Tips that save runs

  • Vitality: health plus armor is the classic tanky pair.
  • Frames with 100 or more base armor, where the percent has real numbers to work on.
  • Valkyr and other high-armor frames.
  • Armor mods add together and then multiply your base armor.
  • The Armor page shows that 600 armor blocks about two thirds of damage.

Mistakes that waste runs

  • Slotting it on a low-armor frame and expecting much.
  • Expecting it to protect against armor stripping.
