== Shields ==
== Common armor ==
In general all characters except Umaro can equip a given shield, although there are a few exceptions (i.e. Gau may equip only certain shields).
Armor parts that can be worn by all 13 characters (Umaro is excluded).
Equip the Tortoise Shield to any Imped character for beautiful results.
 
{|{{prettytable|sortable=1}}
The '''Kappa armor set''' is the most powerfu in the game, but it can be only worn by characters in "Imp" status ("Kappa" in the original).

== Head ==
 
Helmets have a variety of status effects and are often particular to a certain set of characters.
== Wizard armors ==
{|{{prettytable|sortable=1}}
All these parts can be worn by '''Relm''' and '''Strago''', who are the best magic users in the game. Many of them can be worn by '''Tina/Terra''' and '''Celes''', who have innate magic abilities.
 
On the other hand, none of them (or almost none) can be worn by '''Edgar, Cayenne/Cyan, Setzer''' and '''Umaro''', who are some of the strongest physical fighters.

Wizard armors

All these parts can be worn by Relm and Strago, who are the best magic users in the game. Many of them can be worn by Tina/Terra and Celes, who have innate magic abilities.

On the other hand, none of them (or almost none) can be worn by Edgar, Cayenne/Cyan, Setzer and Umaro, who are some of the strongest physical fighters.

Heavy armor sets

All these armor parts can be worn by Tina/Terra and Celes, who are the most all-round characters. Almost all of them can be worn by Edgar, Cayenne/Cyan and Setzer, who are some of the strongest physical fighters.

Almost none of them can be worn by the wizards Relm and Strago, nor by the mimic Gogo nor the monk Mash/Sabin.
