You'll have to post an updated version when TW:WHIII comes out. They are replacing magic resistance with spell resistance, and there is a functional difference. Magic resistance helps against units using magic weapons, spell resistance doesn't. Spell resistance will only help against spells.

@krankarvolund7771 3 жыл бұрын

Are you sure that spell resistance is not a thing in addition of the other resistances? Because that would mean all magic attacks have a lot less resistance, that would be weird ^^' Like the frost phoenix bypass physical resistance, is not fire, nor missile, if they get rid of magic resistance he would always deal 100% of his damage minus armour, that's very strong....

@lordchaos7770 3 жыл бұрын

I dont think any of this is really under the hood, except maybe exactly how armor works. Its not always obvious though, and depends on the extent you read tooltips and other in game supplements. For instance if you read a spell tooptip some are effective against armor and some are not, so the implication armor effects magic is pretty strong, and also armor tooltip says it reduces all non armor piercing damage.

@skupipup 3 жыл бұрын

I don`t know if the tool tip is regarding or hinting towards this, or simply wrong. But tool tip could mean, that the damage is either, devided by number of models and applied, like FOD and aura of vile transmutation. Or that the damage is applied on a one single model, like spirt leech and (I presume) traitor kin.

One important thing to note is that afaik, armour is not capped at 90%. However, every single attack will deal at least 1 damage, even if it has no AP damage (though I believe every attack in the game has at least 1 AP damage anyway, which means that you can technically resist all base damage by 100% if you have 200 armour). Edit: Not sure if that "at least 1 damage" is actually true - but again, due to at least 1 AP, it doesn't matter.
