Production notes[edit]

Champion, alongside the other Banished armor featured in the Banished Honor update, was originally concepted to consist of two preset armor kits. Due to the unpopular fan reception of those fixed kits, the designs were split up into individual armor pieces to allow for player customization.[3]
