{{Armor}} is a stat used by [[Heroes]] and [[Creeps]] alike. It reduces incoming damage by a set amount.  
  
==Interaction with damage==
===Normal damage===
Normal damage is reduced by armor. For each point of armor, the final damage of an attack will be lowered by one.  
===[[Piercing Damage]]===
Piercing damage completely ignores armor. Negative armor still makes you take more damage.
===[[Siege Damage]]===
Siege damage is not hindered in any way by the armor on a blocking unit, but will deal less damage to the tower if the tower itself has armor. 

== Artifact 2.0 Beta ==

==Notes==
Negative armor will cause the affected unit to take '''more''' damage than the attack would have done otherwise.
