The foundational defensive movement option is a directional dash.

Equipping three pieces of medium armor swaps the dash move for a roll.

Three light armor pieces turn the dash into a short teleport blink.

Three heavy armor pieces replace the dash with an offensive tackle.

Investing in stamina raises max health and defense in character progression.
