Dragon Dance Armor

The **Dragon Dance Armor** is one of the Armor Mounts that can be found in the game.

## How to acquire

The player must develop the Dragon Dance Armor on the Design Table in the Workshop first, with the cost of 1 Dragon Dance Armor blueprint (dropped from Nian) and **1500**. Once developed, it can be found during a run, or forged in the Robotics Facility in Workshop.

Alternatively, it randomly spawns and can be acquired for free during CNY Updates (and has a mediocre chance of spawning).

## Usage

While dismounted, Dragon Dance Armor will not take any damage from hostile sources.

Press the Action Button  when near the Dragon Dance Armor to equip it, and use the Dismount Button  to unequip.

While the armor is equipped:

* Skills cannot be used.
* The Dragon Dance Armor has 1 defense, meaning it takes 1 less damage from all sources.
* The Dragon Dance Armor cannot be healed with Potions or Priest's skill. The only way to heal it is to pass through Portals.
* Normal weapon slots will be replaced by the armor's weapons.

This mount comes with two weapons:

* **Bite:** Deals a bite attack, while lunging forward. Deals 10 damage and does not cost energy. This attack is melee-based and can deflect enemy projectiles, if the buff is active.
* **Rocket Fireworks:** Shoots a homing explosive firework that deals 12 damage and may cause Burn, costs 4 energy.

It is one of the 2 Armor Mounts that cannot be upgraded by the Mount Merchant.

## Recommended Buffs

* Accuracy Buff - Increases the accuracy of the rockets.
* Pet Buff - Increases health to 12.
* Fire Buff - Increases Burn damage.
* Melee Range Buff - Increases attack range of Bite.
* Reflect Buff - Reflects bullets with Bite.
* Energy Orb Buff - To cope with the high energy consumption of the rockets.

## Trivia

* The Chinese literation says "舞狮装甲," which means "Lion Dance Armor."
* When equipped, the eyebrows of the armor move up and down.
* When the armor is set to ranged mode, the arms will point at the moving directions, whereas they keep a fixed pattern in melee mode.
* At first, it was only available for Update 1.6.0, and Update 2.0.0. They are the Chinese New Year updates.
	+ If players get the blueprint, it can be forged or bought afterwards.
		- This is possible during Update 2.0.0, or when Nian appears in  condition, or Boss Rush Mode.
* When first introduced, it had 12 health, which cannot be restored, and could be mounted during battle.
	+ Also, the Rocket Fireworks would cost 5 energy and dealt 14 damage.
	+ A glitch may occur that a player already in an armor can mount a second one. In this case, the first armor will have no use other than reducing speed, and will be removed upon entering next level.
* This is currently the only armor mount that can be obtained for free (aside from Engineer's second skill's temporary mount). Monster mounts used to also be unobtainable without paying some gold but can now randomly spawn in cages.
* When it was returned in Update 2.0.0, it had 7 health.
* The Dragon Dance Armor is the only developed item that was hidden in the Design Table until its blueprint was found.
* When destroyed, a sound of wood/plastic cracking can be heard.
