Introduction

In this episode of Guardian’s Guidebook, we will delve into the importance of armor and magic defense in Hero Wars battles. These stats play a crucial role in reducing the damage your guardians receive during combat. Additionally, we will explore how these stats interact with special stats like armor penetration and magic penetration. By understanding and optimizing these stats, you will significantly enhance the longevity of your heroes in battles.

Armor and Magic Defense

Armor and magic defense are essential stats that directly impact the damage your guardians endure in battle. Armor reduces incoming physical damage, while magic defense reduces magic damage. Both stats follow a specific formula to determine the amount of reduction they provide.

Using the formula, the amount of reduction can be calculated by dividing the armor or magic defense points by a multiplier. For instance, if a hero has 3,000 armor or magic defense points, the formula would look like this:

Total Reduction = Armor or Magic Defense Points / Multiplier

In this case, the multiplier is 50, meaning that 3,000 points would reduce incoming physical or magic damage by 50%.

It’s important to note that no amount of armor or magic defense can provide 100% damage reduction. As the stat is increased, the reduction from additional points becomes less significant. This means that higher stats provide diminishing returns.

Armor Penetration and Magic Penetration

In addition to armor and magic defense, we have special stats called armor penetration and magic penetration, respectively. These unique stats allow guardians to ignore a portion of an opponent’s armor or magic defense. The ratio is one to one, meaning that one armor penetration point allows a hero to bypass one armor point of the enemy.

Understanding Armor in Different Circumstances

Let’s explore how armor works in different scenarios using examples from Hero Wars. Keep in mind that the same principles apply to magic defense as well.

Example 1: Cal Hat

In this example, Cal Hat has approximately 3,000 points of armor. Using the formula, we can calculate that Kira’s initial basic attack damage of 10,024 is reduced by roughly 50%.

Example 2: Galahad’s Armor Increase

If we increase Galahad’s armor stat to around 9,000 points, he will be able to reduce Kira’s incoming physical damage by 75%. The higher the armor stat, the greater the reduction.

Example 3: Armor Penetration

Now, let’s consider an example where Kira has 6,000 armor penetration points. This allows her to ignore an equivalent amount of Galahad’s armor points, bringing the damage reduction back to 50%. It’s crucial to have armor penetration to counter high-armored opponents effectively.

Furthermore, if Kira’s armor penetration surpasses Galahad’s 9,000 armor, it does not result in increased damage. The formula remains the same, so overkilling armor penetration does not affect the damage dealt.

The Importance of Armor and Magic Defense

As demonstrated, armor and magic defense are instrumental in improving the survivability of your heroes. By investing in these stats, you can significantly enhance the overall longevity of your guardians during battles. If you’re struggling against highly resistant opponents, consider increasing your armor penetration and magic penetration to cut through their defenses effectively.

Conclusion

Optimizing the stats of your heroes, particularly armor and magic defense, is crucial for their survival in Hero Wars battles. It’s essential to understand the formulas and mechanics behind these stats, as well as their interaction with armor penetration and magic penetration. By strategically investing in these stats, you can ensure that your heroes live longer and overcome even the most formidable opponents on your journey in Hero Wars.
