Armored Strike

Armored Strike

"This unit gets an additional melee attack using its armor stat."

No armor, Armored Strike!

Remarkable Interactions

1. The current armor stat is equivalent to the attack granted by Armored Strike.  Armored Strike attack reduces as armor reduces.
   • For example, Mantaroth at max level has a 3 melee attack, and 4 armored strike attack. If the armor is reduced by two, next time it would attack with the 3 melee attack and 2 Armored Strike - with the 2 remaining armor.
2. If armor is shattered or reduced/eliminated by Corrosive Ward or destroyed by other attacks, the non-existent armor is unusable for an attack.
3. Armor that has been Repaired may be used to attack.
4. Armor that has been granted by Protect can be Dispelled - making it unusable by the unit with Armored Strike. 
5. Units that are Resurrected return to life with full armor and may continue to attack with their armor.
6. Halving does not impact armor or armored strike. 
7. If a unit has Armored Strike and Trample, Trample can trigger on Armored Strike. 
8. Armored Strike can trigger Retaliate.

Notable Rulesets

1. Armored Up: With each unit gaining 2 additional armor, your unit with Armored Strike gains 2 attack. 
2. Unprotected: Without armor, your unit with Armored Strike will be unable to use it. Please note that Protect and Repair will have no effect within this ruleset. 

Notable Abilities

1. Shield: Protect your armor from melee and ranged attacks with Shield. 
2. Protect: Bulk up your Armored Strike attack by adding additional armor!
3. Corrosive Ward and Thorns: Both of these abilities will reduce your armor. Reduction by Thorns allows for Repair while Corrosive Ward reduces the amount available for Repair with each attack. Both effects can be Amplified.
