistance. The right shell against the right enemy is the cheapest 30% damage reduction in TUSG.io.

Every wearable drops with a power level from 1 to 10; its stats scale linearly with power, so a power-5 item gives exactly half the values below. Higher-level monsters and boss kills roll better power.
