Armor Mitigation takes into account Physical/Elemental Resistances of the damaged entity's armor and then applies the sum of Armor Penetration modifiers.

Armor Resistance[]

  • Armor is the total value displayed on your character paper doll (PHYS or ELEM).
  • AWGS is the Gear Score of the attacker's weapon.

Armor Penetration[]

Armor Penetration reduces the amount of mitigation done from armor. Each modifier is additive among themselves.
