What Does Armor Do In Diablo Immortal?

Learn how Armor works in diablo immortal. Increase your Armor stat via Fortitude, Aquamarine gems, and the Legacy of the Horadrim.

Armor in diablo immortal is a relative value. If your Armor is higher than expected for your character level, you’ll enjoy greater damage reduction when you block attacks and will sustain less critical hit damage. Conversely, if your Armor is lower than expected for your character level, you may sustain more critical hit damage.

Armor is a secondary attribute in diablo immortal. It is derived from numerous sources, including your Fortitude attribute, equipped Normal Gems, and by upgrading the Legacy of the Horadrim.

How to Increase Your Armor Attribute:

You can increase your Armor attribute by equipping Aquamarines (Normal Gems, you must have secondary gear with blue gem sockets to equip). Upgrading Normal Gems to higher ranks will cause their effects to increase substantially.

Installing Vessels into the Legacy of the Horadrim will provide passive bonuses to various stats, with the Caldesan’s Compassion and Cathan’s Piety Vessels both increasing Armor. Upgrading installed Vessels will increase the stat bonuses they provide.

Fortitude:

Most gear generally gives you flat bonuses to Damage or Life, as well as having a Magic Property and potentially a Legendary Property. In addition, equipment will give you Attribute bonuses, with rarer, higher level equipment granting higher Attribute bonuses. Any piece of gear - provided it’s at least of Rare quality or higher should have bonuses to two different Attributes on it. What two attributes a piece of equipment has on it is random, as is the value of said Attribute bonuses.

In addition to gear, your Resonance score modifies the Base Attribute bonuses your equipped gear grants you, with a higher Resonance score yielding a higher percentage bonus to your Attribute scores. Since many other derived stats like Armor, Armor Penetration, Combat Rating, Damage, Life, Potency and Resistance are directly influenced by your Attributes, your Resonance score is immensely important, and does much to determine your overall effectiveness in combat. Resonance is primarily gained by equipping Legendary Gems, the rarer the Legendary Gem and the more it has been upgraded, the higher the Resonance bonus, hence the higher your Attributes will be boosted.
