I don't think so, since I mainly used that armor with the soup against one of the creator's forms, although it's hard to tell in the midst of a battle. I mostly wear the Krotite armor, and have never noticed any change with the dual form shots.

I think the Krotite armor is purely cosmetic. I wish the suits were more useful. :(

Alpha, does the Arnassi suit actually do anything? The description says so, but I never noticed any difference and neither have you apparently. Looks like you've been digging through the scripts for these things?

I mostly used the Krotite armor to that end, I just think it fits the late-game atmosphere pretty well. I would like to see it have some other effects, but I sincerely doubt the dual form-shot thing.Even if it is true it wouldn't be that useful, besides for dealing with the occasional baddie who refuses to get absorbed. It's kind of hard to aim with the touchpad, especially when you've got nautiluses to be running away from. Maybe someone will make a mod to make these things be more than just eye-candy.

Oh, right, yeah the Arnassi costume does something too, I just NEVER use it.
It makes you go twice as fast on a seahorse. I've just tested it out over a long piece of track, and without it took 5 seconds and with it almost took 3 seconds, so I'd say it's a bit less than twice as fast. You can definitely notice this when on a seahorse with the costume, because you swim faster than in fish form.
Er, after going through a script there is a value of 3.5 when not wearing the costume and 5.5 when you ARE wearing the costume, I was pretty close.

On the crab + defence, I tried the same thing as last time. I used Chomper, the big orange piranha that looks where you are, then suddenly dashes towards you.
He normally damages you with exactly 3.2. (in script)
With only Crab armour he damages me less than 2.5. (I let him attack me twice, I was still alive)
This means that the multiplier is in fact not 1.25, but 1.3 or higher.
3.2/1.25=2.56, 2 hits of those and I'd be dead.
3.2/1.3=~2.46, 2 hits of these and I'm alive.
3.2/1.4=~2.29, 2 hits of this and I'd have half a health left, which I really didn't, as so, 1.3 it is, seeing I don't think Alec would take weird random comma numbers.
And with Crab armour and plump perogi +2 defence put me up with less than 1.25 damage. (after 4 hits I was still alive.)
With only the +2 Defence he got about a third of my health, after 3 hits I was still alive, so I'd say exactly 1.6 damage

We can conclude from this that the +2 defence halves the damage you gets. 2x defence multiplier.
And also that crab armour still keeps your defence. 1.3 multiplier.
I also think that the food first halves the damage, and then the multiplier of the crab armour, not both added together.

I haven't tried food with +1 defence, but I suppose that's a 1.5 defence multiplier.
God sees and knows everything, but at least he won't gossip about it.

Special armors don't work in other forms but the normal one. Well, that's simple. I use Jelly armor, it heals you whenever your healths is considered 'critical' (yellow or red). It does so only in the normal form.

We've... already concluded that and this thread is about a half year old.
Please read through a topic before answering, or at least the first two or three posts. ^^

I know. I searched for this topic, then I found out about that myself. It was just a... simpler confirmation.

As Horrid as it is, I love the Crab armor. Still have to defeat king jelly for the other.
