Armor

Armor is a class of items that mitigate physical damage and are equipped in the different armor slots (head, chest (aka body), hands, legs, and feet. This sort of armor contributes to the Armor attribute, a numerical value that translates into damage reduction in combat. Armor should not be confused with Defense bonus, which displays on the HUD with a shield icon when boosted.

Armor equipment slots

There are five slots that a character can equip armor items into: the character's head, chest (aka body), legs, feet, and hands.

Armor Value

The amount of armor you receive from armor is constant between classes and armor sets, the only things which affect it are the slot it is for, the rarity of the item, and the level of the item (or the level it is being scaled down to). This can be calculated as follows for any level of enhancement:

Slot

Top	Pants	Gloves	Shoes
1	0.8	0.6	0.4

Rarity

Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
0	1	2	3	4

NB: The magic armor that can be synthesized in Nexus District uses the same Rarity number as Legendary rather than magic armor

round the results of the following to the nearest whole number

${\textstyle Armor = (100\times Slot) + (5\times Rarity) + (ArmorLevel-1)\times(8\times Slot + 0.4\times Rarity)}$

Alternatively, there's also this handy lookup table (Note, it may not be possible to acquire Magic rarity equipment below lvl20, and legendary armor is currently unavailable. Nexus district magic armor uses legendary armor stats):

Damage absorption

Armor effectively augments a character's health to a higher number (if the armor is positive), due to the additional amount of damage a player can withstand. For instance, a character with 5000 health and 50% armor would be able to absorb 10000 damage before dying. To determine what your effective HP is after damage reduction: $EffectiveHealth = Health\div(1-damage Reduction)$

Armor damage reduction formula

damage reduction is rounded to one decimal place in game, use your actual character level even when under the effects of level scaling

$Damage Reduction = Armor\div((Armor/100)+4+0.35\times characterLevel)$
