The '''heavy armour''' is a recurring suit of armour in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series that first made its appearance in [[Dragon Quest VI]]. It is an enormously large set of unpolished, beaten metal plates that protects the wearer against fire and ice damage due to the thickness of the material used. As a consequence, the armour lives up to its name and can only be equipped by the largest and strongest characters—another result is that the suit is astoundingly uncool looking and will drop the style and charm of anyone who wears it by a considerable degree.

==={{DQ7}}===

The heavy armour has the same parameters as in the previous game: it can be equipped by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|Hero]], [[Ruff]], [[Sir Mervyn]], and [[Aishe]]. Heavy armour can be purchased in [[Providence]], [[Nottagen]], and [[Rucker]] Castle for 9,500 gold and sold for 4,750. It can also be won as a prize from the Lucky Panel at the [[Casino]].

==={{DQ8}}===

The heavy armour has a defence bonus of +52, and negates 15 points of breath damage. Only [[Yangus]] can wear it, and it can be bought for 5000 [[Gold]] Coins in [[Argonia]] once the bazaar starts. It can be upgraded into [[bandit mail]] in the [[Alchemy Pot]] by combining it with a [[bandit axe]] and [[bandit's grass skirt]].
