NanoSuit Armor needs to be charged to have it negate damage. A full set will negate nearly all damage done to the player, though Nano Sabers can do damage to a player wearing NanoSuit Armor, and the armor has to have charge remaining to work properly (at least 32 EU/t). A full suit of NanoSuit Armor includes the NanoSuit Helmet, Body Armor (Not chestplate), Leggings , and Boots . The Boots act as Rubber Boots. In the future, each piece of armor will have its own special ability. It is also used in crafting the QuantumSuit Armor set, also has some resistance to fall damage.
The combined EMC value of the ingredients required to craft a full set of NanoSuit Armour is 56, 321. Interestingly this is much cheaper than the inferior full diamond set, which costs 196,608 EMC to make.
