Armorer is a secondary skill, that reduces the physical damage done to hero's creatures. Physical damage means damage done by enemy creatures engaged in melee or ranged combat. Armorer secondary skill does not reduce damage from spells cast by enemy heroes or creatures.

Bug: the damage from arrow towers during siege combat is not reduced by armorer secondary skill, but actually increased the corresponding amount (fixed in 深渊号角 ).

Heroes with Armorer (basic) as a starting skill:

• All Beastmasters start with Basic Armorer except Tazar, who starts with Advanced.
•   Edric - 骑士
•   Galthran - 死亡骑士
•   Marius - 魔鬼 – Advanced Armorer
•   Roland - 骑士
•   Illor - 船长

Heroes, having 防御术 as a specialty and a starting skill:

•   Mephala - 巡逻兵 – Basic Armorer
•   Neela - 炼金术士 – Basic Armorer

Comparison to Defense primary skill

This table shows how much extra Defense skill would need the hero of attacked unit have, in order to reach the same effect in damage reduction as with the Armorer skill ( = how much is the Armorer skill worth in terms of defense), assuming no other damage modifiers. E.g.: to get the same protective effect as 10 positive defense/attack balance with advanced Armorer skill you will need 10 + 3 defense/attack balance without the skill. For the practical use all the decimals should be rounded.

Armorer is a very useful secondary skill. As it reduces all physical damage at expert level by 15%, it effectively increases allied creatures' health by 18% (17.64% to be excact). Reduced damage leads to fewer casualties in battles, and more troops for the next battle. In extra large maps this may give the needed edge to vanquish the enemy. Predictably, two of three heroes with Armorer specialty appear in towns whose style is mostly defensive (both Rampart and Fortress have slow but very tough units with abilities which make them perfect for defending towns, namely Dwarves, Dendroids, and Gorgons), thus if you start in Rampart or Fortress, Mephala or Tazar would be a very good choice since they make your towns truly impregnable.
