For those who want have a idea about how much damage she can tank with armor:


 * 300 armor = 100% bonus ehp = 1/2 damage taken = 50% mitigation
 * 600 armor = 200% bonus ehp = 1/3 damage taken = 66% mitigation = Valkyr base armor
 * 900 armor = 300% bonus ehp = 1/4 damage taken = 75% mitigation = Valkyr base armor with maxed warcry (no power strength)
 * 1200 armor = 400% bonus ehp = 1/5 damage taken = 80% mitigation ≈ Valkyr armor with maxed Steel Fiber OR Valkyr base armor with maxed warcry (maximized power strength)
 * 1500 armor = 500% bonus ehp = 1/6 damage taken = 83.33% mitigation
 * 1800 armor = 600% bonus ehp = 1/7 damage taken = 85.71% mitigation ≈ Valkyr armor with maxed Steel Fiber and with maxed warcry (no power strength)
 * 2100 armor = 700% bonus ehp = 1/8 damage taken = 87.5% mitigation
 * 2400 armor = 800% bonus ehp = 1/9 damage taken = 88.88% mitigation
 * 2700 armor = 900% bonus ehp = 1/10 damage taken = 90% mitigation ≈ Valkyr armor with maxed Steel Fiber and with maxed warcry (maximized power strength)

The formula is "Pos-mitigation damage = Pre-mitigation damage / (1 + (Armor / 300))"

Simplifying: with the current damage formula, each point of armor gives 0.33% extra ehp. Effective health points ("ehp" for short) are how much total raw damage you can take BEFORE mitigation. So for example, if you have a Warframe with 1000 HP and 300 armor (remembering 300 armor is 50% mitigation), this means you can tank as much damage as a Warframe with 2000 HP and 0 armor. Put in another way, each 300 armor gives 100% bonus health in practice.

By the way, here we can see that Steel Fiber basically multiplies her health pool by 5 at all times (80% mitigation means you can take 5 times more damage). Between Steel Fiber and strength maxed Warcry, Steel Fiber wins. Stacking Warcry on top of Steel Fiber doesn't help significantly, UNLESS you maximize power strength (including corrupted mods), in which case you will literally take a tenth of the damage when using both.
