The world of LEGO Fortnite has many dangers and equipping yourself with the best armor and weapons available can increase your chances of survival.
For newcomers and even some veterans, there are some features and mechanics that are quite useful in letting you stay in one piece. In LEGO Fortnite, armor comes in the form of craftable charms and totems instead of clothing like what is seen in other survival games.
These charms and totems are then equipped onto your character so that you get the benefits of the bonuses that they provide. In this guide, we help you learn how to increase your defense, hearts, and stamina so you can travel the world without too much worry.
Understanding Charms
The first thing you need to know is that charms have three main uses; increasing the amount of hearts your character has, decreasing the amount of damage you take, and adding other buffs, according to VG247.
These buffs include things like weather resistance as well as free revives, which are useful in a wide range of scenarios.
In the early stages, charms are not that obvious in the power that they provide but later on, you will most likely be looking out for stronger ones whenever you can.
Making Armor
If you want to get more armor and have extra hearts, you need to equip charms and totems to your character. These items are crafted using a crafting table using recipes that become available as you upgrade your bench.
In LEGO Fortnite, you can equip up to three armor charms and the effects of the same kind will stack together, meaning you can get the same three charms and benefit from them all.
Early on, having defense charms is very useful to surviving much longer throughout your explorations.
Getting More Hearts
Next up is getting more hearts, and the first thing you see is that you start out with only three at the beginning of the game. There are two main ways of increasing your heart count, which are by eating Food and using Health Charms, said Video Games.
A Health Charm is arguably the best way of increasing your hearts in LEGO Fortnite as with every upgrade, it adds more and more and even increases your defense. At the highest level, you get five more hearts and 14 more defense.
Increasing Your Stamina
Last but not least is your stamina, which is sometimes an overlooked mechanic in most survival games. A player's stamina level determines whether or not they safely perform various actions, such as gliding or swimming.
Currently, there is no permanent way of increasing the rate at which your stamina regenerates but there are certain foods that will offer a temporary boost. These will also briefly increase your character's stamina levels.
Some of the foods that you can use include Slap Berry, Slap Juice, Corn on the Cob, Fried Egg, Pumpkin Pie, and Fruit Pie, according to GameRant.
