Armor

Armor

You take x% less damage. There is no limit to this stat, but it quickly gets less effective with each level.

If Armor is negative, you take more damage.

Formula & Values

The formula for calculating Armor's damage reduction value is:

DmgReceived%  = 10 / ( 10 + ( ARMOR / 1.5 ) )
DmgReduction% = ROUND( ( 1 - ( DmgReceived% ) ) * 100 )

This table shows various damage reduction values with different Armor stats.

The "Increase" row shows how quickly the drop-off for damage reduction occurs (eg. going from 0 to 1 Armor gives -6% damage reduction, while going from 9 to 10 only gives -2% more reduction).
