Final Fantasy Resonance Armor List: Stats, Shop Prices and Chest Locations

Square Enix released its RPG Final Fantasy Resonance on Steam for PC on 22 October 2026. Its body-armor roster contains 105 pieces across three categories: light armor, including jackets and vests, heavy armor, and robes. Every piece lists Phys. Def and Mag. Def; many also boost Speed, HP, or MP, or grant a passive effect. For explanations of those stats, consult the stats explained breakdown. The details below cover each piece’s stats, available shops, chest locations, and sell price.

Quick answer: Top defense is Mirage Vest (light), Crystal Armor (heavy) and Lordly Robes (robes). Early on, buy the Tunic (200 Gil) or Bronze Chestplate (300 Gil) in Mitra or Felicitas, and the Knight’s Jacket (750 Gil) in Felicitas.

Kind	Pieces	Highest defense
Light armor	38	Mirage Vest (Phys. Def 229)
Heavy armor	33	Crystal Armor (Phys. Def 259)
Robes	34	Lordly Robes (Mag. Def 217)

Seven pieces come from the Colosseum Quartermaster as prizes rather than from shops or chests: the Adamite Jacket, Arch Robe, Behemoth Suit, Crown Vest, Force Armor, Guardian’s Plate and Swallow Scales. Six more are found other ways: the Ancient Cuirass, Lorica Sancta and Lorica Apocalyptica are first-time rewards for Colosseum Rank Battles (Brawler Battle 5, Champion Battle 2 and Champion Battle 3), the Ancient Garment and Spell Jacket are Mysidia Radar hidden treasures, and the Ancient Cloak is sold by the Merchant Ship for 40,000 Gil from Chapter 6. Armor is only one part of a loadout, so pair this list with the weapons list and the accessories list.

Early armor picks

Your first real armor decision comes in Felicitas, and it’s an easy one for Lasswell. The Knight’s Jacket (Phys. Def 31, Mag. Def 28) costs 750 Gil at the Felicitas shops and gives him +26 Phys. Def and +25 Mag. Def over his Leather Armor.

Rain can save his Gil: he already has the Black Garb from Grandshelt Castle (Phys. Def 26, Mag. Def 23, Speed 8), collected during the Grandshelt Castle walkthrough. There’s no need to buy shop armor for him.

Fina stays in her Leather Robe. The shop armor available at this point lowers her Mag. Def and Sanctity, so swapping actually makes her worse. For how each of the playable characters fits into a party, check their individual breakdowns.

Selling armor

The Sell (Gil) column in every table above is what a shop pays you for that piece. Starter gear is worth very little, so don’t expect a windfall from clearing out early slots: Leather Armor sells for 20 Gil, and the Black Garb fetches 250 Gil.
