Overview
Bio Armor is a primary power set for Tankers and a secondary power set for Brutes, Scrappers, Sentinels and Stalkers.
"Your body is shielded by an incredibly durable Bio Armor that evolves based upon your environment. You are also able to siphon genetic data from your foes to empower yourself and well as shift from a Defensive, Offensive and Balanced form. Bio Armor provides good damage resistance and defense, a fair amount of regeneration and a good number of offensive/debuff power options."

Powers
Ablative Carapace
When needed, you're able to cause your Bio Armor to gain a thick, but brittle outer layer that will absorb a large amount of damage before breaking off. Ablative Carapace will grant a moderate amount of damage absorption and a high amount of regeneration for a short time. While Efficient Adaptation is active, this power grants a slightly larger regeneration buff. While Defensive Adaptation is active, this power grants a bonus to damage absorption.

Adaptation
By purchasing this power you gain access to three mutually exclusive toggle powers: Efficient Adaptation, Defensive Adaptation and Offensive Adaptation. If Defensive Adaptation is active you gain improved damage resistance from Hardened Carapace and Evolving Armor, additional defense from Environmental Modification and Evolving Armor, and increased Maximum HP from Environmental Modification and Inexhaustible. If Offensive Adaptation is active you gain bonus damage from Hardened Carapace, additional To Hit from Environmental Modification, empowered-resistance debuff from Evolving Armor, and your debuff effects from DNA Siphon, Genetic Contamination and Parasitic Aura are increased. While Efficient Adaptation is active Hardened Carapace will provide a moderate endurance discount, Inexhaustible has increased Regeneration and Recovery, Evolving Armor grants additional regeneration and recovery per nearby target, DNA Siphon grants additional regeneration and recovery for each defeated target and Parasitic Aura grants additional regeneration and recovery for each nearby target.
Sentinels/Stalkers only: By purchasing this power you gain access to three mutually exclusive toggle powers: Efficient Adaptation, Defensive Adaptation and Offensive Adaptation. If Defensive Adaptation is active you gain improved damage resistance from Hardened Carapace and Genetic Corruption, additional defense from Environmental Modification, and increased Maximum HP from Environmental Modification and Boundless Energy. If Offensive Adaptation is active you gain bonus damage from Hardened Carapace, additional To Hit from Environmental Modification, empowered debuff effects from DNA Siphon, and Parasitic Aura and increased sleep chance from Genetic Corruption. While Efficient Adaptation is active Hardened Carapace will provide a moderate endurance discount, Boundless Energy has increased Regeneration and Recovery, Genetic Corruption grants additional regeneration, DNA Siphon grants additional regeneration and recovery for each defeated target and Parasitic Aura grants additional regeneration and recovery for each nearby target.

Adaptation Types
Bio Armor Efficient Mode
By activating this power you cause your Bio Armor to spontaneously mutate, causing it to become evenly distributed along your body. While active Hardened Caparace grants a minor Endurance Discount, Inexhaustible (Boundless Energy for Sentinels/Stalkers) grants additional regeneration and recovery, Ablative Carapace grants a bonus to regeneration, Evolving Armor grants additional regeneration and recovery for nearby targets (except Sentinels/Stalkers), Genetic Corruption grants a minor regeneration buff (Sentinels/Stalkers only), and both DNA Siphon and Parasitic Aura grant increased regeneration and recovery. Efficient Adaptation costs no endurance.
Bio Armor Defensive Mode
By activating this power you cause your Bio Armor to spontaneously mutate, causing it to become dense and durable. While active Hardened Carapace grants additional resistance to Lethal, Smashing and Toxic damage, Inexhaustible (Boundless Energy for Sentinels/Stalkers) grants additional Maximum HP, Environmental Modification grants additional defense and also grants a small amount of Maximum HP, Evolving Armor grants additional resistance and a small amount of defense per nearby target but loses the resistance debuff effect (except Sentinels/Stalkers), Ablative Carapace grants additional damage absorption, DNA Siphon grants additional health per target hit and Parasitic Aura grants additional damage absorption per target hit. Genetic Corruption will also grant a small amount of additional dmaage resistance and increase the potency of the power's damage debuff (Sentinels/Stalkers only). Additionally, many of your damaging attacks will heal you for a minor amount of health. However, the bulkiness of this adaptation reduces your damage moderately. Defensive Adaptation costs no endurance.
Bio Armor Offensive Mode
By activating this power you cause your Bio Armor to spontaneously mutate, causing it to sprout spines and become much lighter. While active Hardened Carapace increases your damage slightly, Environmental Modification grants you a moderate to hit buff, Evolving Armor has an improved Damage Resistance debuff (except Sentinels/Stalkers), and debuff effects from DNA Siphon, Genetic Contamination (except Sentinels/Stalkers) and Parasitic Aura are increased moderately. Genetic Corruption will have its chance to put enemies to sleep increased (Sentinels/Stalkers only). Additionally, many of your damaging powers will inflict a minor amount of additional Toxic damage. While Offensive Adaptation is active your Defense and Damage Resistance is reduced slightly. Offensive Adaptation costs no endurance.
Athletic Regulation
Your body is continually regulating your athletic capabilities to best fit your current need. While Offensive Adaptation is active you gain a strong increase in strength to all your run and flight powers. While Defensive Adaptation is active you gain very strong movement debuff resistance in addition to a bonus to defense debuff resistance. While Efficient Adaptation is active, you gain a good balance of both, resistance and movement speed strength. This power is always on and permanently increases your movement speed, regardless your Adaptation. You also gain a small amount of defense debuff resistance.

Boundless Energy
Your body constantly evolves and addresses weaknesses. As a result you receive a moderate bonus to maximum hit points, regeneration, recovery, increased endurance, as well as gaining a measure of Slow and Endurance Drain Resistance. Half of this power's maximum hit point increase is unenhanceable. While Efficient Adaptation is active, this power grants a small bonus to recovery and regeneration. While Defensive Adaptation is active you gain a small amount of additional maximum hit points. This power doean't grant any bonuses to Offensive Adaptation. These special bonuses are unenhanceable.

DNA Siphon
You can siphon genetic material from nearby enemies, causing a minor amount of Lethal damage and a minor amount of Toxic damage over time. Living enemies will provide the user with a small boost to health and endurance. These foes will have their regeneration rate reduced for a short period of time. Defeated enemies provide a weaker sample of material and thus will boost recovery and regeneration for a short while. While Efficient Adaptation is active, this power will grant bonus regeneration and recovery per defeated target hit. While Defensive Adaptation is active, this power will grant bonus health per living target hit. While Offensive Adaptation is active this power's regeneration debuff is increased in effectiveness.

Historical
- Bio Armor was leaked on the Beta Server early in the design process, when it was still called Symbiotic Armor. Symbiotic Armor was subsequently restricted from viewing in beta, and when it finally returned, it had been renamed to Bio Armor.
- Bio Armor was not included in the final Issue 24 beta patch notes. It may have been intended to be available to subscribers and the Paragon Market.
- Bio Armor was added to the game in Issue 25.
