E9 bless buggy with Abysia ?

[Jack_Trowell]

- E9 blessing is a sort of armor enchantment : no manufactured armor, no armor bonus from blessing

- protection value come from both natural armor and armor equipped. When a unit has both, natural armor lose part of its value (in proportion of the equipped armor value). You still have more protection than an unit with no natural armor and the same equipment, but your total protection is less than just natural armor + equipment armor.

So for your exemples :

Annoited of Rhuax still had his protection at 1 => no armor equipped. If you later give him any forged armor, you will see its protection value increase.

demonbred assassin => has natural armor, so while the armor protection is indeed increased by 4, the natural armor has less effect in proportion, and the total is 1 less that you would expect.
