Armor, or ARM, is the reduction of damage dealt to Nanovor.
ARM is a modifiable attribute; meaning that a Nanovor's ARM can be permanently increased through the use of Jolts.
ARM works as a flat damage reduction. Every time a Nanovor with ARM takes damage from an attack that doesn't ignore armor, the damage they take will be subtracted by their ARM stat.
There are some overrides that increase a swarm's ARM:
There are also many attacks that strip a target's ARM:
- Rust (-5 ARM)
- Backspin (-5 ARM)
- Fathom Blast (-10 ARM)
- Poison Mist (-10 ARM, with a Yellow Spike)
Magnamods have the highest ARM of any faction of Nanovor on average.
