How do you transition from an armour to another? (feddit.it)

I'm playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon. I used to play it with minimal luck, or skill, and I got back into it. First run in years and I'm deeper than ever before.

I'm running a Berserker with a +1 Flail and a +7 Scale Armour (+1 coming from the seal). I'm nearing the dwarf king (first time ever) and I got a +1 plate armour and 4 upgrade scrolls.

What makes more sense, hold onto the scale and pump that further or swap, dumping my 4 upgrades on it bringing it to a comparable power to my scale, banking on better future scaling?

I also got a +1 glaive. Slow as fuck but hits like a truck. The flail hits similarly (when it does) but it's faster...

Edit: I got a +9 sad ghost that could really use a better armour as well, he's currently on a +1 mail and it's, well, his glory days are behind him.

Getting +7 on scale armor is questionable, since now you kinda have to commit to scale armor. Stick with scale for now, and if your ehp isn't too bad wait and see if you drop a +2 or +3 plate somewhere. Spending all of your scrolls on armor is going to hurt later on in the run when your damage starts to tank.
