What +1 Armor is actually worth

Damage is truncated to a whole number after the scaling terms are summed, and rounded again after the global multiplier. A stat point that does not push a weapon past one of those steps changes its output by exactly nothing. Below, each weapon family was recomputed one point at a time from the shared baseline until its damage per second moved.

Stated, with its confidence

Armor mechanics

ConfirmedA run starts with 0 Armor.
ConfirmedThe player’s armor resolves through the uncapped accessor and is cast to a whole number.
ConfirmedIn the shared damage pipeline, armor is subtracted from an incoming hit as a flat whole number and the result is clamped to at least 1, in the cases where armor applies.
UnresolvedWhich incoming hits count as armor-applying was not enumerated by this site’s model.
ConfirmedCharacter effects, item effects and level-up upgrades all enter the same store, where the ordinary stat line adds. The resolved value is the raw total multiplied by one plus that stat’s gain percentage; it stays a fraction internally and the shop display truncates it.

Confidence words are the ones this site’s own model records. How these figures are calculated.

Metric boundary

What this site does not model for Armor

Every figure on this page is expected primary-target damage per second before enemy armor, with all projectiles aimed at the primary target connecting. Enemy armor, later pierce or bounce targets, melee area targets, misses, overkill, burning, explosions and on-hit effects are outside it.
Damage the player actually takes is not modelled; the pipeline fact above is the shared one, stated for the hit rather than for a run.
