Samurai Plate

Samurai Plate (also called Samurai Armor or Eastern Armor) is the traditional body armor worn by samurai warriors.
In Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, the Samurai Armor offers +20 Defense and also +3 Attack and Strength. This is 5 more DEF than War Fatigues. It is 3 less DEF than a Soldier Uniform provides, but one more ATT and STR.
In Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, the Samurai Plate does not give an offensive boost, but increases other stats. It grants Jonathan Defense +35, along with Constitution and Mind +10. While it does not have as much Defense as the Platinum Plate (+45), its CON and MND boost can make up for the difference.
The Eastern Armor can be created by adding Ancient Memory and Spirit of Fuji to a Lamellar. This increases the Lamellar's Defense from 12 to 15 and adds a 5 Constitution boost. The Eastern Armor can be further evolved to a Brigandine by adding a Knight's Vein, which causes it to lose its CON boost and gain 1 point of Defense.
