The Molten Armor set consists of:
Molten Armor is the next tier of armor after Necro Armor, Jungle Armor, and Shadow Armor. It is crafted with Hellstone Bars. The set has the same particle effect as Meteor Armor, in which flames are created as the player moves. As of version 1.0.6, the flames no longer provide light to see by. Molten Armor is the strongest armor in pre-hardmode.

Notes
- Whether this is the best armor before Hardmode is activated is debatable; Jungle Armor is better for mana usage, Necro Armor is better for players using ranged weapons, but Molten Armor is better for players who want to take lots of hits, due to its higher defense rating and melee boost.
