Armor

Armor

Every point of Armor provides 1% effective health against the attacks of the same damage type. Armor grants damage reduction against a type of damage. It can also be expressed as following: if you have 1000 Health Points (HP), each armor point grants 10 Effective Health Points (EHP) (1%).

Armor applies to both, Heroes and Enemies. All Heroes have 0 armor as base, most enemies too. Armor doesn't have a cap in either direction.

There are 6 types of armor, one for each element/damage type in the game: Physical, Frost, Fire, Arcane and Lightning. The Sixth type of armor is Magical, which englobes the last four, magic armor gives armor against all four magic elements.

Physical, Lightning, Fire, Arcane and Ice Armor Icons

Armor can have positive and negative numbers, a positive amount of armor translates in a greater EHP and has an equivalent damage reduction in %. A negative amount of armor means a lower EHP than your HP and therefore a damage amplification.

Below you can see a brief table with some of the most used armor values in the game and their equivalents to damage reduction or amplification:

Armor	Damage Reduction (%)	Armor	Damage Amplification (%)
6	5,66	-6	5,66
8	7,41	-8	7,41
12	10,71	-12	10,71
15	13,04	-15	13,04
25	20,00	-25	20,00
50	33,33	-50	33,33
100	50,00	-100	50,00

Negative Armor

Unlike positive armor, negative armor means that the damage taken is greater, the damage is amplified instead of reduced. Which means that the EHP from negative armor is also negative, lower than the base HP.

For negative armor, the EHP loss from each negative armor point is not constant. If you expand the table below you can see a more detailed information about positive armor, the equivalent of damage reduction and the EHP:
