Lightning Empress Armor

Lightning Empress Armor is one of Erza's Scarlet armors.

Appearance
When donning this golden and light bluish armor, Erza’s appearance resembles that of an armored Greek goddess of sort. The breastplate is decorated by golden trimmings, and has thin plates going up to surround Erza’s neck; the similarly adorned pauldrons are composed of two plates one over the other, with the top ones each sporting a prominent protrusion. Similar protrusions, although less prominent, can also be seen on the armored gauntlets which cover the entirety of Erza’a arms; the greaves, on the other hand, possess matching protrusion on them, with a particularly large pair adorning the knee guards, but are instead composed of plates attached to simple, thigh-high boots with high heels. The armor lacks a waistguard, instead sporting a decorated cloth hanging down from the breastplate to cover Erza’s groin, sporting a single piece on the top front and three on the back, which are decorated by large spheres with fur-like ornaments hanging from them. When using this armor, Erza’s head gets adorned by a band with two ribbons on it, and her hair gets styled in a long braid. Also, the armor’s weapon of choice seems to be a long spear, with a very large blade and a decorated circle resembling a shield attaching it to the shaft, which is adorned by a large ribbon. All these features strengthen the Greek appearance of the armor.

Differences
n the anime, the armor underwent some minor changes, with the protrusions on it becoming more marked, prominent and numerous, her biceps and her back being exposed, and the plates covering the upper part of her chest disappearing in favour of a metal collar around her neck.

Special Features
Lighting Resistance: This is an armor that lowers the attack damage of all thunder attacks aimed at the wearer. Laxus Dreyar stated that it wasn't enough to stand his Lightning Magic; however, the single attack aimed at Erza in the anime did no damage to her.

Lighting Attacks: In the anime, Erza also states it is not just for defense, as she can also attack her foes with blue Lightning Beams using the equipped staff.
