Despite encasing the user’s body, the armor has no apparent affect on the user’s speed or agility. The armor is shown to be able to defend from all forms of blunt-force trauma. At the same time, it enhances enhance the user's strength to strengthen offensive strikes and break free or through restraints and walls.
