Jump to navigationJump to search

On this page, all armor bonuses and penalties are listed in the categories they belong. This is important, because each category plays a different role in armor calculation.

There are three categories:

  • Core armor,
  • Bonus armor, and
  • Special armor.

Notes[edit]

Special Cases[edit]

  • The Bison Cup's armor bonus looks like a "real" inscription, but it can't be changed. As a result, it functions as an inherent mod, not as an inscription. It falls under the Bonus Armor category.
  • The Chimeric Prism is a focus with armor bonuses that have a requirement. Therefore, those bonuses function like base shield armor and fall under the Core Armor category.
