Cheat sheets that run it
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.
