LEGO Fortnite: Does It Have Armor and How to Increase Defense
In Fortnite's LEGO rendition, survival is key as hostile mobs and creatures will attack you, reducing your health and potentially resulting in death and inventory loss. While there isn't a traditional concept of armor, you can boost your defense to minimize character respawn instances.
Understanding the Consequences of Death in LEGO Fortnite
When playing in a default settings world in LEGO Fortnite, an untimely death at the hands of an enemy results in losing your entire inventory. Players must navigate across the map to regain their items. Early-game experiences filled with repeated character deaths may prompt the necessity for increased defense and potentially protective gear such as armor.
Does LEGO Fortnite Have Armor?
No, in the traditional sense there is no armor in LEGO Fortnite. Unlike other RPG games, your chosen skin is the dominant factor dictating your character's appearance. However, you can increase your defense and health points, and craft and utilize a shield to counter enemy attacks.
Shield Crafting and Use
Shields provide additional protection for your character by blocking enemy strikes and thereby limiting damage.How to Increase Your Defense in LEGO Fortnite
Utilize the four available equipment slots in your inventory to apply stat-boosting items, including defense-boosting items like:
- Grey Health Charm: +1 Defense
- Green Health Charm: +3 Defense
- Blue Health Charm: +5 Defense
- Cool-Headed Charm: +5 Defense (Plus Heat Damage Resistance)
These items stack when equipped up to three of the same type, thereby increasing your overall defense.
How to Increase Your Health in LEGO Fortnite
In addition to boosting defense, increasing health allows for prolonged character survival in combat. Permanently increase health by equipping:
- Common (Grey) Health Charm: +1 Health
- Uncommon (Green) Health Charm: +2 Health
- Rare (Blue) Health Charm: +3 Health
- Cool-Headed Charm: +3 Health
Lastly, utilize temporary health boosts by consuming food items when available:
Once equipped with a grill to cook food, eat foods for temporary boosts to your hearts of up to two temporary hearts. Distinguish these lighter, peach-colored hearts from your base red hearts.
While LEGO Fortnite takes a different approach to character protection, by equipping and stacking stat-boosting charms, you can extend your character's in-game survival duration.
