The Stardust Armor is a summoning based armor set. This set increases the player's max. minion count and minion damage. It is currently the highest tier Summoner armor in the game. When wearing a full set, a Guardian appears to follow the player. It can defend the player at close range, or be assigned to defend an area by pressing Down(Default:S) twice. It is also one of the four endgame Luminite sets, along with the Nebula Armor, Vortex Armor, and Solar Flare Armor. The Stardust Armor is a robe if you look closely.
Overview[]
The Moon Lord will need to be defeated at least 2-3 times to collect enough Luminite to craft this set. (Expert: 1-2, as the loot drop is larger).
The full set will cause a Stardust Guardian to appear and passively follow the player. It is activated by double-tapping the down button which places the guardian at the nearest block (platforms may count). He will attack enemies and create explosions dealing 20 summon damage, causing enemies to target him instead. He is a sentry-styled minion, therefore, he cannot be used to chase enemies. Holding the down button causes the guardian to return to the player. He also returns if the player goes too far from him.

Trivia[]
- The maximum number of minions one can spawn is eleven. This can be achieved by wearing a full set of Stardust Armor while equipped with Pygmy Necklace, Necromantic Scroll, Papyrus Scarab and is under Summoning Potion Buff and the Bewitching Table at the same time.
- The Guardian is considered a minion, though does not use a slot for either type of summoning slot, similar to the chlorophyte armor effect.
- The Guardian is altered by the same Dye slot as your pet, not the colors applied to the armor itself.
- Due to the massive amount of summons available to the player and decent protection, this armor (especially combined with summoning Accessories) may be the best farming armor in the game, as well as the safest with which to use the Drill Containment Unit. With a proper arena, a player may sit through a Solar Eclipse, Blood Moon, Martian Invasion, or Pirate Invasion without ever moving or firing a shot.
- The guardian lures nearby foes when placed. If summoned just above the player when being in the ocean, for example, he will lure sharks, dramatically reducing attacks to the player.
- The name of the armor as well as the guardian it spawns may be a reference to the stands from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
