Armlet Properties

The armlet's name and a brief summary of its defensive properties, characteristics, or special effects.

Price

The amount of Gil required to purchase the armlet from a shop.

Materia Slots

The number and arrangement of Materia slots available on the armlet. Connected slots allow compatible Materia to be paired with Support Materia.

Defense (DEF)

The armlet's Defense value, which increases the character's physical defense and reduces damage received from physical attacks.

Defense %

The armlet's physical evasion value, which contributes to the character's chance of avoiding physical attacks.

Magic Defense (MDEF)

The armlet's listed Magic Defense value. In the original PlayStation version, a programming bug prevents this value from being added to the character's Magic Defense during battle, making it ineffective.

Magic Defense %

The armlet's magic evasion value, which contributes to the character's chance of avoiding certain magical attacks and effects.

Growth

The rate at which Materia equipped in the armlet gains AP. Armlets may provide Normal, Double, or No Growth.

Steal From

Enemies from which the armlet can be stolen during battle.

Morph From

Enemies that can be transformed into the armlet when defeated with the Morph command.

Enemies that may drop the armlet after being defeated.

Equipping Effect

Any additional attribute changes, elemental properties, status protections, or special effects applied while the armlet is equipped.

Equipping Effects

Max HP

Magic (MAG)

Affects the power of offensive magic, restorative magic, and other abilities that use magical damage or healing formulas.

Dexterity (DEX)

Affects how quickly the character's ATB gauge fills. It also increases physical evasion and contributes to the accuracy of physical attacks.

Luck (LCK)

Affects critical-hit chance and the game's special lucky hit and lucky evade calculations.
