There are three primary ways to get Armor in Hades 2. You can acquire it through one of the dresses that are offered to you by Arachne. It is also possible to get Armor as a boon effect at any point during your run. Lastly, you can purchase it from Charon.

You will have to spend 40 Golden Crowns at Charon's Shop for a random amount of Armor. Note that when you gain Armor through Arachne's dresses, any buffs accompanying it will be dispelled as soon as the Armor is depleted.

You should also consider buying the Scarlet Dress item. It grants +60 Armor along with one Fate Fabric, which is important for acquiring Moondust in Hades 2. Another good item to have is the Emerald Dress, which grants +50 Armor and restores your health by +2 each time you exit a location.
