Hard Leather Armor

Hard Leather Armor (also called Rock Leather) is armor made of multiple layers of Leather and hardened.

In Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, Rock Leather gives +20 Defense, which is 2 more than Bronze Armor, but two less than Cuirass Armor.

In Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, Hard Leather Armor is created by adding Jet Black to Soft Leather Armor, which increases its defense from +5 to +8. It cannot be upgraded any further and is outclassed when a Laurica (+10 DEF) can be created by combining Bronze with Ancient Memory.
