How to Play Armor in Mystic Mayhem
Armor is a reliable Defender focused on drawing enemy attention and protecting her allies. Her shield buff and taunt skills are among the strongest in the game, allowing her to absorb damage effectively. Her ideal position is at the front line of the battlefield.
All of Armor’s skills are highly useful and can be game-changing on the battlefield. Ancestral Armor provides her with a shield equal to 230% of her DEF, which is already impressive. But what makes this skill exceptional is the taunt effect, forcing all enemies to target her. Currently, this is the only taunting skill in the game, solidifying Armor as the top-tier Defender pick.
Enhanced Armor deals damage and stuns enemies in an AoE around her. The area of effect is wide, and the stun lasts for a whopping 3 seconds. Use this skill after taunting enemies to maximize its impact by stunning all nearby targets.
Her Ultimate, Beast Armor, is an offensive skill, showing that she doesn’t just excel in defense, she’s also a powerhouse in offense. The best time to activate Beast Armor is after using Ancestral Armor, allowing her to gain extra shielding and draw enemies closer, making her AoE attacks hit more effectively.
Due to her skill set and playstyle heavily relying on her DEF stat, it’s important to equip Artifacts that enhance her DEF. The higher her DEF, the more effective her skills become. Enhancing her basic attack damage is not a bad option either.
Best Team Composition
F2P Team
One of the main reasons Armor is the top choice for a Defender is that she’s a free-to-play hero—players can obtain her by progressing through the Rallying Cry event. The characters listed above are all F2P powerhouses capable of carrying the team from early to late game.
Sleepwalker serves as the Controller, consistently regenerating Armor’s health when healing is needed. Lady Bullseye and Psylocke are among the best F2P damage dealers, capable of dealing heavy damage, especially when buffed by Sleepwalker.
Black Knight and Misty Knight are also strong alternatives for the damage dealer role in this team composition.
X-Men Team
All of these characters are X-Men and share the X-Men Bond, which grants them additional DEF and ATK on the field.
Emma Frost is an S-Tier Controller, capable of healing, dealing damage, buffing, and debuffing, all at once. Psylocke can serve as the Fighter, providing the burst damage this composition may lack. If you prefer AoE attacks and need more debuffs, Storm is the ideal choice.
Best Artifacts for Armor
The best Artifacts for Armor are the ones increasing her DEF and Max HP:
Stats to look for: DEF Up & Max HP Up.
- Crimson Gem grants Armor 1 stack of Crimson Mark each time she uses a skill. These stacks are consumed to heal 12% of her Max HP per stack, greatly enhancing her sustain.
- Asgard Shield increases the wearer's DEF by 10%, boosting Armor’s survivability even further.
- Force Field Glove increases the wearer's HP by 10%, reinforcing her role as a durable tank.
Best Highlight for Armor
These are the best Highlights for Armor:
1. Blessing of Vishanti
The wearer's HP increases by 10%. After using their Ultimate Move, the wearer gains a Shield equal to 10% of their HP. While the Shield is active, the wearer deals 8% more DMG and takes 8% less DMG.
This is a perfect fit for Armor, as her kit revolves around generating Shields. This synergy allows her to consistently benefit from the bonus damage and damage reduction effects.
2. Learn from the Best
The wearer's DEF increases by 16%. It also increases by 4% for every 5s after battle starts, stacking up to 5 times. For a total of 36% DEF increase, this is the best Epic rarity Highlight for Armor.
3. Light in Darkness
This easy-to-get Highlight increases Armor's DEF by 12%, which is a great option if you don't have the other 2 Highlights I mentioned above.
