Revision as of 12:05, 3 April 2010
Armor is a unit property which reduces incoming damage by a set amount per hit. Armor may be upgraded at certain structures.
Armor can make a significant difference in what units counter what. Units that do low damage are most penalized by attacking a target's armor. Marines and zerglings are thus most affected by high armor. Ultralisks are a good counter to MnM for this reason.
Armor upgrades are also very significant. Upgraded weapons can reduce the number of hits it takes to kill a unit, and upgrading the unit's armor in response can counter this. For example, zerglings die to zealots in 2 hits instead of 3 if the zealots have 1 weapon upgrade and the zerglings have no carapace upgrade.
All attacks will do a minimum of 1 damage, even if the armor is higher then the attack's damage. However, some special attacks ignore armor, and all spells ignore armor.
StarCraft II
In StarCraft II, spell attacks ignore armor.[1] Some units gain bonuses towards light or armored units[2].
