That 350 armor is necessary for two reasons: the first being that Chroma loses some of that armor upon using Effigy, and second that it provides an option of modding him different to use armor rather than shields for defense, especially since his third skill Vex Armor allows him to gain additional attack damage from taking damage to his health. He's not a cookie-cutter frame that's for sure, and I'm glad we have a tanky frame that's tough without using abilities like Iron Skin, and also keeping Valkyr's niche of heavy armor.
