Hello again, my coffee loving friends. Magic damage is always the best rule set for Armored Up. This is because of the nature of their attacks where it can pass through armor. You would be able to enjoy the Armored Up benefits of getting he extra 2 armor while not being bothered by It on your enemies.
RULE SETS
| Active: | |
|---|---|
| Armored Up: All Units have 2 Armor in addition to their normal Armor stat. |

STRATEGY
Use Obsidian's magic damage bonus and magic damage to make attacks pass through armor. Since the rule set is Armored Up, I assume that my enemies will not be using a lot of melee and Sneak. I placed Magi of Chaos behind Kron the Undying in case my enemies would use Snipe. This placement protects my Goblin Psychic from getting killed. In order to protect them further, I added a unit with Triage to heal my back row increasing the chance they would survive the enemy's potential Snipes.
Alternative Strategy: Another strategy that I thought of is using Armored Strike to abuse Armored Up. The reason I didn't do this is because Armored Strike is a Melee damage and the damage from the ability will only get absorbed by the armor given by Armored Up. To counter this, you would need another ability, which is, Piercing. I didn't do it due to the number of preparations needed so, realistically, it is way worse than simply using magic damage.
CARD POSITIONING
In this battle, I used the summoner, Obsidian and units, Kron the Undying, Magi of Chaos, Goblin Psychic, Spirit Hoarder, Djinn Biljka .
Quick Stats
| Level 2: Rare Summoner. Allows level 3 common, level 2 rare, level 2 epic and level 1 legendary. |
Heal |
Tank Heal |
|
| 1. Level 1: High damage tank. Kron can be placed in any position due to his health and damage. In this battle, I decided to use him as a tank and placed him in the front. | 2. Level 1: I decided to use Magi of Chaos as a secondary tank. This also protects my team against potential Snipes which can take form of magic damage, which passes through armor. | 3. Level 1: In order to make Kron the Undying more durable, I added Goblin Psychic who has Tank Heal that can heal Kron the Undying. |
Triage |
Camouflage |
|
| 4. Level 1: Spirit Hoarder's Triage works like Tank Heal but for the rear. In case my enemies would be using Snipe, this can counter those damage. | 5. Level 1: I have an extra 3 mana so I used Djinn Biljka. He has Camouflage ability so he cannot be a target for attacks. This means that in order for my enemy to kill him, they needed to get pass through my very strong Kron the Undying. |
