====== Armor ======

Armor is a type of equipment in Remixed Dungeon that protects the hero from damage. Armor reduces the amount of damage the hero takes from enemy attacks.

==== Armor Types ====
  * [[en:rpd:cloth_armor_item|Cloth Armor]] - Starting armor for most classes, minimal protection
  * [[en:rpd:leather_armor_item|Leather Armor]] - Better protection than cloth
  * [[en:rpd:mail_armor_item|Mail Armor]] - Medium protection tier
  * [[en:rpd:scale_armor_item|Scale Armor]] - Good protection with evasion bonus
  * [[en:rpd:plate_armor_item|Plate Armor]] - Highest protection tier
  * [[en:rpd:hero_armor_item|Class Armor]] - Unique armor for each [[en:rpd:hero_class|hero class]]

==== Damage Reduction ====
Armor reduces incoming damage using the formula:
  * DR (Damage Reduction) = min(0.90, (armor defense - enemy attack level) / (armor defense + 10))
  * Effective defense increases with [[en:rpd:enchantments|enchantments]]
  * Maximum damage reduction is capped at 90%

==== Armor Properties ====
  * **Armor Class:** Tier determines base defense and strength requirement
  * **Durability:** Armor HP - decreases when hit, repaired with scrolls
  * **Upgrade Level:** Enhanced by [[en:rpd:scroll_of_upgrade_item|Scrolls of Upgrade]]
  * **[[en:rpd:glyphs|Glyph]]:** Special effect that can be added via [[en:rpd:arcane_stylus_item|Arcane Stylus]]

==== Enchantments ====
Armor can be enchanted using [[en:rpd:scroll_of_enchantment_item|Scrolls of Enchantment]]:
  * [[en:rpd:affection_enchantment|Affection]]
  * [[en:rpd:anti_magic_enchantment|Anti-Magic]]
  * [[en:rpd:brimstone_enchantment|Brimstone]]
  * [[en:rpd:camouflage_enchantment|Camouflage]]
  * [[en:rpd:entanglement_enchantment|Entanglement]]
  * [[en:rpd:flow_enchantment|Flow]]
  * [[en:rpd:frost_enchantment|Frost]]
  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_abundance|Abundance]]
  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_anti_entropy|Anti-Entropy]]
  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_brimstone|Brimstone]]
  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_deflection|Deflection]]
  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_entanglement|Entanglement]]
  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_flow|Flow]]
  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_horn|Horn]]
  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_magnetism|Magnetism]]
  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_multiplicity|Multiplicity]]
  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_obfuscation|Obfuscation]]

  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_swiftness|Swiftness]]
  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_thorns|Thorns]]
  * [[en:rpd:glyph_of_venom|Venom]]

==== Special Armors ====
  * **Class Armors:** Obtained by using [[en:rpd:armor_kit_item|Armor Kit]] on any armor - transforms into class-specific armor (Gladiator Armor, Berserker Armor, Warlock Armor, etc.)
  * **Artifact Armors:** Unique armors with special mechanics
  * **Cursed Armors:** Armors with negative effects that cannot be removed without [[en:rpd:scroll_of_remove_curse_item|Scroll of Remove Curse]]

==== Strategy ====
  * Use high DR armor for protection against strong enemies
  * Consider enchantments based on situation: Stone for pure defense, Thorns for aggressive play
  * Check [[en:rpd:enchantments|enchantments]] before committing to armor
  * Balance armor tier with strength requirement - over-encumbrance reduces evasion
