## Armor Types

These types mean nothing inherently. A Light armor unit will not take more damage than a Heavy armor unit, from the same damage source.

Where this change is some units deal particular damage to a particular armor type.

For example, a Dervish deals 16 damage generally, 24 to medium, and 32 damage to heavy armor types.

As an opposite example, the Zephyr will deal 20 damage generally, 24 to medium and 28 to heavy armor types. And as a different example, Sipari deals 20 damage generally, 18 damage to heavy armor.

But wait, your opponent moved their two armies together!

Defensively, Masked Hunters deal less damage to the heavy armor type, and Xacals do less damage to Light.
|
|
|
|
|
|

So while you want your Dervish to attack Masked Hunters, and the Zephyrs to attack the Xacals, you also want your Dervish to defend against the Xacals and Zephyrs to defend against the Masked Hunters.

In mixed battles, you can spend some micro on your units to defend against enemy attackers they are strong against while having them attack potentially different enemies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So what should you do? Build some Sipari, a Light armor unit, to help tank some Xacal shots, to give your Dervish and Zephyrs room to maneuver against their key targets.

Some units have additional tags, such as Structure and Etheric. Units can deal particular, or BONUS damage against enemies with those tags.

**What are structures?** Structures are any building. Pretty much anything not a part of your moving army.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As an example of bonus damage, the Absolver deals +8 damage to structures, giving it 29 DPS to heavy structures. Conversely, it has 23 DPS against heavy structures when deployed, meaning Absolvers are better at sniping most structures when mobilized.

Heads up though, that not all structures are heavy, examples include Radiant Wards generated by the Dervish.

**What are etherics?** Etherics are most caster units in the game. These casters can generally win long drawn-out fights, so are good to snipe with units that deal extra damage against them.
