Anon 75.190.40.11, Armor really is not that difficult to understand if you would actually make an attempt to understand it. You appear to be the same anon who commented on the Armor page of this very Wiki as you also mentioned the Valkyr and Nova comparison there. It's very simple, Armor reduces the amount of health damage (Armor does NOT affect shields) taken by a percentage. That percentage is calculated using the formula that can be found on the Armor page of the Wiki. e.g. Valkyr at 600 Armor has a 66.67% damage reduction to health (meaning she is dealt only 1/3 of the damage from whatever attack hits her health), while Nova at 65 only gets a damage reduction of 17.81% to health. So, if Valkyr had no shields and was hit with an attack dealing 100 damage, she would only take 33 damage, and Nova being hit with the same attack dealing 100 damage would take ~82 damage. It's definitely a very noticeable difference, and no, it doesn't need a rework just because you can't understand basic math.
