An armor archetype sets the two highest stats on an Armor 3.0 drop. This table helps you read a calculator result and choose a matching Ghost Armorer focus.
Open the armor stat calculatorA masterworked Tier 5 roll has 30 points in its primary stat, 25 in its secondary stat, and 20 in its tertiary stat. The remaining three stats each receive 5 points from masterworking.

Start with the two stats that need the most points. If an archetype matches both, its 30/25 pair is a useful base. When no pair matches, combine archetypes across the five pieces and use tertiary stats to fill the gaps. The calculator handles that search for you.
Check the stat pair instead of relying on the archetype name. Powerhouse means Weapons plus Super. Siegebreaker means Health plus Grenade.
Monument of Triumph added Siegebreaker, Skirmisher, Demolitionist, Colossus, Reaver, and Powerhouse. The original six remain available, so there are now 12. Bungie also changed Ghost Armorer mods so the selected archetype has about a one in two drop chance.
Armor 3.0 Exotics now use Tier 5 stats and have access to all tuning mods. Exotic class items keep their existing stat-roll behavior.
There are 12 Armor 3.0 archetypes after Monument of Triumph. Six launched with The Edge of Fate and six more were added on June 9, 2026.
An archetype fixes the two highest stats on an Armor 3.0 drop: a primary and a secondary. A tertiary is selected from one of the remaining four stats.
The tertiary can be any of the four stats that are not already the archetype's primary or secondary stat.
No. Start with a target-stat calculation and keep the profiles that support builds you plan to use.
