“ | Samurai armor from a strange realm. | ” |
Yoroi is an armor core employed by samurai of the 343 clans of the Imperial Court in the Tenrai Fracture.[1][2]
Overview
- "The first Fracture for Halo Infinite is called "Tenrai," where blessed suits of YOROI are forged using ancient karakuri arts from the raw energies of the land—each hand-crafted for eager young samurai of unimpeachable honor to defend their clan and lands from the barbaric Covenant invaders."
- — Fracture: Tenrai Event Launch[2]
Specifications
The physical architecture of the Yoroi armor draws inspiration from its namesake, a Japanese armor named ō-yoroi, including characteristics like a large crest on the helmet, a neck guard made of curved plates, horizontal rows of armor plates on the arm shoulders, and the uwa-obi around the waist. The armor below the waist resembled the haidate, which were thigh guards that tied around the waist and covered the thighs. The Swordsman's Belt utility allows the user to fasten a small blade on the waist, with the handle on the wearer's right-hand side for use when grappling in close quarters.
