E9 bless buggy with Abysia ?

[Jack_Trowell]

Important note about E9 blessing : it increase *all* armor bonuses.

What does it means ?

Take any humanoid unit

Give him for exemple the shroud of the battle saint (protection: body 8, give permanent blessing to wearer)

Add an helmet, for exemple the dragon helmet (protection: head of 15)

With E9 blessing you get this :

protection: body => 8+4 = 12
protection: head => 15+4 = 19

Not so bad, I often used this blessing on non sacred mages, the reinvigoration is good, and the final armor is good enough to take an arrow or two.

Then add the bracers of protection, and what do you get :

protection (untyped) : 2

... with earth blessing it become 2 + 4

Final protection :

protection => 2+4 = 6
protection: body => 8+4 = 12 + 6 = 18 !
protection: head => 15+4 = 19 +6 = 25

... and then you start adding half the natural armor ...


I discovered this not with the bracers, but with the fire helmet, who give at the same time protection:head of 20 *and* protection of 5 (but reinvigoration -3)
