Armor does more than make Flynn look like a soldier or a knight. The clothes you choose affects Flynn’s five stats – strength, technique, demon, speed, and luck. Technology affects gun attacks and skill. There are four kinds of armor in Shin Megami Tensei IV. Helmets can boost your status, HP or MP. Upper body armor cam boost resistance, HP, or MP. Lower body armor can increase your status, HP or MP. Accessories increase HP, MP or have other special effects.
