Plated Armor (TCG)

Plated Armor were Rokugani armor made from iron plates. Also known as great armor, suits of plated armor were among the heaviest worn by samurai. Plated armor was composed of numerous small steel and leather plates connected by rivets, woven silk cords, leather straps, or chains. The plates were attached to a leather or cloth backing and worn over silk clothing, which provided added protection from piercing attacks thanks to its tensile strength. Plated armor frequently included a detachable face mask often made to resemble a demon or other fantastic creature, giving its wearer an intimidating presence on the battlefield.
